Since everyone else is doing it...here it goes...mind you I had to change up a little to fit the MERP game system...

Ash'etar is a young Noldor Elf of 106 years. He grew up in Lorian, where he learned the ways of the elves. He accelled in his studies, soon traveling Middle Earth as a diplomat and trader for his people. He was in Rivendale when the War of the Ring began. Upon hearing what was to come, he went south to Rohan, where he rode with the Rohirium as a scout and translator for the Men of the South. After the war was over, Ash'etar went West with his people to the Grey Havens. As with most of the younger high elves, he was allowed to put off his final decision until later. Leaving the Grey Havens, Ash'etar went back East, finding himself in Bree, where he met up with the Fellowship.

Are we off today for the holiday? I know some people have plans and all on New Year's day.

Yes, we'll be starting back up next Sat.

Got one opening for a warrior type, but if someone wants to change their pc now is the time to do it.

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 will start in and around the area of Bree and the Barrowdowns. However, pcs need not be from Bree.

Game Time/Day: Saturday evenings 9 pm-1 am EST.
Start Date: Sat Jan 8th, 2011
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.

Opening: Warrior type

Sounds alright, I am open to you expanding it a bit further. Did you fight against the forces of Angmar or in the War of the Ring at all perhaps as a mercenary soldier?

Did something happen to Cros?

I'm still here, but i'm having doubts about this, since i'll have to stay till 4 AM...




Wasn't the forces of Angmar destroyed like 1000 years ago?
He's like 19.

I thought my character was born in Fourth Age, but if i'm born in Third, i guess i could be... something.

We are in the early 4th age so no Angmar wasn't defeated 1,000 years ago.

Sorry, my bad.

Yes, he is a mercenary and he has taken few tasks to fight the forces of Angmar. Or maybe he is still fighting...

Did my character die already and I didn't know it? This is Maltar the Wary, Dunedan Scout.
