The Pentagrid Net Discussion

[Rand]

Can I join?

[Lief Erikson]

If you like. One thing you should note though as you join in is that we frequently use the same characters in different RPGs. My characters Erenfor and Slythre have both carried on through more than one RPG, so when you introduce a character, you'd best think about him or her. For that character might be entering into another adventure later on.

Sorry to say I´ve been away for such a long time, for the same reason as Mathron apparantly... So I see all my characters are in the Pentagrid Tower good... Turion is a man yes, he is a ranger, and was actually looking for Aragorn as he met BÃ*renath at the Inn...
Seems like the fight is almost over to me and I am a little confused when it comes to my characters and what I should write next... hmm... guess this fighting gives a harder typing skill then the usual typings... ah, well... I shall do my best

Is there going to be a conclusion post by each once again, or is the thing already concluded?

As it comes to an end, I'd like to say that as always, it was a fantastic RPG and I was glad to be a part of it.

[Mathron]

I will try and have a finishing post for myself, and let Lief have the honor of the final conclusion, since this one was his.

Edit:

It's all yours, Lief! Not sure if any others wanted to post finalizing stuff before you go, though.

[Arat-Falathion]

Yes, its been a great RPG!!

I shall post my final post right away!

[Lief Erikson]

Thank you all for doing this RPG with me, and I'm very glad it has worked out so well. We'll probably want to discuss another one soon, but personally I don't think I'm quite ready to commit for the next just yet. I need a little time lapse first, in which I can think, plan, and of course, combat the onflowing stream of school work . . .

If there are any ideas about a future one though, go ahead and post it .

[Mathron]

Yeah, it has certainly gone well. I'll probably hop in another if it starts up. If creative merit strikes me I may post my own ideas. I've had a great time with this one, and hope others will still be around should another begin.

I have locked the Pentagrid Net thread. If anyone that didn't get the chance would like to post an ending, just let me know, and I will open it back up.

[Tessar]

Sorry I wasn't involved much.

I would love to try another one though.

Again, sorry.

[Lief Erikson]

As always, you're very welcome to join into the next RPG. You might even be able to convince me to give you your character back for the next one; I was really enjoying playing him , .

[Mathron]

I think Tessar was one of the characters that was most interesting to see the change from the past to the present.

If we have another one, I may have to come up with some new characters - oh no! ~grin~ I think Mal and Harnauro are done for now, though I may do a private story to finish their journeys in Middle Earth.

Give him back or I'll knock your socks off with.... Oh... I don't have anyone anymore....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! !!!

Please?....



Actualy I might just start another magic elf and you can keep him. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Or better yet. An elf who is keeping his magic hidden. That would be fun.

[Tessar]

Actualy if you really want Tessar you can have him. You make him much more interesting than I did (But that could just be my horreble wrating skeels ). And besides, I mud so much that I'm sure to keep having him throw fireballs or blasting SOMETHING into nothingness...

I deff think that another char is in order *nod self*.

[Lief Erikson]

No, thanks for the offer, that was very generous, but of course he's your character.

Well, Mathron, if you don't want to play Harnauro and Malagar again then the next RPG is really very open. Kind of like when we did Fangorn Forest all that time ago. I still kind of wish that I had a saved copy of The Great Quest, simply so that I could have a chronological copy of Vardor's demise. But, if wishes were wings . . .

I think our next RPG should probably be something rather new and different, then. What I'd kind of prefer is a little more plot organization and character development and a little less slashing down orcs . For an RPG to be interesting, it doesn't have to have a foe that you can counter blade for blade at every turn. Of course, if we have a bunch of new people playing, then they're not likely to understand that. I don't know what it should be . . .

Is everyone certain in their minds that it has to be in Middle Earth?

[Selwythe]

It is possible to not be in Middle-Earth? Valinor is too boring in its holy peace, if that's what you're thinking

Do any of you belong to a more specialised LotR or WoT RPG website/organisation? (some people call it a Tower.) Don't worry, I'm not planning to join any of yours but I'm just wondering if any of you are in the same ones as me.

[Lief Erikson]

No, I don't belong to any of those websites. As a matter of a fact, Pentagrid Net was the only RPG that I was doing, and now I'm not working on any.

