Golden Perch Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

piosenniel · 05-26-2006, 11:49 PM

About Elves in Barrow-Downs RPG's:

Please use this description from Tolkien when crafting an Elf:

Return of the King – Appendix F: Tolkien’s description for the Quendi (The Speakers) – the name given to the Elves by themselves after they first awoke in Middle-earth.

“They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as Kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finrod; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that is now heard . . .”

Please use this as a guideline for describing your Elven character’s appearance.

May 5 (14 Thrimidge), 1356 SR will be the morning for the setting of the Inn's first post.

The weather is bright and sunny but with a little cold in the air. Cool enough to have a fire indoors.

NOTICE

Will open June 1st in RL (Real Life) to take on players . . .

THREAD NOW OPEN FOR POSTING TO ALL - AS OF JUNE 1st

Saw the thread was open and thought I'd check in.

This looks great! I can't wait to play Rowan.

I would like to ask one favor . . . that we try to remember not to use each other's characters too much - that is talk for them or act for them. I really like the sort of gaming where one player leaves a sort of "hook" for another to pick up on and carry on with.

Just a thought. Very much looking forward to playing in the Golden Perch.

Good ideas, Undómë.

I also wanted to offer congratulations to Folwren and everyone else who worked so hard and came up with such interesting characters for regulars at the Inn!

Although I won't be playing an Inn "regular", I certainly hope to have an "outside" character who pops in now and again. Folwren - I have a couple of possibilities in mind. I will drop you a pm shortly and see which direction you prefer that I go before actually posting anything on this thread.

Again, thanks to everyone for their hard work. It will be so interesting to see how the storyline develops.

Yes . . . very excited to have the Perch open for play. I have to say that Hobbit characters are some of my favorites to write.

Looking forward to seeing what Child will 'pop' in with

And I'd like to chime in, in favor of what Undómë said about allowing a character's writer to speak and act for him/her.

Am already thinking about my first post . . .

By the way - I really like the post with all the links in it. I think it will be very helpful. And I'm supposing that everyone who puts a character description on the discussion thread will be listed there, eh? Will make it much easier to personalize posts that include other characters.

Good work everyone!!

Haha, I've already written mine.

I'm looking forward to writing with you all - there are some great characters. Celuien, nice to see you as the assistant cook - the last time I had checked, Folwren still didn't know who that was going to be.
