After reviewing this, I'll permit this starting with Sat's game.

I've got several openings for serious mature roleplayers if anyone is interested. I can provide you a rulebook (pdf) if needed as this game is long out of print.

After fleeing the warg riders with the wounded Dunedain warrior, the party camped at a Ranger outpost for a night and tended his wounds as best they could. They then got reunited with Ashetar and found another Dunedain patrol seeking out the wounded warrior's fate. They joined the patrol and were escorted to a small camp at the base of Amon Sul. The party is being asked to help scout the hills/caves to the north for orcs/wargs from Arathorn IV, the captain of the army encamped at the foot of Amon Sul.

Game Time/Day: Saturday evenings 9 pm-1 am EST.
Session #8
Game Server: Mayhem
Game Room: Middle-Earth Roleplay
Timeline: Fourth Age 1
Game: MERP 2e rules with possible Rolemaster expansion later on.
Level: 2
House Rules: 100 gp to start (ignore 2 gp starting funds), you may pick your background options or roll them randomly. However, if you wish to combine them all into one mighty magic item/heirloom or the like, you must seek approval from me first. You can buy minor magic items with your gold or herbs or the like. See pgs 258-260 MERP 2e.

Also no Orcs/Trolls/Corsairs/Easterlings/Haradrim/Variags/Black Numenoreans as pc races. Noldor are also going to be rare. Sindar or Silvan elves ok, most other men and dwarves, hobbits are alright. Also you may reroll your attributes if they're all lower then 65 one additional time, keeping the results. Remember that you can replace your lowest stat with a 90 for your prime attribute. Also remember any stat below 20 can be rerolled at any time.

Sheets should be in .doc/.rtf/.txt/,pdf or pc node files preferred, but the .xls file that trollblood offered will work too. Send me your completed sheets to my email at landothearchmagi at comcast.net.

Thanks, Lando. I appreciate it. Hopefully it will be a fun tweak. I have a guy that has been writing me about the game from D20 Radio. I gave him all the info and linked him here, as well as provided him with rulebook. Hopefully he will join soon.

Nice, I won't get one shotted again.

Yea, the Fate system should help and gives the pcs another option which I'm fine with. It's possible to die horribly in Rolemaster/MERP though, so keep in mind wounds/bleeding and other injuries. Just think of all the wounds Theoden sustained at the hands of the Witch King.

Wounds? that poor guy got dang near eaten, shaken, thrown, crushed, and flattened all a very short time. lol

éowyn > Witch King

Hi all.

By way of intro, I am new here. I have played around with OpenRPG in the past but never had anyone to use it with. I played MERP a long time ago, and I am a bit rusty, but I still have tons of books and supplements.

daddystabz invited me over and I'd like to sit in and maybe join up.

I have read over some of the thread, sounds cool. Just a couple racial questions. Are the banned races simply because they mostly helped Sauron? My intial concept and the character I used to play was a Easterling archer. . and thief. Nothing to do with Sauron, and more of a chaotic good type. Except for the thieving. If this isn't a problem then I have a character pretty much ready to go. Just have to reroll the stats in game and re-arrange things accordingly. The next question would be as to the name... his name was Subotai...if that takes away anything from the feel of the game... no prob.

If this doesn't work.. well I'll come up with something new.

Thanks

I'm not feeling so great, so we'll start probably at 9:30 or so to see if my meds help with my headache. If not I will be postponing tonight's game.
