    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Thanks for the character submission Redclaw! The dragon's treasure? By which you mean that of Scatha the Worm? This event doesn't take place at this point in time but is the concern of king Frum of the Eotheod, son of the current king Frumgar. It also relies on the dwarfs being present in the...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    I like this idea a lot. Definitely has legs (and logs). I'd agree with placing it adjacent to Lake Esgaroth and the town of Dale as anything further south would be way open to attacks by Wainriders and the nasties of Mirkwood and probably wouldn't last long. The river in question, btw, is called...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    *PLEASE READ* Thanks for all your character submissions/ideas so far. As mentioned in a previous post (but may have been missed in skim reading, so I'll post it here where it's a bit more prominent) I think we have enough characters to be going on with for now. I'd like the group to be between...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Sorry about that. Beorn wasn't around during our game period. He lived at the time of The Hobbit, which is nearly a full millenium in the future, but the PrC does fit very nicely! Could have been made with Beorn in mind.

    Well, yes. A werebear is a human/bear shapeshifter. In Middle-Earth Beorn was a Northman and Beorning chieftain of huge size and strength. As big as a troll and with the enviable ability to turn himself into a bear (some sources say he could only do this when he was angered, so a bit like a...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    3.5 edition. Sorry for the forshortening. (edit, submitted by accident) It's not a million miles away. Beorn of the Beornings, for example, was able to wildshape into the form of a black bear and there are lots of anthrointelligent animals, like birds, which could be used as familiars...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Greetings to everyone whose expressed an interest so far: Fenris, Ilium, Shayuri, Redclaw, Binder Fred and renau1g. Hi to you all and thanks for showing an interest! I'm looking forward to seeing where this all goes. No more player apps at this point please. I'd prefer the group to remain...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Good choice, I look forward to seeing your idea take shape. FYI The riders of Rohan are still known by the more romantic name Éothéod (or the less romantic Northmen) in this time period. They are yet to ally with Gondor to the extent where they will be given the Plains of Calenardhon, which...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Ok guys, it's definitely a valid point. I'll have a think and come up with something, hopefully to post tommorrow, regarding levels, starting information and so on. Very much book Tolkien. As mentioned previously, knowledge of chronology isn't crucial from a player perspective. From a GM...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Any of the characters in the list above are ok. I leave it up to enterprising players to ponder/suggest parallel D&D classes. I'd just like to hear character ideas for now and will sort out things like stats, starting equipment etc. once I have a better idea of the shape of the group and a...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    The Third Age of the Sun, and long have the sons of Numenore struggled against the tides of evil. The Witch King of Angmar, Lord of the Nazgul, holds dominion in the north and threatens the diminishing kingdom of Arnor. He seeks an end to the age of Men. In the south, King Umbardicil of Gondor...

    Calling all newts, subs and pures- In a broken future, a disaffected and war-ravaged population turn to a violent holovid show for entertainment. The Gauntlet, set aboard a deserted space station orbiting one of the surviving terra-worlds of the human system. Four champions are required to...

    I wish all publishers would go systemless.

    The trouble is, with regard to publishing, that you can't win. If you make systemless, you get bad reviews and complaints from GMs who don't want the hassle of doing the crunch themselves. If you include stats you invariably appeal to only a proportion of buyers using the product and are thusly...

    Paid – [Zeitgeist Games] Open Call for Writers!

    I've no experience with this company, but I was in a similar situation with Chaosium two years ago. They took an inordinate amount of time to pay and didn't respond to my persistent emails (though they did pay eventually I should grudgingly admit). So reputation and success of the company is not...

    Monday Fog'o'war (d20, etal)

    This is my second call for players. I realise now that my first intention to play CoC was too limiting given that I'm probably already restricting myself to UK players. So here goes again. Monday Fog'o'war is the dumb name I'm giving my virtual tabletop meet at www.rpgtonight.com previously...

    player seeking a group

    Alternatively, try RPG Tonight, a relatively new site with a cool virtual tabletop chat-style format. They have an announcement board with games etc. I run one myself at GMT 6pm on Monday evenings and you'd be welcome to join in. That's GMT UK time, though, so that pretty much alienates half the...
