Admin/Sign Up for WWJ XIII: 'Til Death Do We LARP - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

For many long millenia, Melkor has lain chained and dormant. And when he finally wakes, it is to a world far different than that he remembers. Nonetheless, he is soon up to his old tricks, searching out those who he can twist to his evil will...

You are all members of an active Live Action Role-Playing club. You've been playing together for years, and you know eachother almost as well as you know eachother's fantastical personas. But the upcoming Annual Fantasy Weekend promises to be the best ever, and you prepare excitedly for the yearly camping trip. For 3 days, you'll take on your characters 24/7, camping with your friends in the heavily wooded park east of town.

You've heard that your president, JennyHallu (also known as Adalawen the Elven Thief), has a very special scenario planned...rumor is it involves werewolves.

Little do you know what kind of unwanted attention your eagerly anticipated outing has attracted...

Important Info:

This game will be set in the 7th age.
Roles should include both your "real-life" occupation and the character you play with the club. Silliness is not only welcome, it is highly encouraged.
There shall be three werewolves and one seer, with other Gifteds/Curseds to be determined based on interest.
Deadline shall be somewhere around 5PM EST, which is 10PM GMT. Requests for another time will be considered, but I make no promises.
There shall be one retractable vote per day, and no double lynches. In the event of a tie, the player to garner the most votes first will be the lynchee for the day.
The game shall begin with a Night cycle.

I reserve the right to change the rules at any point before the start of the game.

Well, I'll be a teleseller in the 7th age and my role will be Tom Yrmacha'zul'charach'ping'yit'pul tha half-balrog (half-human). He wields (at the same time) two legendary elven longswords, a legendary human two-handed sword, a legendary orcish crossbow, a legendary dwarven largeshield and a legendary wizard pointy hat.

(Yes, he is ambitious)

Naria · 11-02-2006, 12:11 PM

Oooo, can't resist a bare-bones game!

Hmm, I will be the local Rat Wrangler and my name will be Kitty Watcha'mikolit (half dwarf-half troll)

. She has no weapons to speak of, just her trusty flute.

Naria · 11-02-2006, 12:24 PM

Looking back at Volo's occupation, do we put down our RL jobs or made up ones? I think I may have missed something Jenny with your quotations around RL

JennyHallu · 11-02-2006, 12:31 PM

It can be your real real job if you really want it to be. Or not. Up to you. I won't be checking up, if that's what you're asking.

EDIT: Just let it be at least marginally plausible.

Nogrod · 11-05-2006, 12:12 PM

Anguirel - aged academician, expert in Ruritanian poetry - Ptolemaius the Objectionable, human wizard
Nogrod - Retired General - Ciryatan of the Dúnedain, a one-legged Athelas vendor
Rikae - unstable aging stage actor - schadenfreude-prone halfling mortician, Ilberic Took, wielding an ancient elvish shovel
Thinlomien - aging homeless sot - Lothwen the Pretty, elven flowermaid

We seem to have a group of more mature people around this time... Let's see if they can behave any better than the youngsters?

Rikae · 11-06-2006, 07:28 AM

It occurs to me that I might be able to have more fun with it if my RL character is the mortician, and my RP hobbit character is the unstable aging stage actor. Can I switch them?

JennyHallu · 11-06-2006, 07:51 AM

hehe...ok.

Folwren · 11-06-2006, 08:48 AM

How long until the game starts, do you suppose? How many more players do you need before you can begin?
