The Lord of the Rings: Tales of the North (Online Epic)

[Curulon]

As per the title, after many failed attempts to motivate my usual group to take on The One Ring, I decided to go for an online game. (Not all of them have the same love for Tolkien as some of us do, and I did not want to force anything upon them). I will have one or two playing in the game, but I'd like to gauge interest of those here about joining.

I am not sure the exact details regarding the method of play (Skype, MapTools, roll20, ect.) nor the time, but I can offer a few details:

• The official published material will be used in conjunction with house-created stories.
  
• Fan material and supplements will be allowed.
  
• Confirmed are a Ranger of the North and an Elf of Mirkwood.
  
• Heavy character development and roleplay is highly encouraged.
  
• Some form of website, likely Obsidian Portal, will be used to document the campaign.
  
• I am US EST/UTC -5, but I have flexible hours and can likely accommodate for varying time zones.

I don't want a large group, but I am used to handling up to 7 players, so I will say that I have spots for 5 more players. If you're interested, please respond here and I will get in touch with you via private message.

Goodly Curulon, I am most definitely interested in your campaign. I am an avid Tolkienite more than an experienced RPG'er, though I have RPG'd some of ICE's MERP materials (The Northern Waste to be specific) in person and by email w/ Chris Seeman in the distant past. I have all the TOR books, though I have not read of the LM's book. I can play most races, though I'm reluctant to play hobbits. I'm pretty familiar w/ Northmen culture of Rhovanian (and can bone up quickly) and early 3rd Age Dunedain culture of Eriador. I know the history of the Elves from the Awakening forward pretty well. Anyway, enough of my CV, just know of my interest and feel free to PM me at your leisure. Namárië! Boronind (Sind. "stout of heart")

I have two interested parties, but neither are officially confirmed. I am still seeking players.

[Southron]

I would love to play, however, I am only available for a play by forum post format and it seems you are seeking real time play which would keep me out.

[Curulon]

Well, I can certainly keep you in mind and when I have more interested parties, I will see if that format would work as well.

I would love to, since I haven't had a chance to play as a PC yet.. however, I noticed you haven't said what part of the world you are in, since this could cause difficulties with time differences and such. Equally, I'm in the middle of university so I wouldn't be able to give time more than maybe once a week for a few hours

I've updated the first post, but I'm US EST/UTC -5. However, I have flexible hours and can accommodate if there are interested players from Europe/other timezones.

The Fellowship now appears to be:

• Ranger of the North
  
• Elf of Mirkwood
  
• Woodman of Wilderland

I still have room for 4 players.

I would also love to play in a play by post format...
I am currently in uganda and having a stable internet connection for skyping may be difficule, and would be very expencive!

So if you go for this format please consider me

[LOTR_Nerd]

I would like to play.
