    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell

    Part 1: Where Noisome Waters Flow The Long Lake stretches away southward to merge into the horizon, grey against a grey sky. A few buildings cluster on the shore near the mouth of the rushing river which flows down from Dale and the Lonely Mountain to the north, but most of the light and music...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Ok, so we have Orin and Borin are - brothers? Cousins? Kurin Stoneshield is another dwarf living in/around the Lonely Mountain who doesn't know them closely, although perhaps by sight or by reputation. Hobnob and Riggins are business partners exporting pipeweed to (that's an awesome hook...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    I just found out you can click on "Broken Spells" and it will give you an option to "Set Comment" - you can type "Opening and Shutting" there and it'll be shown as So, looks like everybody's good except fireinthedust needs to pick equipment - one more step is the creation of your Fellowship...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Work unexpectedly picked up for me this week, too - I've pretty much been checking every second day or so.

    Works fine for me. Are you sure you copied all of it?

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Right, it's just fan-made, so although it's slick it doesn't support every option. (It calculates your starting Fatigue wrong, for another example.) The text of Broken Spells says, "You know one of the following spells:" but the sheet doesn't support virtues with more than one sub-option. You...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    I've been playing too much 4E, where everyone's got their combat role. :) If you're fine with him hiding all combat anyway (that neat vanishing trick sure will help with that!) then it doesn't really matter whether he uses a bow or not...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    I notice all 3 Slayers took Orc-Lore. Don't you want to spread the lore around a little bit? Also both Elves took Wood-Elf Magic, which means you must start with the same spell. No problem with that if you think it'll be useful to you, but you might want a little more variety? We have an...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Ok, so that means you have Fatigue 20, Armour 4d, Headgear +1, Parry 6, Shield 0, Damage 6, Ranged 6. Here's your updated character: {"name":"Kurin...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    So far just here. I think we're supposed to make a thread in Rogues Gallery as well. You automatically have one weapon of every time you have a skill for - if you have the (bows) cultural skill, what I would do is click on the empty line below Weapon Skills and add a single weapon skill for...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Ok, I've audited the characters that have been posted. (I also put them into the online character sheet myself, and did "save as code" so that we can get a One True Version of each that we could each load. I tried setting up the "Online Character Server" but I couldn't get it to work.) Some...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    I'm going out of town for two days - when I'm back I'll take stock and see if we're still waiting for any last character updates before we start. Er. I mean, when I get back I'll explain about Fellowship, and THEN we'll start.

    Recruiting: The One Ring

    I'm going out of town for two days - when I'm back I'll take stock and see if we're still waiting for any last character updates before we start. Er. I mean, when I get back I'll explain about Fellowship, and THEN we'll start. EDIT: what the hell? How'd I end up in the wrong thread?

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    You may have had a pony when you arrived in Lake-town, but alas, it sickened and died. Or merely was lamed. The long journey from the Shire was too much for it... Yes, you can retheme any of the weapons to anything reasonable. With 7 players, I'm already having to increase the encounter...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Having more dwarves or hobbits are fine, it just means it's a largwr family or whatever. Also, I just figured out a way to integrate a lone Warder, so if you don't want to take an elf it won't screw anything up for me.

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Lake-town, at the tip of the Long Lake, just south of the Lonely Mountain. Some thoughts: if you're an Elf, you could be an envoy sent by King Thranduil to carry a message to Lake-town. Iron Sky's Authiel could be escorrting you. (That would be a more convenient hook to get elves into the group...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    Cool beans! fireinthedust, since we haven't heard back from treex, looks like you're in, so I'll need a character from you, too. The rest of you, are you happy with your chars or still making mechanical changes? After all the chars are finalized, we have one more thing to do, which is to work...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    I'd prefer that. Half the fun is finding out you don't have any good scouts and have to make do without! The way the rules are written, you actually just have one set of clothing that happens to weigh twice as much in the winter. :) It's assumed that you re-equip yourself with the right...

    [The One Ring] The Marsh Bell: Character Creation

    So it does. I missed that. Well, it works just like any other trait - I explained those in this post. You don't have the "small" trait unless you take that Virtue (or some other option that specifically says "you have the small trait"). The Traits chapter does have descriptions of all the...
