Back to Middle Earth discussion thread

ethuiliel · 01-24-2004, 08:33 PM

My friend, sicirus, and I were discussing a new RPG to make, and this is what we came up with. You can be either a person from here/now, a person from Middle-earth (not an actual character in LotR, but you can know them, and we probably will meet some of them), you can do both, but I would not recommend it if you want to keep from getting confused.

Jean and Keita’s parents, big fans of the Lord of the Rings, organized a Lord of the Rings convention on January 3, Tolkien’s birthday. They rented an old inn not far from their houses, in England. Then, they decorated it to look like the Prancing Pony. Amazingly enough, there was even a room on the first floor that had round windows. It turned out that it was at the site of the original Prancing Pony, renovated (I mean, the Third Age was a LONG time ago), but still very similar. One night, Keita notices a loose floorboard, and under it they find a red book, actually The Red Book. Somehow they are able to read Westron/the Common Tongue—whatever-you-want-to-call it—as well as they can read English, and they read about the journeys and adventured of Frodo and Bilbo as they really happened. They notice a similarity to the Lord of the Rings books. When they wake up the next morning, they look out the window and discover that they are no longer where they were when they went to sleep. They still have their own clothes, and everything else they had with them, but they are now in the real Prancing Pony, in Bree. It is January 4, 1450 (S.R.).

In the years 1451-1455 SR, Bill Ferny, his sons, and some other evil men came back to the Shire, destroyed it completely, and enslaved the hobbits. In 1454, knowing that the Shire would be destroyed, Sam’s daughter Goldilocks took the Red Book to Bree, so she could preserve a bit of hobbit history. On the way she met Radagast, the only wizard left in Middle-Earth. She told him about what was happening, and he enchanted the book to bring the reader back to the year 1450, the year before the Shire was invaded, hoping that they could prepare the hobbits, and prevent the invasion. The Red Book was finally hidden under a floorboard in the same room in the Prancing Pony where Frodo and his companions were supposed to sleep, where we discover it millennia later.

This is my character:

Name: Keita
Age: 16
female
Lives in: England = Britain
Hair: long, light brown
Eyes: blue
Height: tall
weight: medium
Is obsessed with the Lord of the Rings (esp. Faramir), books in general, horses, mythology, and fantasy.

I haven't started the RPG yet, but I probably will next week, unless we don't have enough people. Feel free to come up with a character and post a little about him/her here. I'll say here when I have started it.

Just because you're my sister doesn't mean that you can skip reading what I wrote. Look two posts up...

sirigorn · 01-28-2004, 08:41 AM

Yes ethy, I know. I did read it. Next week is pretty soon and I was referring to other people joining. A RPG with 3 people isn't very impressive.

Did you get the hint? I know some people are reading this and havn't replied.

sirigorn · 01-30-2004, 09:45 AM

Come on!
More people need to be part of our RPG for it to be a real RPG!! Three people isn't good enough!
Please??? It'll be fun!!

~siri

ethuiliel · 02-02-2004, 10:56 PM

I finally started it. It's called The Red Book of Bree. I hope it's good so far, but after this it should get better, or at least less descriptive, and more active.

Oh yeah, I changed my character's name. I'm now Keita.

Anyone who wants to join can, just introduce yourself here. You could still be someone who was in the room with us if you join soon, otherwise we'll have to find another way to fit you in. We'll need Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, and (Middle-earth) Men soon anyways.

Gulio, Strength of Many · 02-02-2004, 10:58 PM

I shall join! And I shall be Tel. Look in Dark years if you want a desc. I gotta goseeyoulaterbyebye!

ethuiliel · 02-03-2004, 09:44 AM

Welcome, welcome!!

Will you meet us when we arrive in Bree, or will it be somewhere else?

sirigorn · 02-03-2004, 10:29 AM

Welcome, one and all to the great B2ME discussion thread!!!

Gulio, I think we're going to the Shire first to kinda fix it up. I dunno. But anyway, if you're a sea-elf it might take a while for you to get involved, unless you are for some strange reason in Bree, which is way inland. So yeah. Try to find a way for us to fit you in, okay?
Oh, and I am eternally grateful to you for joining our RPG, I just hope more people will join soon. *Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge*

Lalaith_Elf · 02-07-2004, 11:35 AM
