[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

I've played three characters so far in a Tolkien roleplay, all of them here, all of them in the same story and one of them even vaguely approaching human. If I had to name my favourite of those it would be the mighty horse-lord, Baklava, whose ability to pour forth oceans of withering contempt without opening his mouth is a lesson to us all. It's very gratifying that at least one other person thought that the terrible trio was worth a mention. You do me too much honour, Diamond.

However my favourite RPG character (invented and played by me, that is) came from an old-fashioned dice-and-clipboard campaign, which I can't talk about too much because it wasn't based in Middle-earth. He was immortal, born so who knows how (this saves you the trouble of making ageing rolls, kids [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), and had lost his wife and son to a mob, who attributed his everlasting youth to a Satanic pact. His name was Sir Tristan de Tocqueville, and I loved playing him, but sadly all RPGs must come to an end and he had to retire eventually.
