Realms of Middle-earth Discussion Thread

[DáinIronfoot]

Okay, for those who have not yet noticed, I have spent much of the afternoon bringing over every RP section from the CC archives so we don't have to keep switching back and forth between the two. Realms of the North is now posted here, and it's fully up to date with all material from the first site to CC's untimely demise.

Here is the list of participants as I see them:

Dáin Ironfoot:
Rorin, Dwarf of the Iron Hills
Ryle, Man of Dale
Curubethion, Ranger of the North (it would be nice if CG wants this character back)

Elf Lvr:
Silvarin, Elf of Mirkwood

AgentDrake:
Echtheow, Man of Rohan

sickofpalantirs:
Tuilin, Elf of Mirkwood

NBarden:
Duinihir, Ranger of the North

We'd kind of limp along the characters of Dirthon the ranger (Anonymous Prodigy), Legoles the Elf (legoles3333), and Durail the ranger/adventurer (ingold55), since their creators have disappeared. I know EL and SoP have each volunteered to write for Durail in the past, Legoles will probably leave the party soon for simplicity's sake (but anyone can use him until then), and Dirthon will stick around for now and I'll write for him, but anyone other current participants who want to jump in on him are welcome to so!

If you are NOT a former participant in this RPG and wish to join, now would be a good time. The party is currently pretty early in its journey, feasting and resting at Edoras after the Battle of Helm's Deep before we trek on to Mirkwood, where trouble seems to be brewing. It would be perfectly concievable to pick up another party member or two now, and make much LESS sense once we're in Mirkwood itself. So if you're interested, reply here or PM me and we'll figure out how to get you involved.

Again, if you need to catch up on the storyline to this point, you can find it here.

Once the regulars let me know they're caught up and ready to roll, we'll move on. In the meantime, I still need to make a DC at this site for all three of the characters I'm responsible for , so until I get to that the rest of you are welcome to post more RP stuff and get back into the swing of things.

My internet is still off, so I may be a bit of a delay until it's going.
Hopefully no more than a couple more days, but I dunno.

Looking forward to this, though.

((so what do we do now?))

((so what do we do now?))

Continue with the last instructions of Site 3...which is basically to mill about and chat with your fellow heroes, and create one DC (both of which you've already done). About the only ones that HAVEN'T done that yet are MY characters. I'll be getting on that tomorrow.

[sickofpalantirs]

humm...tomorrow dain?

[DáinIronfoot]

Yeah, sorry. Just been really ummotivated the last few days. Been busy with lots and lots of house and baby stuff in the evenings and swamped at work. I HAVE had time to work on DCs and the RPG stuff, but I've just felt really "meh" about it. I think I need a vacation or something. Too bad there aren't any on the horizon.

I'll get to it soon, I promise. Just gotta get my wits back about me.

[AgentDrake]

Hey, real life takes precedence. After all, if you kill yourself in RL, who would we get to play Rorin, Ryle, and Cerubethion, eh?

Besides. Lack of activity here reduces my motivation for procrastinating on my homework....

[DáinIronfoot]

Okay, FINALLY got the DCs moved over here to a RoME DC list. If you've forgotten what sort of stats, gear, and events your characters have, mosey on over there and catch up.

I know what I want to do when we finally move to the next site, but I've been having trouble getting sections done for my characters before we do so. I hope to finish it over this weekend...if not, then by Monday. That's my goal, at least.

Oh, and if anyone else is interested in joining, now would be a great time. Just reply here or send me a PM if you're interested.

[AgentDrake]

Insert shameless plug:

JOIN US!

Seriously. Even if you're terrible at DCs, here's the best chance to learn, because you'll be creating them to represent specific actions. Helps you to create specific, goal-driven, useful DCs.

so...
JOIN!

[SomeRandomDude]

I'm around whenever it starts back up.

[DáinIronfoot]

Working feverishly on sections for Rorin, Ryle, and Curubethion so we can move on. It should neatly bring everyone back up to speed and make clear our next course of action, as well as catching my characters up and creating their DCs. Took me a while to get back into character--especially for all three--but now the words are rolling off the pen. Er, I mean keyboard.

I swear on my firstborn child it will be up in the next 24 hours, and hopefully significantly less than that.

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Can I join?

[Elf_Lvr]

I'm sure that would be fine. You'd need a few DC's to start out with.

Thoughts, Dain?

[DáinIronfoot]

Already PMed him, and we've got something worked out for a little further down the line. I think it will fit very nicely, actually.

[DáinIronfoot]

Oh, by the way, how'd you like me teasing...well, myself at the start of the new passage in relation to how long it's been since we were last working on the RPG?

"I guess I got a little distracted. How long was I out?"

"A LONG time."
