The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

[the phantom]

I was going to suggest that we had forgotten that Sam existed entirely!!

That's fine with me. I can change it if you'd like.

And I will put in a second plug for Frodo going to Barad-dur to challenge Sauron to single combat, since that's pure canon.

Oh, definitely. And as far as Saruman's character description, that's due to what you said about Brinn's husband wanted to play comic roles- I figured Saruman had some comic potential if we portrayed him as a rather ineffective crazy wizard. He couldn't have been very powerful after all, as the rumor is he and his works were ended by some walking plants.

Yes, I think that would be appropriate.

And what do you guys think about Lothlorien? How should we portray it and Galadriel?
