Notice to all posters in the Green Dragon Inn:

Please familiarize yourselves with the Rules of Posting in RPG’s and in the Green Dragon Inn. They are found in The Red Book of Westmarch.

You will be expected to follow these guidelines, whether or not you have read them.

Inappropriate posts will be returned to their writer with a warning and the post itself will be deleted from the board.

Posters who continue to be unable to follow the guidelines in The Red Book of Westmarch will be referred to an Administrator and run the risk of being banned from posting on the Barrow Downs.

Points of general information:

1.) Time frame in the Inn:

At this point the Green Dragon Inn is in the Fourth Age, about year 13. Elessar is King. It is mid-summer.

The Ban against Big Folk has been somewhat relaxed in the Shire for purposes of this 'game', and all sorts of creatures from Middle-earth are seen passing through the Shire and visiting the Inn.

2.) A basic rule concerning posting in the Inn, from The Red Book of Westmarch:

There is to be no independent RPG'ing within the Inn. Don't try to play your RPG storyline by coming into the Inn thread with it.

3.) Be very careful when you introduce characters which Tolkien, himself, wrote - any of the Fellowship of the Ring or other characters drawn by Tolkien in his writing.

Develop your own character which is Tolkien-friendly and use that character instead of manipulating one or more of Tolkien’s characters.
