My vote is for Vampires as well. I think it will be fun to write more Tolkienesque vampires as opposed to Anne Rice vampires...
The only true vampire mentioned in Tolkien's works is Thuringwethil ("Woman of Secret Shadow"). She was Morgoth's messenger. Lúthien disguised herself as Thuringwethil when she snuck into Angband. The only physical attributes mentioned are bat like wings (which could be folded and hidden beneath the capes, no?) and iron claws. So..that's the Vampire info... (PS - I think it would be cool to have at least a few of the hooded figures be "female"..sick of all male baddies [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])
As for the newbies...before he went AWOL, Gilthalion, our moderator, said that the RPG was closed to newcomers. And as we are already very far along in the story and we have no way to ask him...I think we should stick to his wishes. But if the others have better ideas...?
