That seems like it would suit the largest number of people. <center> <u>PEOPLE</u></center> HOBBITS: Possibly employees of Lotho Sackville-Baggins, making a special delivery of pipeweed to the gates of Isengard? ORCS/HALF ORCS: A new generation, bred in the service of Sharkey, trained to obey and do the bidding of the wizard. ELVES: Perhaps scouts from Lothlorien. They would not wish to be in contact with anyone, but might be sent to observe and report. DUNLENDINGS: These half wild folk have been lured into Saruman's service. They are afraid that Rohan will attack at any moment and think only Saruman and his orcs can save them. RIDERS OF ROHAN: They serve Theoden King, who sits on the throne in Meduseld. He is grown old and weary. EASTERLINGS: Mustered to serve the Nazgul at Dol Goldur... <center> <u>PLACES</u></center> MORIA: Don't go there! LOTHLORIEN: Don't go there! ISENGARD: Don't go there! ...hmmmmmm....looks kind of adventurous! MEDUSELD: I hope you have a good reason... HELM'S DEEP: Needs work. Are you here to work? FANGORN FOREST: Don't go there! <center> <u> Details forthcoming. Sign up here! </u></center> If you have an ezboard alias that does not fit this scenario, and don't want to create a new alias for the game, just do as we've done in Bree and Mordor. Certain important characters, such as Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Grima, Saruman, Galadriel, Celeborn, etc. should not be used without permission! Let's try not to break with what is known in the books, though we can bend things a mite. Read the BREE and MORDOR threads and the RULES to get an idea of how we RPG here at the Downs! Combat rules are the "literary" rules, rather than the "gaming" rules. (Readers of the RPG threads will understand!) In short, what we do for a major combat is what we did in BREE for the fight between the Beorning and the Wight. On the Barrow Downs chat, we called a series of coin tosses, best 4 out of 7, the winner gets to write, or make the loser write the post. The coin tosses determine the blow by blow account, the writer elaborates. Please feel free to ask questions and sign in here as you create a character for a ROHAN RPG, coming soon... <center><font face=verdana size=1> http://www.barrowdowns.comBarrow-Downs</a>~http://www.geocities.com/robertwgardner2000Bare Bones</a>~http://pub41.ezboard.com/btarostineruhirTar Ost-in-Eruhir</a>~http://www.geocities.com/robertwgard...ilthalion.htmlGrand Adventures</a>~http://www.barrowdowns.com/fanfichobbits.aspThe Hobbits</a>~http://www.tolkientrail.comTolkien Trail</a> </center></p>
