No, sorry. I'd rather you didn't write anyone else's characters.

Butterbeer · 09-28-2005, 07:38 PM

oh, ok.

but i meant 'write them in' not write their characters.

oh well i guess i await some actual rpg time to pass then.

*puts herself behind RPG and royally kicks it in the but*

Birthdays are no excuse!

Butterbeer · 10-06-2005, 05:44 PM

oops, sorry did'nt see you there! hope my kick didn't bump you too?

so, can't post anything for anyone else, can't wake up till at least 12 RPG hrs have passed ... (could be looking at Christmas day?

)

me thumbs are going purple ...

*looks behind himself in case there are any more kicks a-coming*
(now why am i thinking of TD???)

c'mon older and wiser Tessar

, stop eating all that cake and start a tippety-tapping!

Telcontar_Dunedain · 10-07-2005, 11:41 AM

Now why would you look at me?

*Pushes BB over a bent down Earniel behind him*

***Earniel*** · 10-07-2005, 04:25 PM

Oi! That's no way to treat a woman!

It's not because you're a bad-mannered Nazgul in another RPG that you don't have to show manners here.

Frankly, I'm a bit at a loss what to post in the game thread. It seems to be stalling. No inspiration.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 10-07-2005, 05:40 PM

Ditto. Maybe our long awaited post from out beloved GM will give us some inspiration.

Curubethion · 10-10-2005, 08:58 PM

I'd join in if it weren't already at 7 pages....

Butterbeer · 10-11-2005, 03:51 AM

well, curub, you have plenty of time to read it up ... while we all wait for godot ... er i mean tessar!

Curubethion · 10-11-2005, 09:31 PM

Name: Haetar

Description: A man, tall, who always is cloaked like a ranger. His weapon is a "mithstaf"; a lethal staff made of mithril and pointed at the ends. He also carries several throwing-daggers, and a bow. He has brown hair and grey eyes.

Personality: He is skilled in the ways of the wilds, and this gives him an inherent pride. He will not often humble himself unless he feels it is always needed. He is also very intense, often being upset if he fails.

History: Not much is known about him, but he is rumored to have spent time among the Dunlendings and Southern countries. Some think he is a ranger, but he is more like a wanderer. His past is not entirely heroic...

Butterbeer · 10-17-2005, 05:48 AM

Welcome Curubethion!

and welcome to Haetar too.

Interesting character...

Here take a seat, while we await tessar.

best BB

Curubethion · 10-17-2005, 09:53 PM

Hopefully Earniel won't think I'm copying off her character's weapon...
Is Tessar still doing this? HELLO TESSAR CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Now, tell me if I have the "fellowship" straight: Harn, Lanor (state of health: doubtful), Fletch (K-O'd), Beryn, and Pansy. Is that everyone?

It's similar but I doubt people in Middle-earth get cranky for somebody having a similar weapon.

Besides, yours has pointy ends on it, right? Beryn will no doubt fight differently with hers, so no worries.

I'm sure he is, but our fearless leader seems to be tied up with school work for the moment. He'll be back when he has the time. It's just one of those slow moments in the RPG.

No, there's a lot of other characters too, but the people playing them lost interest and left. You can see them all entering the game in the beginning. The characters are still here but I've been only using Pansy's name so far because that's about the only name of the other characters that I could remember when I was writing game posts.

Oh, and you forgot Tessar's Elf: Kalin, and the old wounded man Eaol.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 10-18-2005, 11:40 AM

And Anfal. I'm still here with interest!

Butterbeer · 10-18-2005, 04:33 PM

maybe Earniel could pm Tessar and seek permission for us to continue along meantime?

Big C: fletch is in a coma ... more than willing to re-surface but he just needs a bit of rpg real-time to pass first ...

TD: fancy them forgetting Anfal!

it's not like there are that many "active" rpg-ers sitting around nursing their ailing thumbs!

We want Tessar! We want Tessar!

Curubethion · 10-20-2005, 08:22 PM

Big C...hmm...

I like the PM idea, that sounds good. I'd volunteer to move the plot along but I'm not on often enough for that anymore...

***Tessar*** · 10-21-2005, 02:32 AM

School work takes up -way- too much time these days.

I -am- making a slow return to some level of normality though, and I pinky-swear that this weekend I will make another plot-moving post. Thank you all for being so patient with me and for sticking with the RPG. I'm sure you'll all kill me, but I'm actually planning to start another one when this RPG ends if I can get back on top of my school stuff, etc.

Welcome, also, to Curubethion!

***Earniel*** · 10-21-2005, 03:51 AM

I won't kill you because I know, in order to start the next RPG, you have finish this one first. So you have no option but to keep posting and moving it along.

Patiently awaiting your come-back this weekend, oh fearless leader.

(But if that post isn't posted this weekend, it's going to be so fearless anymore...

)

Curubethion · 10-22-2005, 11:01 PM

About that new RPG...you're welcome to have a hand in my next planned RPG, 'cause I might not be getting on enough to be a good RPG leader. It's going to be something about Moria...

Eagerly awaiting the further adventures of Harn and Co....

Butterbeer · 10-23-2005, 08:14 AM

Oh i love that Big C!

... concerned that you may not be on too much you join the gates of mirkwood!

Tessar is truly inspiring, ain't he?

still, you're in the right rpg here, if you cannot get on too much!

Tis past one pm on Sunday ... the knives are sharpening for our "fearless' leader ... will he truly be fearless when attacked down some dark moonlit alley by ghostly wraith-like giant thumbs (smelling oddly of peaches

... )

... we can but wait and see ... *sigh*

heh, who brought the picnic? Would you like a cucumber sandwich earniel, TD or Curub?

*scratches another day marker out of the fallen log with his knife*
