Númenórean Blood Runs Black Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'll be also posting the bio and the first post soon (=before weekend).

And I think it's quite important to tell you, that I'll be away whole next week, so I'd prefer that you wouldn't start the RPG before next week's weekend. When we are actually supposed to start?

About the start of Game:

Please get your character bios and posts in by this coming Wednesday - so that Perky can take a look at them for edits needed and I can start to get the RPG Thread set up.

He will be away from the 16th through the 22nd of this month.

I 'd like to start the game the 24th.

Thanks!

~*~ Pio

I, too, assumed it as afternoon, actually. His councelor was sore impatient by the time the king arrived...with how Firefoot's character acted, I assumed that he'd been there all day.

Nice plan, Kath. It's fine with me.

However, there might be a single problem. You say your character was a baby when Ferethor vanished. That would make him only five or seven years old now, and I won't allow children on my ship. Eorl's character, Ferethor is 31 years old. Even if your character, Kath, is as young as Dunwen's, that means Ferethor would've been only 14 years old when his child was born.

Eorl might need to make Ferethor older and have him be a slave for a longer time, just to make sure that his child is old enough to be a soldier aboard my ship.

And, pio, I have changed midmorning to midafternoon in my first post.

Also, you've got to consider that men (of Numenorean descent) were living a lot longer at that point - Perky's character is 180 years old when the RPG takes place. If you live longer, you probably aren't going to be getting married and having kids at such a young age, either. For it to be really plausible, I would think that Ferethor would be closer to 60.

Other than that, I think it's a great idea.

Herm -- for reasons that will become clear when I finally get my first post done (it's about halfway there), Chakka's story really must begin at night...

Would it be acceptable to Perky and Pio if my post began the night before the game 'begins' and concludes in the middle of the following afternoon (that is, it will begin in the wrong place but catch up and end in the right place).

Hope this is OK...let me know if it is not....but I really hope that it is....

(The only problem with this is that my post may contain events that other players feel they want or need to address in their posts -- I don't feel that this would be necessary myself, but I can't anticipate other players' feelings.)

Well, I just got back from buying Canoeing cloths for my trip to Utah

Let's see here...

Fordim - I personally have no problem with it. I can always make your post one of the first ones on the list. Y'all also would have time to edit stuff in while i'm gone (if Pio doesn't mind approving them while i'm absent). That is, assuming other posts need editing.

He could be impulsive
