    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    15gp per bottle would be a shrewd market value.

    Ulfang eh? Hehe. Automatic Language: Westron Bonus Language: East Rhovanion/Easterling (this is broad mixture of an ancient tongue spoken by the northerly Lossoth people and the Black Speech of Morgoth, hence the bonus bonus language) Bonus Bonus Language: Black Speech The Chain shirt: in...

    [OOC] Citadel of the Iron Crown starting point discussion

    RUMOURS (heard by any or all in the logging camp and the region thereabouts, and to be used as players see fit). - Most know of The Brown Man who has lived in the south since our home was known as Greenwood and famed as a land of Elves. Long have his footsteps been observed crossing the plains...

    Yuurs, herbal tonics and potions will probably be in order, though I'm certainly not going to leave them lying around. Fenris may reappear, otherwise Binder_Fred's character has some healing tendencies, though his are more traditional than magical. If it's a concern (and personally, I think...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Could all players who've thus far had characters approved start thinking about finishing them up and posting them as completed character sheets. Include backgrounds, family trees (where applicable or has a point, ie if you want to be Fu, son of Bar, I'd like to know who Bar is), appearance and...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    Oh heckbum, it was late last night and wasn't making myself very clear. Sorry. HPs: As per DMG for players starting at level 2, at second level, you get maximum HPs (in Aerec's case, 12hps) then roll HD for the second level (which I wrote HD x 2, but I realise now how confusing that reads...

    Would you allow this paladin in your game? (new fiction added 11/11/08)

    Sheez, what a long thread. Sorry, didn't even get past page 1. Anyway, Cedric seems to be doing for the paladin cliche what Dexter is doing for the modern psycopath, though I must admit I like Dexter better, he's less grumpy and cleaner :) Ha. You should have that as your siggy.

    I thought you looked smaller, must be all that jogging :) Welcome back Binder, any attendance you can manage is very much appreciated!

    Reinventing fantasy cliches

    Something I just thought of last night during a game session. Alignment - isn't that a cliche? Or is it that alignment perpetuates cliches. For example: Dexter, breaking the psychopathic preconception cliches. What is he? Chaotic Evil? Lawful Evil? Evil... Good? Could you have a Dexter...

    Yes, Quenya is the original language of the Elves, but doesn't predate everything. Valarin was the original tongue of the Valar but the Elves who dwelled in Valinor couldn't understand it and some sources suggest they disliked the language, probably because many of the words were extraordinarily...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    I would suggest Quenya. Not spoken in Third Age Middle-Earth as a viable dialect, it is to the Elves of our period what Latin is to modern day British scholars (who like that sort of thing). As an extra language its ideal, because it isn't really a spoken language, but may crop up in ancient...

    Thanks Renau1g, I'll try to give it a looksee tonight, but right now it's looking more likely tommorrow. As we're progressing nicely with our character creations, I've created a new thread to discuss the starting location and get the ball rolling in that direction. The thread's here...

    [OOC] Citadel of the Iron Crown starting point discussion

    This is the starting point discussion and OOC spot for the Eve of Mirkwood campaign, which I'm renaming Citadel of the Iron Crown. This isn't a recruitment thread. We have all the players we need right now and at this point are nearing completion on the character creation process (which is here...

    Necro_Kinder... Hm. This is an interesting class, especially the Knight's Challenge and Knight's Code, I've never come across it before. Thanks for the Crystalkeep link Shayuri, or I'd still be completely in the dark :) Feel free to roll your own HPs, Necro_Kinder (that goes for everyone...

    Renau1g- ironically your character is one of the ones I've been considering for a starting gold decrease due to his being a refugee and unlikely to carry 900 gp across dangerous territory and get away with the money, let alone his life. If we assume he's been in the logging camp for a period...

    Favoured class. I'm happy to switch Elf favoured class to Ranger. Wizard is certainly inappropriate. I believe we have a potential Elf Druid in the making with Fenris, but ranger seems more fitting.

    Redclaw... Languages: Rohirric and bonus language is Westron, which he speaks well. Rohirric is actually rendered in LotR as archaic Old English, but is in fact a language in its own right and when Aeric is with his father or other members of the Eotheod tribes he may speak this language...

    Eve of Mirkwood [Full]

    I guessed as much (not many reusable grenades around) ;) The issue is twofold and relates to the existing artefacts/magic of Middle-Earth and to the mutifold correlations between light/fire based magic and the spiritual history of light, flame and the Valar. For example, the seemingly low-magic...

    Now you're just taking the thread in a political direction. Like flick-axes?
