Discussion thread for Truly LOST In Middle Earth

Grey_Wolf · 10-17-2005, 04:57 AM

I thought it a good thing to have a discussion thread for suggestions, ideas and comments for this new and excellent RPG.

Go ahead.

OCC: Correct. We were suddenly FOUND here in ME. So continue along the lines you've just posted.

what's it all about?

Grey_Wolf · 10-17-2005, 09:32 AM

If you'll read the intro-post in the RPG you'll found out.

here it is:

On an island in a middle of a lake somewhere in Middle Earth a gathering of people has survived after a severe storm shipwrecked their ship onto the terribly sharp cliffs surrounding the Island.

thanks, but i meant rpg's in general... is there a grand theme, or is it just freeform?

inquiring minds want to know

Well, the theme is a parody of LOST with the usual CAST in the RPG posted list. Check it out. You've got a role.

I just started in my first one a month ago - dive in! This one would be fun with you! It looks like this one is pretty much freeform.

***RÃan*** · 10-17-2005, 10:43 AM

Hey GW - could you change mine to Experienced Mature (but sometimes slightly psychotic) Motherly Woman? I need a little more leeway for my character ...

Change done.

Willow Oran · 10-17-2005, 12:12 PM

I feel I shoul join in, since I have a character, but frankly I have no clue what said character is like. What on earth is meant by 'Highly Pregnant'?
Does this woman have a husband? Who? What else do I need to know about her?

This is a parody of 'Lost' yes? I've never seen the show beyond the first episode so I have absolutely nothing to go on here. Enlighten me and I will join.

She isn't married! She was left high and dry by and no good bum of a man. Highly pregnant means almost ready to give birth. And since that the case she doesn't do all that much until the child is born but wallow around in the company of The Young Adventurous Man

The last sane person · 10-17-2005, 04:27 PM

Oh my...I havent seen the show either, but I will post in a minute or so, I am glad we started this...

***RÃan*** · 10-17-2005, 04:30 PM

I haven't ever seen the show, so I hope that doesn't matter ....

thanks for the change, GW!

The last sane person · 10-17-2005, 04:32 PM

Wait up, I think our characters actually have names, yes? Step-Brother To Head-Strong Young Woman is quite a whopper to type out each time... If so, next to the cast list, can we post the names we make for our characters?

If so, I'm calling him Todd.

brownjenkins · 10-17-2005, 04:40 PM

i'm not sure i can manage the paradox of being a Former Iraqi Republican Guard and Reliable

how about a troll named Glug who is the sole native inhabitant of said island and isn't particularly happy with his new guests?

Pytt · 10-17-2005, 04:41 PM

The Physics Teachers name is Gregor, if it works that way.

And I didn't really join this, but I've thought about joining a RPG for some time, so why not?

You're welcome.

Name insertion in the Cast has begun.

Ok, you can be Native Troll Named Glug Who Dislikes the New Arrivals.

Grey_Wolf · 10-17-2005, 04:56 PM

The Korean Couple I decided was a bit tough for BB so he's gonna be the Former Republican Guard/All-around Good Guy instead.

So who wants be the Couple?

Butterbeer · 10-17-2005, 04:58 PM

well, i'd love to be (and thats a much better character thanks ... but i fear - though i would love to - i fear to play lest it inadvertantly spoils my enjoyment of it ... ain't seen nearly a third of it yet ....)

good move to open a discussion thread though Sir grey wolf ...

this could be a really good rpg!

best BB

edit: p.s. and i love your recruitment techniques!

truly inspiring!

EDIT 2: if someone who has another character wants to shadow-play him for me till i seen the whole series that'd be cool ... i'd love to be able to join at that point!
