The game has started! Thread link at the bottom of this post. Please read the waffle first. I have everyone's character sheets (with a few queries/possible problems I'll address as they arise to be honest rather than nitpick through them all in this thread. Nothing major I should add). I have...

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...

Oh, absolutely. No dwarf worth his salt would let burglars make off with a family heirloom without doing something. It was just the doing something on his own, with no help from anyone- as a typical dwarven trait (or so I interpreted) that I had issue with. I wouldn't have issue with it, and...

Thanks for everyones' comments! The actual map is much bigger than the resolution shown, so there's more detail close up, particularly in the back gardens and alleyways. The whole thing in full resolution is at RPG Tonight's website, but I don't know if you need to be in their living game to see...

Not black text now. I used spoiler tags instead of sblock, sorry

Awfully sorry folks, have had a rather busy day and haven't had a chance to do anything game related other than post the Magic In Middle-Earth text I wrote at the beginning of the week. You can find it in the OOC thread. Binder_Fred, I got your emails, thanks! I'll try to get back to you this...

Very facetious, give yourself a point. sblock was what I was after. Thanks Ankh-Morpork Guard.

Is there a problem with the spoiler tags? This is what happens when I use spoiler... You can't see what happens, because the text is just blacked out. Am I doing something wrong? Other folks seem able to use spoiler with a little button that puts the spoiler on full view. I tried to check...

I'm getting the same error message. Smilies are off limits to me :( (except that one, I entered it manually).

As mentioned elsewhere, some information about magic in Middle-Earth. This isn't compulsory reading, but may be of interest if you're looking at how rules apply and so on. May also be a useful ongoing resource during the game. Most of this is not original, with the exception of my personal...

All you need to say. This The suggestion seemed to be its his racial duty, that where ancestry is involved, a *dwarf's* business is a *dwarf's* business and because he's a dwarf, Baran has no choice but to go it alone, which would be inventing racial traits that I don't think apply to...

I would try to post Tuesday afternoons and reserve the rest of your game for the rest of the week. I understand sometimes there's not much time to play, then again if you don't have spare time for an RPG, you really shouldn't be putting yourself forward to play. Anyway, if you think you'll have...

Fenris, welcome back :)... I'm very happy to include you on the provision that you can post approximately once every two days, or at the very minimum once every three days. I have known marginal/fringe PCs whose players have posted once every 4 to 7 days in the past, but invariably the game...

Yes. Very true!

http://dndsrd.net/unearthedInjury.html Thanks Shay. I'm up for using this, actually. The Vitality/Wounds system looks well suited to Middle-Earth, however I'll require a nod from each player, otherwise we'll stick with the Hit Points and the group can source itself a healer NPC :) Before...

Hm, awkward. I'd sooner not split the group into loners and doing so does place rather a lot of emphasis on Baran while others twiddle their thumbs. I'm all for crunchy characterisation, but this is a group game and I'd sooner all solutions to the starting point model were designed to keep the...

Altogther now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw - sound advice on healing Binder_Fred. Let us know what you 'unearth' Shay.

Some of my cartography. This one is greatly reduced and is the key version, a bird's eye map of the city of Mormont created for RPG Tonight's living game Valterra. The actual map is 9000 pixels wide and used in the game's chat environment. And this is the Valterra map created for the same...

I'm quite keen to hear Fred_Binder's take on the starting point premise, so I'm holding fire for the moment on starting the game. It looks like he's a bit overwhelmed with work and has poor internet access this week, so anticipate a slight delay in the unfolding of things. I'll contact...
