Great! An rpg with dwarves.

I'd like to post a profile as a dwarf, but I had a question about the story. The thread says ithe story happens in the year 1423 of the 4th age. Did you mean 1423 SR (shire time), since it starts in the Green Dragon Inn?--That would actually be year two of the Fourth Age.

Or did you mean one thousand four hundred twenty three years into the Fourth Agfe? Wouldn't that be really late? Didn't Tolkien say the last we know of dwarves was when Gimli set sail with Legolas? Sorry to be so picky, but I really like dwarves.

I was going to be someone related to one of the dwarves in the Hobbit, but I'll change my character if it needs to be that much later in the Fourth Age.
