I don't mean to offend, but if you wanted to do him a proper tribute, it probably shouldn't be in stealing parts of his work. Between you, the Harry Potter fans, the LOTR fans, and several other similar groups, I'm starting to wonder if anyone actually has any imagination of their own (south part references needed). It's like all some people can talk about is how they can incorporate something someone else has come up with (arguably) into something they're interested in. I'm not a writer, but I can't help but think that taking someone else's dream, and twisting it to your own purposes is a good idea of a tribute. Only George Lucas deserves such a treatment (entirely different thread). Not suggesting that you abandon your modding ambitions, or your fandom, just suggesting that you use that thing between your ears to come up with something original. If you still want to do a proper tribute, you could always add some side references. Anyone who says that imitation is the greatest form of flatery needs to read up on copyright laws.
