    Recruiting: The One Ring

    To be honest, I never looked at that thread - it said "Live Character Sheet", I assumed it was an Excel spreadsheet full of macros. I hate those. But now that I look at it - wow, this is pretty nice. (It should work in IE 9, which is a lot more HTML5 compliant than earlier versions. Can't...

    The Upcoming Adventures thread

    In case anyone's interested, I'm recruiting for a game of The One Ring, the new Tolkien RPG, over in the regular PbP forum. I'll be explaining the rules as we go, so you don't need to be familiar with the game!

    Recruiting: The One Ring

    I couldn't find any - I was looking for a quick start or something to try out with my RL gaming group before I bought it, but I couldn't find one so I ended up just buying the PDF. I plan to introduce the rules as they come up, so it shouldn't be too bad. There's this rpg.net thread about...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    You guys were a great group - thanks for the game! I really liked your characterizations and interactions. I'm starting up a Lord of the Rings game in this thread, and I'd like to invite you to be part of it! I'd love to DM for you guys again.

    Recruiting: The One Ring

    I just picked up The One Ring, the new Lord of the Rings RPG, and I think it'd be a good fit for PbP gaming. I'd like to try running the sample adventure, The Marsh Bell. No knowledge of the system needed - I can explain the rules as we go along. I'm thinking of starting with group character...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    "Mmm, maybe. More likely is that it was a single-use portal that's slowly closing as it has no continuing energy to sustain it. Did you see anything like an energy source down there? Or possibly destroy one?"

    The Upcoming Adventures thread

    Artemis' Pact just finished. In that adventure I established "Stargazer Hill", a mound in a clearing not far from Daunton where the night sky is easily visible. A tunnel leading into the hill and coming out in an Allarian silver mine just opened up. We're done with the tunnel for now, but I...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    "Oh, good! I was so worried about you that I didn't even think about claiming the site. Now that you're back safe, that's a good idea. You go ahead. As far as I knew there was nothing special about this hill, it was just a convenient place to view the stars. So I think you all should get...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    Really? (Checks charter.) Huh. They must have added that while I was away. Ok, I'll need to update these XP and treasure awards (the size of the already-huge cart of ore will increase to take in the extra treasure.) covaithe, should I be doubling the quest awards, too? EDIT: yes, according...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    Presumably you haul the cart full of silver ore back to town, and find an apothecary to buy the two umber hulk eyes you harvested. You net 100 gp each for the umber hulk eyes, and the cart contains ore worth 75000 pieces of silver! Karma played from Feb 15 to May 18 - 3 months Everyone else...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    One of the stars burns brighter than the others. It feels almost as if it's drawing nearer. Closer and closer, although it doesn't get any larger, until it's filling all of Artemis' consciousness. It feels like a huge eye staring at him from an inconceivable distance away. He feels naked...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    "Patron?" 7 Rabbit steps up to Artemis and peers into his eyes, switching his gaze from one eye to the other. "Yes, I can feel that a shadow has lifted from you... You seem a lot more open. Do something for me. Close your eyes and focus on the sky overhead. Feel it opening out into limitless...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    Predictably, as soon as Lilli says, "overreact," 7 Rabbit lets out a hysterical shriek and jumps three feet in the air, flinging the spider into the grass. It hisses at him, sounding almost like a cat, and scuttles over to nuzzle against Lilli's leg. Farmer Bob also shrieks, and dives off to...

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    A large spider peeks its head over Rabbit's shoulder. It's riding along in the folds of his cloak. Rabbit doesn't seem to have noticed it yet.

    [Adventure] Artemis' Pact

    There is a rustling in the bushes at the base of the hill. Twigs crackle as something pushes its way through the undergrowth. There is a grunting, piggish snuffling. Suddenly the thing pushes its way into view from the trees... and 7 Rabbit staggers free, falls to the ground, rolls over like...
