Decipher's Lord of the Rings RPG: A Campaign in the Making
Hullo there, good folk of the Entmoot! I'm looking for all the information and aid I can get in crafting a masterful plot for a game run I'm starting up soon, and I knew that, alongside a few other sites, I'd have to come here for the help I need. So, before I get to asking questions, how's about I give some details first, hm? Sound good? Good. There's no real need for me to tell the epic tale I envision at length, so I'll just use sum it up as best I can. Queue bullets!
As a footnote, about the Evil Dwarves and Men... in the case of the Men, I was thinking along the lines of wild men or these Black Numenorians, which I know next to nothing about but hear such good things about. And, in the case of Dwarves, I was using pieces of information from what Tolkien gave, as well as stuff from the "Dwarves of Middle-Earth" source book for the game, and tid-bits of info and inspiration from the Lord of the Rings Online game that I love so much. I expect some looks. I know, as I said I'm no purist, I'm disgusting and vile. I even love the movies. ANYWAYS! Dwarves! In the Lord of the Rings Online there is a character named Skorgrim Dourhand who led a clan of exiled Dwarves from the ruins of the Blue Mountains. Because of their ancestral home, the Blue Mountains area, their hatred of Elves, and their behavior shown in the game, I have linked them with Uri's Folk, who hale from that region, who lost their home (Nogrod, in this case), and who also have an old dispute with Elves and a knack for corrupt and evil tendencies. Need some opinions on that. And, unrelated, I think Gothmog should've been (in the movies)/was (in the books) a Ringwraith. Would it be a sin to make that so in this run? I am, like, obsessed with seeing the names of all the Ringwraiths brought to light. Thanks in advance for all comments and help on the subject. It is all much appreciated. I shall continue to turn to this thread for guidance, rest assured, so expect me to be back. Hm... that's all for now, though, I guess... but before I go, one last thing. This run is going to be online. I'm either doing it over AIM or Proboards, both of which I am accustomed to and know have dice rollers available for them. So! If someone on here would like to take part in this, either out of a love for Lord of the Rings, this game, me, or some combination thereof, feel free to mention it in a post or in a PM. Pen and paper RPG experience preferred. RP experience a must. Experience with this game not expected, but welcomed with lots of appreciation and amazement. That is all. Thanks again. |

Welcome to the Entmoot. Since we have an RPG-forum, I am moving this thread there.
