Perhaps a compromise...one Visitor goes into the Dead Thread at the start of the next DAY and the other Visitor has to be killed?
That might spice up the tactical options a bit.

For some reason (idiocy, probably) I read this as a sort of conditional statement- "If Visitor #1 goes into the Dead Thread then Visitor #2 has to be killed [the Day after]", but you just mean their roles work differently, right?

So, about the setting- do you have anything in mind?

I was sort of thinking a setting of I invite everybody back to my place to make amends for forcing them to watch that horrible movie last time. There's no way that could go wrong...right? Do you have a suggestion? I will probably post a sign-up thread this weekend and see if we have enough interest to actually get this thing off the ground.

Well, generally I prefer Middle-earth settings for these games, but that's just me. I could wander off and try to come up with a specific one if you like, though. Of course by now everything has been probably been done before at least once, though...

Let's see... in no particular order, we've set them in the Shire (several times- we seem to find the notion of Hobbit bloodbaths strangely poignant), in Rohan, in Gondolin, in Minas Tirith, in Lorien, in Valinor(!), among the Woodmen, among the Rangers, on Amon Rudh, in Bree, in Numenor (several times), in Belfalas, in Harad, in Lorien, in Brethil, among the Lossoth (the first Duelling Wizards), among the Wargs, among the Trolls, on the Helcaraxe, in Beorn's house, in Tom Bombadil's house, on the actual Barrowdowns, among the Corsairs (repeatedly- arrr, we like to be pirates, me hearties!), in Angband, in Utumno, on Ard-Galen (the first Dead Thread game), in Hithlum, in Ossiriand, in Erebor, in Laketown, in Shelob's lair, in Ithilien, in the Misty Mountains, under the Misty Mountains (in which we were Orcs and oddly enough the game ended in a bloody massacre of the entire village- ya hoi!), in Tol-in-Gaurhoth itself (twice) and there was even an alternate history one wherein Saruman returned to the light and somehow persuaded the Council to form an entirely different Fellowship including Uglúk!
![]() Well, revisiting all these past glories has occupied a rainy evening for me, but it does show the difficulty of finding an unused Middle-earth setting. ![]() However, there are a few notable locations that don't seem to have been used yet, including, oddly enough, Rivendell. You could perhaps do something with that. Eregion at the time of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain also strikes me as having potential for a Duelling Wizards game, and then there are still some vacant- as it were- First Age settings, including Doriath and Nargothrond. Also I don't think there's been one set in Thranduil's halls, or in Fangorn (though perhaps that's for the best, given what dedicated roleplayers we all are- Day One alone could take weeks). Anyway, it's your game, so feel free to use these suggestions or not as you like. As I said, it's been fun looking up these old threads anyway.
