Tara,

We're just hammering some of this out now. We originally started out with a group of bandits, and they evolved into a band of outlaws whose villages were destroyed by Orcs and hillmen.

The following may help you somewhat as well as the discussion it engenders.

*******************************************

Here are the revised parts of the proposal to incorporate the changed figures, our ideas on "new and improved" outlaws, and the instructions about carry-along children:

********************************************

Characters:

I. Dedicated Characters:

These are played by posters who helped with the planning of the game and submitted their profiles and posts before the discussion thread opened.

Rangers - 2

Berilac Woodfarer, the Hobbit ranger, will be played as a dedicated character by Piosenniel.

Minastan Helmman, the human ranger, will be played as a dedicated character by Beren87.

Outlaws - 1

______________, the leader of the outlaws, will be played as a dedicated character by Taralphiel.

Human Child Cameo - 1

Edmund, Andreth's son, will be played by Nurumaiel as a dedicated cameo role.

********************************************

II. Regular characters that we need posters to play:

Big Folk of Bree - 3, no more than 1 female

Little Folk of Bree – 3, no more than 1 female

Suggestions for Constructing a Profile:

Big and Little Folk should choose a realistic occupation such as farmer, cook, miller, peddler, baker, laborer, stable hand, teamster, minstrel, peddler, etc.

We need one of the Big Folk to serve as mayor. If you're interested, pm Annunfuiniel for details.

Important:

Each poster who plays a resident of Breeland, Big or Little, must submit a complete profile for their adult character. See the form below. We'd like a range of attitudes among the adult hobbits and men, with some inclined to be more friendly and others less. Please specify this in your profile.

Each poster will also create a "carry-along child" of the same race (possibly a sibling group) that you will use in certain sections of the RPG. Just attach a paragraph at the end of your regular profile that includes the following: name, age, race, plus a few words on where they live, what they’ve been taught about the ‘other’ race, and what their thoughts on it are.

Outlaws - 1 - 2 additional - male

Again, please include a few words on what happened when their village and/or family was destroyed, and their attitude about attacking Bree.

Character types that would not belong:

Any character not listed above.

********************************************

Each of the game owners will play two characters:

Annunfuniel will play the hobbits Rosco Woodfarer and Mausi Honeysuckle

Child of the 7th Age will play Andreth Woolthistle, the widowed proprietor of the Prancing Pony, and Kali Honeysuckle, a hobbit child.

********************************************
The proposal part ends above. The rest is just me.

We have 6 posters already signed up as founders or owners of dedicated players: Annunfuiniel, Child, Beren87, Piosenniel, Nurumaiel (cameo role), and Taraphiel.

We will be looking for 7-8 more posters to join:

3 to play hobbit characters
3 to play human characters
1-2 to play outlaws

Is this feasible? Pio, you have a better sense of this than I.... The boards have been slow lately, but some games are ending in mid-September.

Our final roster will look like this:

4 hobbits
4 humans
2 rangers
2-3 outlaws
1 cameo child

13-14 total

Do we need three total outlaws, or two?
