Just found out that Dechiper is doing the LOTR rpg.

They are even doing an INTRO game for those new to role-playing.

Check out their site and click under middle earth.

They even have a board where you can talk to the game designers NOW.

ANYWAY, the point of this is: as you can tell from my online moniker what I wish to play; however, there is no precedent for it in Tolkien's work.

I've a couple of ways out of it below, but I would like input from other minds as well, be it a negative, positive, or you own ways out of it.

The point is not to RADIACLLY alter Tolkien's world to make my character fit. I really dislike it when people wanna play people like Glorfindel's brother. Wouldn't it be a little bit more realistic to just play a blonde Noldo warrior.

These are the non-chessey ones of some of the ideas I've thought of.

1) I BELIEVE that it stated somewhere that the AVARI were a many splintered group. If that is the case I could just be a very dark skinned avari

Question are Silvan and Avari the same?

2) Perhaps after the WOTR ,with their forces weakened, Sauron's lackeys were overthrown by the "good guys" in the south. And perhaps someone in the ambassdor's party from the south met with one of the Elves Legolas brought down from Mirkwood to Ithellinn and had a mulatto 1/2 elf.

After those two ideas I get a little stumped and the others things I think of get a tad chessey for my taste.

So I ask my fellow entmooters for some insight that I may be lacking.

thanks
