Will do. I'll finish it in the box and then transfer it up.

OK, first post of the game finished. I believe this story has possibilties.
![]() I'll start working on my profiles and posts. In terms of the first post of the game that everyone submits, we need to say what that should be. Presumably, for the Fellowship, it should be their individual response to getting the letter from Aragorn and then setting out the door. We'll have to do one post to leap time forward and get us to the caves where the slaves stay. Any ideas what the first posts of the slaves or orcs should be? Yea, and I agree there's no need to turn in a first post for minor characters.

Yes, good idea. My folk are in Gondor, and my first post will be their response in Gondor to the king's request. (I'll likely do a single joint post with both Lindir and Radagast in it.) If you'd like, I can merely mention near the end of my post that your Gondor character comes to us and we set out together to meet with the king. That would cover his entrance. It would be good if you could focus on the slave contingent.
BTW, I think all of the people Aragorn sends out would need to be staying in Minas Tirith or someplace not too far away. (including visiting Elves, hobbits, etc.) It wouldn't make sense that someone would take months to reach Minas Tirith (to say nothing of how they get the message). That leads us back to the other question. What would first posts for slaves/ex-slaves look like? Maybe for the Orcs first post would be their disatisfaction with their leader and how restrictive he is? Once the first post is done, I think time has to leap forward for slaves and Gondor people till the point where they meet up in the caves. That meeting of slaves and folks from the west would be the second post. Second post for Orcs might be their decision to strike out on their own, not knowing where they're going? Only the vague direction of north....perhaps to hunt for something valuable (perhaps weapons or armor of mithril?) they mistakenly believe Sauron might have left behind on the Plateau of Gorgoroth? Just thinking out loud. Other views are definitely welcome.... ____________________ Is that first game post OK?

![]() And the first post looks great! I love Aragorn's reminiscing; that's a great touch. Quote:
Your ideas for the Orcs' first posts sound good to me; I'll have to come back with more ideas later if I can. Being pulled away from the comp now... |

Just reviewing the earlier part of this thread. Here's an answer to a related question.... I do think it would be good if your major character was the slave, and the man from Gondor a secondary character. That way, as game founders, we'd have a solid foot in both those camps.
One other question I raised: Quote:

We cross [posted...here's my response
Ack....if you want to do the two posts---one for each character---that would be great (in fact, preferable). Just wanted to give you an out if that was needed.
So let's go with the two posts for you. I'll try and write you a note tonight about some people interested in the game.

The Uruk-hai were closer to men, possibly, weren't they? Then it might actually be more likely that they would 'rebel' and be more 'civilised.' It would also be more convenient if they were Uruk-hai. Edit: Great! Can't wait to hear from you. And two posts it is. Okay, now I've really got to go....unless something drags me back again. ![]() ![]() |
