New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Laiudanama · 07-01-2006, 04:48 PM

Nice siggy, Rombout

I'm yet to decide on a really good one...

Right. Erm...well, I'm a new member (thank you, Captain Obvious) from that little island floating rather self-importantly in the North Atlantic, England, who, to tell the honest truth, is actually drawn more by the prospect of role playing games on this site than by Tolkien discussion <hangs head in shame> It looks, seriously, alot more professional than on, well, pretty much any of the other sites I've looked at - that ain't just an idle compliment, I've read a couple of the RPGs here and they reach dizzy heights of internet writing, even without being compared to "teh adevnturs of froddo and his p33ps". Dear lord above, spare us the pain of leet-speaking hobbits.

Anyway, I hope to be around for a bit, even if I don't have much time to post at the moment - and if I find the time, I'd love to join one of the games too. But until that illusive time when free time becomes a realistic prospect, you may get used to me wandering around aimlessly in the background!

Hey welcome, new folkses...

Lai, if you're interested in RPs but have little time right now, I suggest you try either the Golden Perch or the Mead Hall. Both of these are fairly informal in format, and require either as much or as little dedication of time as you please: you should be able to write a character who need be present only when you have the time to devote to him or her. Also a great way to build relationships with other writers here for when you do have the time to commit to a full game.

Jenny - Thanks, I might try that; last time I came to the Downs, there was the Green Dragon there in place of the Golden Perch, and thus the appearance of a discussion thread kinda confused me! But thanks, maybe I'll stop by and have my first sup of Barrowdowns ale

Hi,
I'm new here. My friend is coverting me to love Lord of the Rings. She made me get this but I hope I can have fun here.

welcome Mirfain and Laiudanama, i hope you enjoy yourselves here!

you know what i kinda realized, probally only 1 out of 10 new people actually become known members on the site and stay and become frequent posters.

so basically kiddies, do just what i do to become famous amongst the downs... or infamous... whichever, either way you get this cool... bear-holding-shark poster...

Glirdan · 07-06-2006, 09:36 AM

Or post a lot of randomness, like me.

Hey! It works! Anyway, welcome to the Downs all those I haven't welcomed...which seems to be a lot of you...
