Wise words, Mattius, and too true [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I'd like to add something. To elaborate on the way we formed the game, if I can recall correctly, Iaurlachien (who played Rothalle) began the discussion and allowed people to join and post characters first. Then, once we had everyone on board, we discussed the location, and Iaur suggested it take place in the uninhabited Ered Luin, hence the name, so that we wouldn't have to inhibit our creative juices too much by the laws of the land or anything. Then, over time and after we started the RPG, we developed the plot and the objective. I found that we were able to make it much more intricate by doing so, instead of having it prefabricated like most others. The RPG went from August till early February, and it was the first and only RPG I've successfully completed so far.
