Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 05-12-2006, 03:58 PM

Answers and questions...

- In the OtF I played a retired rider of Rohan (a rider of Croacht - the biggest Rohanian city in Wold - so not one of the real Eored anyhow). So I wouldn't be so keen to make another 40-year-old warrior-guy in this, as I'll be a man of arms here too: two veteran soldiers in a row is quite unimaginative RPG'ing... But if the other people are too young for the game's purpose, I might come up with being in the middle twenties to early thirties. You just tell me the age, and I'll put up with it. 20 is ok., as is 35... (I'll come up with suitable background stories with these as is required) If needs be, I could also play a gammer, but then my character would be less a man of arms and more of a carpenter...

- I will settle easily to the +20 days schedule (game-time), do not worry about that. I'll just come up with some other explanation of him being there. But still I ask, whether you would think it better for my character to be summoned to the Mead Hall by some authority (Form's character already was that way, so maybe something different with mine?) or is he just coming by - and then staying because of the circumstances? I think coming up with the reason to stay for my character (with no intention of staying in the beginning) during the day would be nice gaming - as we would try to come up with it - and then someone hitting the right key...

- I happen to be Lommy's father...

And really. If Lommy's character also is a carpenter...? Wooops!
Well, I think we can make it this time, not to stuck in these overlong discussions with ourselves. We just got jammed in the GD, as the storyline we were building up was just too complicated to unfold in the GD-purposes (I think it would be more Gondor-style of a plot, being opened in a year (RL) or something) Just to you others: do not let us loose in this game!

Um, I don't really know how old Kara is. She just sort of, turned up, without much of a history! I suppose she'd be around 18-20 ish, something like that anyway.
