There are versions for Mac. See the "Get OpenRPG" link at http://www.openrpg.com and follow the instructions. Animist are just clerics (more druids actually) and can do mostly healing/herbalism and such. Lots of examples in MERP actually. The animated films are pretty decent considering when they were made and they're pretty true to the stories. I picked up the remastered animated LOTR at Walmart this weekend. Watched the animated Hobbit last weekend. Waiting on animated ROTK to come from Blockbuster. I'm looking forward to starting once I got all the pcs.

Yeah, the cartoon has been surprisingly loyal to the story. I got mine at Walmart too.

Which thread on OpenRPG forums? Can you send me the link.
Also which LotR cartoons are you referring to?

I'm going to go with a +30 plate armor (for 2 background points) as my family arms heirloom.
May this armor come with leg & arm greaves and a helm to make it a complete set?

The old cartoon movie adaptation. You can read some about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077869/

As for where to get OpenRPG, you can get it here: http://www.rpgobjects.com/index.php?c=orpg&m=getorpg
However, I did not see a Mac version.

I meant the thread for our game (not the one for the OpenRPG VTT)

You must mean the old thread. The old one is here: http://www.rpgobjects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=757

This thread is the newer one for the game.

Lando: Any word yet from the Dwarves? I look forward to playing alongside trollblood2008 and the others, as well as learning MERP 2e inside-out. I really want to master this classic Tolkien system.

The Linux/OSX install is probably a Mac one since Mac's OS is on a Linux/Unix base. There are instructions for Mac users on the OpenRPG forums.

This is the game thread, which should be apparent from the first post. If you want to take +30 plate armor that's fine and I'll permit it to come with greaves/helm since its an heirloom. Realize you still take the penalties to the MM and Perception checks with the greaves/helmet on.

I got your pc and a trollblood's (animist), haven't seen the mage, the scout, the rohirrim warrior or anyone else.

MDDarmoc, Kyanna, and Amaraxis.....do you all still intend to play? I have not seen you all posting here lately either.

Do we have e-mail addresses for these 3, Lando? Depending on what we find out in regard to these players and how you feel about it, I'm pretty sure I could grab a couple players from RPG.net if needed/wanted.
