Any intrest in an adventure RPG? (LLL discussion part I)
Having been in several memorable RPG adventures and kind of missing those days, I've been working myself up to starting and leading an RPG on my own. But I'd like to check first if anyone is even interested in joining. There'd be little point in it otherwise, eh?
The basic idea: The basic idea is this: The game will take place in the fourth age, after the ringbearers have left. All characters had had some past acquintance with Gandalf and now they receive a final request from our dear grey wanderer: to seek out Radagast and aid him in a quest, a quest to discover what happened to the Entwives and whether any are left today. What is intended: I intend to take the game unto rather infrequently-travelled paths in Middle-earth, to give players a chance to write something more than only battles but yet at times pitch them against some enemies a little more different than common orcs, add some whiffs of humour, and if I can pull it off the way I intend to: there may even be a real mystery for you to solve. You could see the game as a cross between a collective writing-effort and an old-fashioned RPG with a game master, except without the dice. I'm working on some possible scenarios but input and ideas from players during the game may definitely lead it to places even unknown to me. What to expect: Characters do not have to be experts in warfare at all, all that is required is a bare minimum of self-defense and sense for adventure. All races are open for grabs, as long as the characters stay plausible. (One or two Ents would definitely be nice.) No previous experience is required, I think I'll be able to get everyone well integrated. If it does get started, I would very much also see it through till the end, so be advised that this RPG may take over a year to play. (Usually this is no problem for most players if their interest in the game can be kept. So don't be too daunted by this.) And rest assured, the game would not require daily or weeky, long posts from players. We should be able to deal with certain absenses and long pauzes. Okay, so, when? When and if enough players can be found, the game could start somewhere in september-october since I think that period is easier for most people. (The scenarios need a little bit more of plotting too.) Dates are not fixed in stone. There, I think I have addressed the most important points. Feel free to ask if there is anything not yet clear. Frankly, the entire upset will be a big challenge for me as well, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.

I'd be game. I've never done much RPG, but I like the concept.

Same here.
How does it work: do you set out a scenario and unfold it for us like a DM in D&D or do we all muck in and create the story as we go along? |

I like the troupe so far - reminds me of that Bergman film where some Swedish Knight plays Chess with Death, amidst the ruination of the Pox or Black death - or some other ten-a-penny - middle-age Plague.

beware of people that post three times in a row.
They tend to play rpgs! Question - how strictly will it be Gm'd? Also - is it to be a small but friendly and high quality team or mass-invite? I like very much all of the above - and feel it could be a very fun, easy-going and notable venture. Best, BB **edit** - 'The seventh seal' |

Oh dear, that was quick. If I managed to entice the likes of BJ and The Gaffer (whom I don't think I've ever seen in the RPG forum yet) I better make sure I also deliver. *slight panic attack*

I suppose the safest way is to say it will start with me in the lead and we'll see where it gets us. Quote:

Sounds great, but I probably won't be able to be a frequent poster.

I think I'll join in, but somebody's gotta tell me that it's starting when it's starting.
I don't look around the RPG forum much, or realy at all -save looking for a few favorites-.

But I'll give you a yell when we do start, Me9996. Thanks everyone for taking an interest in this game.

Greetings. I shall sign up, as well. Why not? Check out my profile thread and inform me if any of them would be suitable. ---> http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=14419 Or mayhaps I shall merely toss a few names in a hat to decide. Any other R. P. G. type things looking for people, at the moment? I haven't bumped into any.

You are both welcome.
I know of no game that is actively looking for players right now. I believe there are three other games still active: War of the Ring, The Army of Shadow and Entmoot I: national emergency. You can check those out, or start one of your own.