Also no to your question of whether I was thinking Valinor. I was thinking more along the lines of a world that we invent, which is totally outside of Tolkien's work. A rather radical question, I admit, and I don't know quite how I feel about it myself, but I'm wondering if any of the rest of you are willing to consider it?

And please don't take thirty days before responding .

[Mathron]

My last post seems to have not existed. Hmmph.

Anyway, to some extent I think it would be best to try and remain in middle earth since this is a Tolkien board - and there are so many different ages it isn't that hard to find new settings - but I don't think that is a guaranteed rule. What sort of place were you thinking?
Meanwhile, the Great Quest is still in the archives (here

[Lief Erikson]

Thanks for the link .

I actually didn't have any real idea of what the world would be like in mind, that would have been open to discussion. I'm simply throwing the idea out there for you people to discuss, or reject. I'm fine with staying to Tolkien's world, it's only that lately I was feeling a little bit limited. Particularly during the battle between Tessar and the Nazgul; Tolkien doesn't develop his spirit realm very fully and I don't feel I have any right to do it for him. A world that we all invent the rules to could prove interesting, but I'm fine with going along with another one of the other.

[Tessar]

Well... My sister (Betsy/Moondancer) writes stories all the time. She has few worlds I could prolly get her to let us use if you guys are interested in it.

They are sort of non-magic worlds unless you are a unicorn (which I have always wanted to be, I have a unicorn craze) or a dragon/dragonman (evil). And there are people who are descended form elves, sailor types, and all sorts of kewl stuff.

Also another plot about that city that sank, can't spell it... Atlantice or some such spelling.

Dono, whatever yalls want. *thinks that the name Tessar would be a great name for a unicorn!!!*

*EDITED*

Was just reading my old posts on Tessar and came on my old desc of him... Oh the pain!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
im new hear can i pleassssssss join in?

if I can than id like to be a

Elf

Name:tessar twelveblade

Age:12 in human years

skilles: carismatic but a bit imature and dosent always stop to think things thrugh (no weght! that sounds to mutch like me! AAAAAAAAA!),knows a lot about healing ,has a dagger but thats all for blades but ok with a staff good shot with bow, has some magic power like fire arows and water arows , is extremly agile and flexibul, sort of strong but not very (hes only 12 you know), loves star gazing
and is a good singer. ok im done now

history: was traviling with parents who were both magishan elfs but we were ambushed during the night and my parents were killed i got away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I mean I know I'm not a good writer but I can now see why you all wanted me to spell check.... *ugh*. Maybe I should redo that JUST a LOT . I mean, fire arrows? Ewwwwwwww.... I don't know WHERE I got that from... Prolly a mud or something *shiver*.

[Tessar]

Race: Elf

Name: Tessar Twelveblade

Age: I'm not sure how old he is right now...

Skills: Healing, swords, a little dagger throwing, an average archer, and he knows both physical magic and (thanks Leif!) the magic of the spirit realm.

Desc: A slim elf with (I don't remember exactly what color they were... I'll just choose a new one) blue eyes that watch the stars often. He is much stronger in magic than he thinks, but he is still not nearly as strong as a true Isatary (sp?). He can be somewhat shy if he doesn't know a person but once he gets to know them he can be a good friend... Well that's all I can think of for now, hard for me with my little RPG exp to go back and redo someone after he has been played a bit.

History: Tessar was traveling with his parents to an uncle, they were bringing a power crystal to him. Along the way, they were ambushed by orcs and Tessar's parents were killed. He ran from the orcs for several days before he met a group of people who sheltered him and he accompanied them on their quest, assisting them with the crude magic he knew. After the quest was complete, he traveled with the former leader of the group and was taught how to use a sword. When the man died (Did he die? I thought he was a human but please correct me if I'm wrong) he traveled alone for a time before he went to Valla (thats the name of the undying lands, right?) and studied under a teacher there. He honed his magical skills, learning much of the spirit realm, and then came back to middle earth, what happened after that is unknown until the time that he stumbled upon his former companions again and helped them keep evil for attaining a powerful book.

Heh, not much better but at least it's spell checked!!!
