With Meneltarmacil's zoo and stealing this idea from an episode of CSI I watched last night, my product is 'zoo-doo' fertilizer.
Here's my opinions on somethings...
I like SamwiseGamgee's idea on the cobbler helping all werecreatures, after all, their life sucks so bad I'm sure they'd like anyone to destroy the village.

I'm for non-mass lynching and I go as far as 'nannying' and say ban it. I think the Beorning needs to be played some more because it is new and maybe that's why some are reluctant with it. And newbies who're joining us, don't worry, you'll catch on really quick and it's so much fun.
I'm for any start time as long as it's 24 hour cycle.

Yeah, don't you think Eomer of the Rohirrim is just being frumpy about the Black Beorning? You're living in the past, man; the times they are a-changing; wake up and smell the cheese etc, etc.

Granted, the games aren't always set in a Medieval time, but Middle Earth is often the general place for our version, so I thought I'd help out a little by offering a list I found in a great historical fiction book:

Wheelwright
Trader in crockery and pewter
Ironmonger
Fish seller
Cordwainer
Butcher
Baker
Cloth-seller
Tailor
Silversmith (intriguing possibilities in a werewolf game?)
Carpenter
Leatherworker
Bellows-maker
Glover
Hatter
Yarnmaker
Rabbitseller
Spicer
Greengrocer
Garlic seller (again, interesting possibilities?)
Poultry merchant
Cooper (barrel maker)
Coal seller
Salt merchant
Oatmeal seller
Hog dealer
Wool merchant
Carter
Mason
Shepherd
Coppersmith
Money lender
Cheese seller
Tanner
Aulnager (exacter of fees and fines from the local feudal lord)

There are probably more, but this list was all in one place, so I thought I'd offer it.

I left out the sacred professions as they are not appropo to Middle Earth.

It appears I have a wedding ceremony to go to on Sunday. This wouldn't be a problem if the first 24 hour stage was a night though - hint hint.

Secondly, before I choose my role: where's the village set? The Shire?

Somewhere less fun?

Um. That's it really. End transmission.

arcticstorm · 08-27-2005, 08:13 AM

Yea change my profession also to one on tha tlist: a coppersmith

Bergil · 08-27-2005, 08:35 AM

If there's still room, sign me up! I'll be a "very bad carpenter"

wilwarin538 · 08-27-2005, 08:35 AM

Change mine to please. To a tailor.

Yeah, six hundred posts!

mormegil · 08-27-2005, 09:40 AM

I was thinking along the lines of being a travelling merchant and trader with not specialty. So basically a general merchant.

Oh and thank you LMP for you list of appropriate jobs.
