It is SUCH A FUN GAME, and would probably be an excellent conversation starter at fannish parties.
Will! I think he would actually be a really excellent Ringbearer; he's actually a lot like Frodo, in terms of being odd and quiet and doing what needs to get done. (We shall leave aside jokes about missing fingers, as those are probably in bad taste.) And Lyra would be the best of Sams -- if Will needed her to, she could take up the Ring for a short while and give it right back -- but if she was tasked with the Ring herself I ... suspect the world might be a bit doomed. Actually if Lyra was given the Ring she'd probably grow up to be very much like a more effective Mrs. Coulter.
...now I'm imagining Mrs. Coulter or Lord Asriel getting the Ring and THE WORLDS WOULD BE DOOMED.
