OOC for Arador's LotR Game

[arador359]

I'm happy to do it!

Give me a couple of days to come up with more specifics, but I'm thinking about a late 3rd age/early 4th age campaign set in the region that was formerly Arnor. Possibly at the end of the war of the ring. Don't hold me to the time frame yet, but I'm pretty sure of the location.

I'm open to pretty much any character as long as the background makes sense and we follow same standards for creating them.

By the way, where do we post?

1 - WOO HOO!!

2 - No problem. Arnor is near to hobbits, elves and dwarves, as well as giving both Middle Men and Dunedain reasons to be there.

3 - We could use the "pick method" (p. 46) for stat generation to give us all an equal foundation. I assume we'd all start at 0 advancements?

4 - Well, we can use this thread for out of character and character generation posts, and you can start a new thread in this forum for actual in character action.

...I volunteered to create some characters for a few people who don't have the book, so I'll need some lead time once they've posted character concepts. They'll give the concept, I'll just do the number-crunching. Unless, of course, you'd rather do it.

YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

interesting question.
It would IMO be most cool and intewresting to have it run in the Fantasy Forum

In here, it would be one of dozens of games (yet still the only LotR game).
There, it would probably be peeked in on some people who normally wouldn't see it in this getting-to-be-scroll forum.

That's a very good good idea, reaper. If the Mods would be cool with it, I think it'd be worth doing.

EDIT: I just asked over in Meta here.

The only thing I ask is that we don't end up with 6 elves.

As far as the the pick method is concerned, let me review it but I think it will work fine. For the character creation for players without the book, I have no problem with you doing the number crunching, but I can also do some or all of it.

I'l do some thinking and, hopefully, will have a concept finalized by the weekend.

By the way, I won't usually be up this late. I'm on vacation until Monday.

1 - Have no fear - one of the other's (rangerjohn) was interested in a warrior/ranger-to-be, and I plan on a Dunedain Noble, maybe aiming at becoming a Captain, though I neeed to review the book a bit before being positive about that.

2 - Cool for the pick method, and it would probably be easiest on us to split up creating the PCs for those without the book. That way, we're ready to play faster.

3 - Awesome!!

4 - Enjoy the vacation! I'm on winter break myself.

 

[rangerjohn]

Yes, just to make that clear... That was a Dunedan Ranger (warrior) I was interested in. We'll leave the elves and Istari to someone else.

 

[rangerjohn]

Wally, you consider 7:00 a.m. late? That is about the pst that you message was stamped. Or are you not in Seattle Wa?

 

[rangerjohn]

Oops... didn't realize each message had two time stamps. It looked like Gary and I were posting relatively close together for a moment.

I don't mind playing whatever the party needs. I was thinking about playing a Barbarian Dunlending, unless something else is needed.
