Any intrest in an adventure RPG? (LLL discussion part I) - Page 2

Acalewia · 08-14-2007, 10:27 AM

War of the Ring is acually still looking for people to play Fellowship members and you can still pop in with a character of your own making.

Nuelbar · 08-17-2007, 08:55 PM

Would you like me to post a character profile now or later?

***Earniel*** · 08-18-2007, 05:46 AM

That's up to you, but we won't be starting just yet.

The Gaffer · 09-04-2007, 12:27 PM

Any idea when? (No rush)

***Earniel*** · 09-04-2007, 01:35 PM

I've been unexpectedly swamped with work, well, that is, the work was not unexpected, but the amount and duration was. So to stay on the safe side I'm thinking last week of september at the earliest for a decent start. Will that work for everybody?

Nuelbar · 09-28-2007, 04:06 PM

Yeeeessssss! I am so ready!

me9996 · 09-28-2007, 05:03 PM

I have no problems with that timeframe

(Looks at clock in corner of computer screen)

Acalewia · 09-29-2007, 12:19 PM

Great with me. I might start being swamped at work starting late November, but I'll be on as much as I can. Retail sucks during the Holidays

***Earniel*** · 09-29-2007, 06:48 PM

Yes, I'm sorry for my terrible delaying, you can read in the venting thread why. But now that's out of the way, we'll get this thing on the road.

The opening post just needs a bit pulling together, and will be posted somewhere next week.

Nautipus · 10-03-2007, 12:38 PM

I'd like to join if that's okay, but I'd have to join late because I'll be away from my computer from October 11-16. Is that okay?

Ingwe · 10-03-2007, 09:56 PM

I would like to join in as well. The ideas of this RPG sound very interesting. I know I've not posted much here yet and I'm still sort of a "newbie" but this is something that looks like it would definitely work well.

Willow Oran · 10-06-2007, 05:56 PM

Naw. Threads in this forum just take long naps.

I may or may not join in. Am waiting for it to start first.

*goes back to lurking*

Ingwe · 10-07-2007, 02:04 AM

I guess it's like that in a lot of places. Yeah my site is pretty much like that, except to a larger extent LoL.

I was kinda messed up a couple of days ago and I should probably edit my last post because it's kinda not happy.

***Earniel*** · 10-07-2007, 06:51 PM

There, I have posted the opening post (after turning half my desk upside down to find my notes

) in the thread Long Lost Leaves.

You may now post your character's profile here, give us a bit of info on your character's personality, looks and skill. Doesn't have to be long or detailed, just a basic idea will do. As I said earlier your characters do not have to be expert warriors, a minimum of self-defense will do. Best not to over-power them. All races are allowed, as long as the characters stay plausible. One or two Ents would definitely be nice. Whatever history you want your character to have had with Gandalf is entirely up to you. You may also play more than one character if you think you can handle it.

I will take care of Radagast and an Ent if no one chooses to play one.

If you don't have a clue how to start, I'd suggest a post in which your character either receives Gandalf's letter or arrives at Rhosgobel.

I don't think that will be much of a problem. It will take a while to round everybody up anyway. Welcome.

Welcome to the team too.

orithil · 10-08-2007, 02:38 AM

Game sounds fun

but i was just wondering what kind of things are we allowed to play apart from ents and warriors and such would we be able to play sorcerers, necromancers etc?

me9996 · 10-08-2007, 11:52 AM

So I'd put my character's profile here?

Okay... (Or maybe "Oaky"?

)

Name: Ferrin

Gender and speases: Male, presumably a very old human.

More stuff: Ferrin is an ancheint warrior who has been liveing in the misty mountens as a hermet for longer than most remember.

While liveing as a hermet has gained him some magical power he still (Distpite old age) prefers to fight with a two-handed sword of unknown material.
And he's very good at it!

Acalewia · 10-08-2007, 12:15 PM

Name: Aelfwine

Race: Human

Age: 18

Appearance: Aelfwine has long blond har that reaches her mid back. She is usually in split skits to making riding easier. She wears her quiver on her back

Weapons: a belt knife, bow and quiver and her hands and wit

History: Aelfwine is the daughter if a Rider of Rohan. Her mother died giving birth to her youngest brother, leaving her father to raise three children. Aelfwine was forced to grow up faster then she was intended, helping her father with her brother and sister. She learned the bow but used it mostly for hunting. On one of her hunting trips, she met Gandalf. Gandalf soon became her friend. He came often to visit Theoden and he usually took time to visit her. The last time she saw him, he warned Aelfwine of the events to come, telling her to flee to Helm's Deep and to not hestitate. Soon after her father was called to ride with the King's son. Her father was killed trying to protect him. When the Wild Men attacked her village, she fled with her siblings to Helm's Deep as she was told by Gandalf. She was there for some time before the King himself arrived. There she met Aragon. She was surprised that he was a good friend of Gandalf. From him, Aelfwine learned Gandalf would join them. The call soon came for every able bodied man to fight. Aelfwine volenteered to be an archer, but Theoden refused.

In the years since the battle of Helm's Deep and the end of the War of the Ring, Aelfwine has only seen Gandalf twice.

The last sane person · 10-08-2007, 12:29 PM

Woot, it started! I have to think on a character bio, but i'll hop in soon enough.

Considering that there were only an established limited number of wizards and seen as necromancers would be considered enemies, I would prefer the characters to be limited in magic, nothing beyond the skill of their race, or only possessing a few very specific tricks. There are plenty of races available with unique or special skills. But if you absolutely insist to play some magical non-canon character, I suppose we can work it out, but my personal preference is different.

A not very rohirric sounding name, it also happens to be Radagast's own old name.

So maybe something different? Although it could provide some entertainment. "Aiwendil, nice name," said Radagast, "although it sounds oddly familiar..."
