Hmmm. We're still crossing Rohan. Have we passed Edoras yet, or are we still in the Westfold?

[Dave1004]

lol. Well, if you like, i'll see if you get a six again that something good comes up.

Ah, it's up to the GM. I just see a 6 as a...Well, a 1 in a 6 chance to get something cool. But I'm a newbie to RTD's, so do however you wish. I'll be looking forwards to me harem of Elven maidens after slaying these goblins! Hrmph.

Not being serious fyi .

Oh, and btw guys, I would like to ask that you all put your name in front of a post. Kind of annoying, having to search through the thread for your names and status.

"Sir, what are our orders!"

[kilakan]

Khan-Get the soldiers to erect spikes in front of all the entrances to the city, pointing outwards.  Convince the commanders to stockpile oil pots overhanging the spikes so that when they get stuck we can drop burning oil on them, halting their progress so that the  archers have more time to take down as many as possible before the melee.

Wow, an RTD on Middle Earth! I'm In!
~~~
Name: Elodīn
Race:Elf (Silvan)
Items:
Mallorn Longbow - Made from the wood of the great Mallorn trees, this bow is both flexible and sturdy, smooth in form and grey silver in color. Able to shoot arrows that, as legend say, could pierce steel armor from a distance longer that most others, its deadliness is unmatched when wielded by one trained in the art of the bow. This has known to be - as the local folk might say, the staple weapon of the Elves.

Hardened leather armor - Silvan Elves, unlike others, generally do not use heavy armor. Their environment being the forest, they had to adapt and use armor that offered mobility, sacrificing any sense of protection to be able to hide in shadow and conduct quick ambush raids upon their enemies.


Strength - 3
Knowledge - 1
Agility - 3
Toughness - 2
Recuperation - 1

Bio: Elodīn was a tracker and hunter, frequently venturing out of the forests he called home, catching prey and stories alike form encounters with humans. Soon, word spread that the powers in the East were growing. Sauron was gaining strength once more.

Fearing for the sake of his home and, that without any action, Mirkwood would come under Sauron's power once more, he decided that the will of many overpowers that of the few. On that same day, he left the forest home; to take the fight against Sauron's forces through any means necessary even if it included his death with it.

Special Power:
Heightened Senses: Years spent with the bow and arrow have honed Elodīn's senses, specifically his eyesight. He can sight things that many easily overlook, reflex and experience taught him the hard lesson of looking where you leap as sometimes, overconfidence brings a nasty surprise.

First time in a RTD.

EDIT:Ahh, did not see the whole title, nor the six pages that followed :/ . Got caught up on the first post. Signing up for a replacement [please define], original post spoilered.

Did I kill this thread? 

[ansontan2000]

No you didn't, i just stopped updating. Sorry everyone, but i will have to abandon this thread.

[Elfeater]

No you didn't, i just stopped updating. Sorry everyone, but i will have to abandon this thread.

Noooooooooooo!

[IronyOwl]

Ah, that's a shame. Though, games set wholly in other works like this do tend to not go so well, so I suppose it's not that surprising.

Still, this means there's no delicious manflesh.

[Dwarmin]

@IO: Yeah, that was a problem with OoTKRTD. I had to deviate so much from the source material I lost interest >_>

In this case, it's just a problem of the GM losing interest, I believe. Oh well, it happens.

[freeformschooler]

Well, like I always say, it's gotta be something you REALLY love writing about Though LoTR is VERY heavy source, so staying true to it would be difficult, I'd imagine.

[Dave1004]

Ah, well, beggars can't be choosers, aye?

Maybe I should start an RTD. Somebody, give me a simple idea and I'll start it immediately. Preferably something fantasy/zombie related. Seriously, I have all the time in the world; - I don't have a job nor go to school, so if I do make an RTD, i'll work on it 'til either everybody quits or I die.

Simple idea.

In this perilous world, there is only one true power; - You! Yes, you. The fat one in the corner, spinning his last two coppers on the ale-sodden table. what's that you say? You want to know how you can become greater than the mightiest kings? For but a copper, I can inform you! ...Not a good trade? Very well, my information shall be free...Simply, you must become a merchant!  Starting in a homely town, you can open up your own item shop, relying on goods gathered from Adventurers or simple objects that you purchase and sell at a heavily extorted price! There's plenty of people out there needing a good sword, club, or potion; - And even more requiring a bit of proper adventuring gear! Wait, what? You say that you don't know anything about merchantising? Ah, my friend, that's where I come in! You see, I can help you with this task...For a minor fee. All I ask of you is a small cut of your profits every month, nothing to worry about! I have all the tips and know-hows from years of travelling and dungeon-crawling, I'm even better than one of those magical encyclopedias! So, why don't we head out of this sodding tavern and find us a proper place to stay, mmm? I may be able to loan you a bit of the basic necessities to start out, and it won't even cost you!...At least, not at the beginning. Very well! I see that I have your full interest now. May I welcome you to the wonderful world of Fornoth! Where tentacle beasts and level 1 Jesters roam the sands, seeking fame, fortune and nubile young virgins!

How's that for a beginning? Not too shabby, eh?
