Good to hear!

I"m interested, when do you play and how does it work?

Welcome we play Sat nights about 9 pm til 12:30/1 am EST.

Currently the party is scouting the Weather Hills and the old realm of Arnor for orc lairs/orc/warg activity and making notes for captain Arathorn IV of King Elessar's forces. These forces have begun assembling in Rivendell and at the ruins of Weathertop (Amon Sul) in preparation to retake Arnor and Angmar. The party found a old ruined watchtower from the 2nd/early Third Age and have explored it, discovering a hidden armory beneath the tower and a further secret door / stairwell (dwarven make) that leads into some sort of tunnel system. They encountered some traps and had to figure out some runes/puzzles. They also fought a large spider dwelling in the tunnel. They killed the spider, but now they hear sounds of battle from above where some of the party was on watch. Evidently orcs or something has come along....

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.

Game Time/Day: Saturday evenings 9 pm-1 am EST.
Session #12
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.

I know Lando is busy a lot with grad school so if you need anything in the meantime, Syrrel, you can also come to me. Here is a link where you can download the gamebook in PDF http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UMB870S5.

I can help you make a character or make one for you, based on what you wish to play. Right now the party has greatest need for an Animist (healer) but you are of course free to play what you like.

We will help you learn the game along the way. It is a great game and campaign.

I have a question, actually several. Do you guys play every Saturday night? I am sometimes available Saturday nights depending on what is going on IRL. If you don't mind a player who will be there sometimes and maybe have the character NPC'ed the other times I could be down. I wouldn't even mind being the Animist (healer), though I would maybe use a pregen or have daddystabz throw one down for me. I only got to play MERP a LONG time ago (the 80's) and wouldn't mind giving it another shot if it could work out. If you want someone more consistent I do understand though, I'm kinda the same way...

We play every Saturday night but occasionally will be missing a player due to real life. Lando will have to decide if that arrangement is agreeable but I think we could possibly work it out if I had to guess.

If not it is all good, maybe when I am free I will come by and sit in to see how it all plays out. At least I'd still have your much fun Conan BoL game....in which it looks like Khazim may be on his way to picking up a 5th career

Personally I have missed a few. Right now, I make a good many sessions, though I did make clear about once a month I may miss for IRL stuff. I make sure to let everyone know that about a week or two ahead of time.

We are getting severe storms all night tonight here in Ohio. We are getting the remnants of the storms that ripped through part of the heartland the other day, killing 17 people. I should be able to make it tonight but if you don't see me it is because of this. My internet went out earlier for a bit but is up now.

Yea, I'm going to see how it goes. Our wizard is without power at his house so he's probably not showing. We had nasty storms last night and I've been fighting a cold/seasonal allergies hard last four days. I also had a not so fun fall a few moments ago (hit my head even). So if anyone shows I will help you make pcs if you're new or we'll do a light game or talk RPGs/Tolkien etc.
