Are we still playing tonight despite the lack of players or awaiting a couple new recruits first? I have a couple or a few players in my face-to-face Friday night group that said they might be interested. A guy from an MMO I play told me in Ventrilo a few days back that he might be interested as well.

We are still on, unless Lando decided to the contrary. We have three of us, and with the npcs, that is a decent group until we get more players. I wouldn't go below that, but hopefully we won't need to.

---Shameless Plug----
Although this is an older system and is somewhat complex, it is no more complex than the ancient forms of tabletop we played back in the 70s/80s (D&D 1.0, those little packet games, even wargame boardgames). MERP 2.0 is different than the normal games of today. We have pdf's of the rules if interested, just pm lando or one of us players and we will get you the information.

Despite it's learning curve, this game has a lot of good roleplaying. The group is fantastic, we just need people that are fans of Tolkien and can handle a few weeks worth of a learning curve. The GM is good, the players are excellent, we just need a few more willing to fight the evils of middle earth.

I'm running late, so I'll have the room up in about 15 or so. Been gone all day gaming with folks in person and trying to have some fun.

Let me grab my food and I'll get the room up by 9:30 pm est.

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.

The party has just returned to Bree after successfully clearing out a minor noble's barrow in the Barrow Downs. He was from the late First/early 2nd Age and was of Numenorean descent. They are seeking some additional help as several of their comrades fled/fell in the battle with the barrow wights.

The War of the Ring has ended with its destruction in the fires of Mount Doom and the fall of Sauron and his Nine, however, Middle-Earth is far from free of evil. Orcs, Trolls, Dragons, Men and other evils still lurk and dwell in dark places and will give King Elessar much trouble for years to come.

Will you stand against the darkness and help thwart these evils? The 4th Age of Middle-Earth calls heroes like you forth!

Game Time/Day: Saturday evenings 9 pm-1 am EST.
Session #6
Game Server: Mayhem
Game Room: Middle-Earth Roleplay
Timeline: Fourth Age 1
Game: MERP 2e rules with possible Rolemaster expansion later on.
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.

Just to let you know: I've been visiting here even after my pre-1st game fallout to see how you're faring. I hope it all eventually works out for you. It's a great system + a great campaign (the original in fact). How many game sessions have you had so far?

The time was bad for me (I'm on EST+7)My wife needs to work the following morning, leaving me on mommy-duty. I'd be too tired to do anything if I had to do an all nighter.
Pity, cause I made this great warrior PC.
