I used to play on this Minecraft server called Wynncraft quite often when I was in high school. It's kind of like a fantasy RPG, with quests to complete, armour and items to collect or craft, and particular skills to develop based on the class you chose when logging in (e.g. mage, archer...
(Note: This is a private RP between myself and @WatcherWraith . Please feel free to read it here and discuss it in the separate discussion thread.)
Another day, another mess in the House of Fëanáro. And, as usual, it was Maitimo's job to do something about it.
His brothers making messes grew...
For millennia the lands of Middle-earth had been dominated by Morgoth, the Dark Lord, the ultimate source of all evil. War had ravaged the lands even before the awakening of the Elves, and since then had always raged in some form for thousands of years. But for the past few hundred years, the...
Eight children Fëanáro Curufinwë had: seven sons, and one daughter. All were like him in fiery fierceness of spirit, yet not all shared his vengeful wrath, or his anger which was so easily provoked. All deeply loved their father and mother, yet some would be torn between obedience and...
In the spirit of 'what Tolkien books y'all got' I present a list of Middle-earth RPG products I own.
A lot of people have a problem with Rolemaster (Chartmaster, Rollmaster), but I like crunchy RPGs. Other than all the charts, Rolemaster isn't any more complicated than most RPGs and MERP less...
I recently read a post (I've since lost it) about Sauron vs. Superman. The author points out that the types of 'power' and the logic of their universes are very different. A great deal of Sauron's power is that his overwhelming spirit will cow people and keep them from even trying to fight them...
In the german forums we had years ago a lot of funny, exciting role playing games, in which every person writes a charaktere from Middle earth.
Then we have created a story which fits good to middle earth and open the role playing game, in which everyone writes then his charaktere.
I would be...
Okay, so this is a different storyline than my previous 3 threads. In this one I'm running an RPG where the player's interference in the sacrifice of their peer by Sauron in Númenor results in the death of Ar-Pharazôn (accidentally by Sauron) and the destruction of Sauron's body. My question...
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, and I'm sorry if it's not...
I'm running a roleplaying game, based in Númenor in the Second Age and I wanted one more player to join us. The game is set just after Sauron is taken back to Númenor and the corruption of the Númenoreans...
OK so for a long time its been bugging me that no one has managed to create a realistic LOTR rpg that allows you to explore middle earth in great detail (LOTRO does not count). So basically I've been trying to come up with a bunch of ideas for the perfect LOTR RPG, if I had to compare it to...
Got my hands on the books for this, and it's fantastic. Firstly, it's the only professionally produced Middle Earth rpg I've seen that doesn't have rules for PC wizards, which is definitely refreshing. Also, the initial setting is a period of ME history frequently over-looked by most RPs-- the...
Cyryn went slowly through the darkness, his hand clenching at the arrow embedded into his left shoulder. The pain was far from overwhelming, but he didn't enjoy being wounded in the least, nor did he like giving orcs a trail of blood to follow him.
Stopping to rest on a tree and recover his...
I think this place may have died out (much the pity) but just in case I'll ask the question.
I believe that rpg stands for role playing game like ones I played as a child but how do they work on a forum like this; if I could get a brief xplination. I read part of one and it appeared to be kinda...
Hiya guys - kind of got this idea for an RPG in my head that's kind of Tolkien related. I say 'kind of' as I've hit something of a wall with Tolkien RPGs finding Middle-earth a bit too restrictive for some of the stories I'd like to tell, or more specifically for some of the characters I'd like...

Ok, this is what brought this up. I read it and it seemed like a very detailed plan (it's a link about how it was really possible for the Eagles to carry the ring to Mt. Doom) so I thought, how would it be to rewrite the entire Lord of the Ring's...
