Embraced the cliche! I'm running a Third Age of the Sun Middle-Earth campaign (no, edit that) I'm trying to get off the ground a Third Age of the Sun Middle-Earth campaign with the original Dark Lord squatting in his tower. He hasn't moved all his stuff into Barad-Dur yet, he's still skulking...

Those Japanese castles are incredibly well thought through also. I used to think those strange sweeping roofs were simply aesthetic, but in fact they're designed to carry water, thrown down from the highest windows, from one roof to the next, putting out fires from flaming arrows. A bit like one...

Castle thread: when I think of castles I don't think of any of the ones pictured. For some reason I always think of the rather dull drizzle-misted one from Monty Python's Holy Grail (I fart in your general direction/help help I'm being oppressed) and tend to include them in my games. They are...

I'm not poo-pooing Fred_Binder's ideas, I hope that's not the impression I'm giving! My role as DM requires I keep a certain handhold on the setting and the foundations of the game. I'm merely ensuring I know where we're going with the logging camp idea. Certainly I agree there needs to be a...

Quite. My only concern is that with the logging camp as the unbreakable focus of the game, the group are less likely to quest around at all and the game becomes more akin to a sim, or a soap opera based within the logging camp with duty-based embarkations taking place within reach of the...

Yuurs. And do away with the falls? I quite like the dramaticism of the falls! Ah well. Yes, I like that a lot. Meet ups would likely be once yearly (day after the Dwarven new year?). Gimli wasn't really a loner. In the books at least, he accompanied his father Gloin (one of Bilbo's twelve...

Mirkwood is a very dangerous place and none but the Elves who dwell in the halls of Thranduil would risk living there full time (or part time). A logging enterprise wouldn't last long where the trees are tall and thick. Yuurs. Ok. How about this: our map's not terribly terribly accurate, but...

I've updated my email in my Enworld account. You can send me a message through my profile. I'd sooner not post my email in the forum. I get enough spam as it is :confused:

I think the assumption is that she'd go back to the Undying Lands after Aragorn's death. Not made particularly clear, and I'm just guessing to boot. Just a quick note: if players intend to use variant classes, prestige classes or classes from addendum books not found in the core rules, you...

The scout can't multiclass, except with a prestige class, due to the extreme hardship associated with learning the profession. Now, there are probably some extremely cool prestige classes you could use- particularly in Masters of the Wild :) Oh, and yes: I agree the Elf should be young and not...

Hm. Oddest thing is it's not in my sent items folder either. Very very strange. I think the gremlins are out in force. No matter. I'll just post the idea here, and attempt to remember as much as I can from the original email. In Middle-Earth there are seven Palantiri, scry-spheres forged by...

Mirkwood region and attached is the full sized Middle-Earth TA 1874 map.

Welcome to the world's longest post. Happy reading! While I was on holiday I read The Hobbit again in order to remind myself of the precise setting (ie Esgaroth). Some revelations follow :) Before I embark on comments re. posts, I'd like to alter my suggestion for a starting location as the...

Thanks for letting us know Ilium And then there were 6. I'd still prefer between 4 and 6 players, so still no openings at this point for new characters, though we've not had any sound from the Fenris camp as yet so it may be worth checking back over the course of next week. But now I must...

By which you mean a wandering Beorning, or a disenfranchised oaf from Rhun? (by oaf I'm painting the picture of a luggish type human of Conanish type, probably fleeing the destruction of his small-village settlement and the Wainriders in Rhun)? The only true barbarians in the Middle-Earth sense...

Absolutely no reason to apologise. I probably confused you by setting the Eotheod there in the first place. By rights they should be further northwest at this point anyway. With regard to chronology, and this kind of applies across the board for all players or visitors who choose to post in...
