War of the Ring Discussion Thread

I'd really like to join, I need to think of a character first though. I have a question about one of the rules. I know you said that anyone can be killed or seriously injured. I'm fine with seriously injured because it means more angst and they're not dead, so they can get better. But could we modify the rule that you don't kill someone off unless you talk it over with them first? That way people who want to keep the same character for a while don't have to worry about getting killed off.

[Acalewia]

You shouldn't have to worry about anyone but yourself killing your character off. The fate of your character(s) is entirely in your hands.

Does this mean that one may be in control of more than one character? (one that is not being used by another player, that is)

[Acalewia]

There's no limit to characters as long as you don't forget who your playing

[Huorn]

Is there a time frame as the when this RPG is going to start? I would like to to sink my roots into a good RPG.

[Pip]

I think Acalewia said she was gone start it in August

BTW I think I've thought of a character

Name:Revion
Gender: Male
Race: Elven
Age: 2450 (prolly around 17 maturity wise, if you're countin human years)
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Blue-green
Weapons: Bow and arrows and quarter staff
Histroy and Bio: Born in Mirkwood. Lost father and mother to seperate orc attacks when still rather young. Has wandered around since then trying to find a way to help the firstborn and others in the fight against evil. Most recently went to Lorien and befriended Raenambar Erebohtar. Is skilled in combat and herb-lore. Can also sing quite well.

Great entrance, Oakie

orthil, this takes place before Sauron's Fall. At this point the Hobbits are preparing for Bilbo's Birthday Party.

Btw has anyone seen or heard from TD?

The damp caves and the musty scent of dead, rotting corpses permeated throughout Drimincoul's nerves. He shivered and crept on, broken in heart. He heard clicking and a gurgling. He didn't dare look up, for it was right above him. How he knew he didn't discover for a while, but he could see
her in his chrome staff-tip. He looked up. Fangs and hairy body and many eyes met his, and he whimpered. A gigantic spider crept down and started speaking to him. "Let me...heal......Heal me......" she said. Drimincoul knew he should, for he would be inside her if he didn't. He used his staff and uttered a dark curse he'd heard Melkor use when he was alive, and when Drimincoul wasn't deadly and broken. The spider laughed a deep coughing, sputtering laugh. Drinicoul understood the speech, and he asked, "W-What now? Let me go!" The spider laughed again. "I don't think so. I haven't eaten for...quite some time...."
The spider lurched forward. Drimincoul held up his staff and it lit up red. "Stay back, beast, or so help me, I will..." he said. Shelob the Great bowed quickly. She hated anything that wasn't black or dark. "Y-yes," she uttered. "Give me your soul, and I swear on my rod that you will not die. I need you and you need me. I'll give you food...and elves." Drimincoul said.[OOC-Saruman's voice and the music of the Uruk-Hai (when they march at the beginning of TTT)] Shelob looked up. She sputtered out a deep black gushy goo onto his rod. She spun a quick web on his robes, and he smiled. "I am Drimincoul the Whi-.......Silver," he said in a deep voice. "I am Shelob the Last Child of Ungoliant the Great," came the reply. "Shelob, my lady, together, we feast."

very nice post JTB, but you might want to post it in the War of the Ring RPG thread, this is the discussion thread
it's here http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=13391

[orithil]

Name: dirith
Race: gondorian/ring wraith
Gender: male
Weapons:black long sword filled with the malice
History:Once a mighty lord of gondor but once he was given one of the nine rings he immediately fell to saurons side and forever hunts for it.

this ok

[Acalewia]

That's good, orthil. At least we have one Wraith

JTB, great post. Look forward to you posting it in play

[orithil]

Theres not match happening on the actual thread last i checked.

[Jiana_the_Strong]

at least not yet. We need more people to start posting.

[Huorn]

Orithil,

Please see as PM that I will be sending you shortly. I will have some pointers for you on this RPG.

[Acalewia]

Who did you attack orthil?

[Huorn]

This is getting completely confusing. IMHO the early stages of the RPG should be spent getting to know one another's characters. Not attacking each other. There is a lot of godmoding going on in this RPG which discourages my participation. It is just hard for me to role play in an RPG like this. I am more used to the kind where people control their own character, not have others move their characters for them.

Lets think of our characters like pieces on a game board. Wouldn't it be funner if each person just moved his own game piece? Just some food for thought.

[orithil]

your right, but i am about to get beaten any way i think

[Acalewia]

Great opening, Tunior

I hope what I did is ok. I god-modded but it was kinda an extra character.
