Hello, and welcome to my game!

I have only a few minutes before class this morning, but I have read through the entries so far and I'm very pleased.

One thing that sticks out to me that could be changed is the ages of Crystal Heart and Kransha's characters. The only reason I see is that young Hobbits are not recognized as adults until they are 33, so for the Whitfoots to be established and wealthy...I would expect them to be at least in their 40's or 50's. Now don't be alarmed, these ages are not old...Remember Bilbo lived to 133, so these hobbits would be considered young or middle-aged.

One more thing, when I get home this afternoon, I will most like send each of you a private message once I have had a closer look at the posts. So, be on the look out.

Thanks again...I'm looking forward to this very much.
