Lugburz,

If you will look at the thread on this forum called "How to Propose New RPGs for Rohan," this will answer many of your questions.

As the thread explains, you submit a completed form explaining your proposed RPG. This should be forwarded to a particular e-mail address at the Downs, which is again stipulated in the thread. The proposal will then be reviewed by the two current reviewers (Susan Delgado and Gandalf_the Great)as well as other interested parties such as Bethberry the Innkeeper or other admins.

You will be contacted, perhaps with ideas on how the proposed RPG might be improved. You will normally be the one to edit the proposal, taking into account the ideas that have been suggested by the mods and Innkeepers.

Once the RPG itself is approved, and the discussion thread is posted, you will serve as founder (or co-founder if two proposal writers are involved). As long as the game is true to the guidelines of the Downs and Rohan, you and your fellow posters will have a great deal of freedom as to how your story actually plays out. A mod or Innkeeper may request an edit of the game thread if they notice something that is not in keeping with the site guidelines, or something which would make the game much stronger. In actual practice, this is usually worked out on the discussion thread or sometimes by private messages in a very amicable fashion.

I'm from the Shire, and one of the other Rohan folk may want to clarify this further, but I believe I've accurately described the basic process.
