Play-by-Post: Tales of the North (A Call for Fellowship)

Post by Curulon » Wed Dec 17, 2014 12:47 am

Hello all.

There is a play-by-post starting soon that is looking for Fellowship members. Currently, there are three members and a maximum of four more are being sought. The Lord of the Rings: Tales of the North will eventually take the Fellowship from Wilderland to Eriador in what is hopefully an epic Tale of Years and a story worthy of legend.

Please message me with your desire to play, as well as what Culture and Calling you would seek. Currently, there is a Ranger of the North Warden, Elf of Mirkwood Warden, and Hobbit of the Shire Treasure-Hunter. Tales of the North is looking for serious, dedicated writers and roleplayers, and more details will follow should be interested. Thank you.

I'm interested, maybe the company has need of a dwarf of Erebor? That said, I haven't played in a PbP before; do you have a good example of how it works?

I would be very interested, unless you are intending to go through Tales from Wilderland. I'm currently running that one as a PBP myself.

I already play a Woodman of Mirkwood in Rocmistro's PBP. I might quite like to play a Barding of Dale.

I would be interested too. I can play any culture needed to match the others in the group. Is there a start date yet?

Currently three spots have been claimed, with one remaining. Heilemann will have priority since he was in contact first, but if he declines to play, then the spot will be offered to Halbarad, and then Elfhelm.

Two spots have opened up, and I have been advised by the Loremaster to explain that Tales of the North uses a number of House Rules - most of them taken from Rich H's wonderful Additional Character Rules supplement. As well, the game assumes prior adventuring experience for the characters, and players begin with additional Experience and Advancement Points.

Please PM me if you are interested!

While I'm sure that there's as many varieties as there are GMs, some examples got posted in this thread. Since some of them are mine, I can't speak as to whether or not those are good examples or not.

After speaking with the Loremaster, the number of House Rules used has been cut down dramatically. The prior adventuring experience is still in play, but only two other House Rules are in play that will apply to all players - and both of them are simply additional options, instead of new rules.

I'd be interested in playing. Otherwise...

If all spaces are taken I'd also be interested in 'shadowing' how the loremaster runs the game as I'm thinking to start running a game for friends after 20 years away from playing rpg's. I have a copy of the game rules - the 1st edition.

We used to play ICE's Middle Earth and Rolemaster. Learning to be Loremaster and play through pbm would be great for me if possible. Hopefully it wouldn't be too much of an extra chore for your LM and would probably only really involve including me on the email exchanges if possible and the occasional rule reference/reasons for decisions the LM makes in the game...

Thanks for considering,

Matthew
