Assigned to Mordor Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Will we have no official battles, LMP? I'd rather fancied the concept of the group getting caught up in an all out war between teenagers and parents, with strife amongst the group (go tension!) as a result to be dealt with. Perhaps an obligatory bit of deus ex machina to get the group back on with the journey... obviously not eagles, but perhaps... skwerls. Telling them that if they don't get back on task, they'll be forced to remain in Mordor. Or something equally fun.

Thoughts?

Your responses are the reason I posted up. I want a cross pollination of ideas BEFORE we get started with the actual game. I'm sure you guys can think up plenty of stuff to improve upon, or replace my half baked ideas.

How about a parents versus teens street battle outside the University of Mordor? And don't worry, just because it's called a university doesn't mean teens can't go. It's the bureaucratic hub for all so-called education in Mordor.

And with all the various furry critters that have been assigned to Mordor, we have plenty of deus ex machina possibilities to choose from.
