“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
Welcome to my interest thread, now, let me tell you a little more about what I have in mind!
I am a huge Tolkien fan, as I imagine many others are, and have always wanted to run an Advanced RP set in the Tolkienverse and so this shall be my first attempt at doing so. So bear with me.
That being said, this is what I had in mind;
A dedicated and, hopefully, long-running RP set against the backdrop of the Fourth Age of Arda; beginning a year or so after the Fall of Barad-Dur and Sauron, our group (imagining mostly Men, but Elves or Dwarves might possibly be accepted too) setting off on an adventure quite of their own - I do have a narrative lined up, although, depending on the number of players and exactly where it goes, I'm more than happy to be more malleable about the plot line.
Secondly, I must reiterate that this is both an Advanced RP, and that I would prefer players with at least some knowledge of Tolkien and his universe. By that I do not mean everyone needs to write like Tolkien, nor that you need to know the background to every leaf from the Trees of Valinor, just that you haven't simply seen the films and that you can carry a character from this rich fandom.
Yes, I understand that this is potentially the broadest and least detailed interest thread ever, but until I know there are those willing to join I've forgone a more detailed look at what I've got in store. Please feel free to ask questions though!
Now, do I have anyone's attention?
