Nonesuch
Welcome to Gaming, Barrow Downs style –
I’m Piosenniel, ‘Pio’ for short, one of the moderators for the Shire.

I'd like to run an RPG in which Elves from Rivendell travel to the Misty Mountains for an adventure and have run-ins with Orcs and other nasty types. How does that sound?

This sounds like it could be a very promising start to an RPG for the Shire. We have some ready made ‘Seed Games’ for writers wanting to run a Game:
Seed Games
With a very few modifications, we can work up your proposal using the Shire’s RPG Proposal Form. Would you like to do this?
I do want to address your further explanation of your game:

Um, ok. How about this? The elfs r looking 4 the magical sabre of light of the orange fairies which is a magical weapon that can defeat any dark guy? The elfs found out about the light sabre from an ancient Jedi who came to middle earth running from the dark side.

All of the Gaming areas have basic rules for posting in them. I’d like to see your further posts reflect these.
First, please write in complete sentences, using good grammar and correct spelling. No abbreviations, please, or half-sentences – you can use those in the Barrow Downs Chat room:
Chat Here
Please use your ‘Word’ program when you post, to run a spell check or a grammar check. Even better, get a second pair of eyes to look over your posts. We will hold you to the higher standard we expect here.
Second, please keep all the references in your storyline true to Tolkien’s vision of Middle-earth and its characters and history. If you have any questions concerning whether something you want to do is ‘Tolkien true’, please feel free to ask us.
Having said this – you will need to remove your references to: magical saber of light, orange fairies, Jedi, and the dark side.
My last questions for you.
Will you tell me what Tolkien books you have read? And have you seen the two movies that are recently out?
Also, have you participated in any RPG’s before, or run a Game before? If you have, what style of Gaming are you most familiar with?
Looking forward to working with you!
