The White Horse Inn planning thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The current White Horse Inn is set 10 years before the War of the Rings.

This has made it impossible to have hobbits showing up in Edoras. There are also a few other chronological issues which make it a little more cannonically challenging.

I thought that a post WotR would be something different. It would allow for more freedom from the 'book', as happens now in The Green Dragon in The Shire. I would also like to go back to a less planned and more improvisational format.

Is there a general concensus about when the next Horse should be set? It might be fun to "age" our characters. Or of course you could have completely different ones.

The other thread will also be in a very different geographical location.

Any suggestions?
