Volo · 11-02-2006, 09:49 AM

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.

Volo · 11-02-2006, 12:37 PM

My sure isn't real, it would just be so ironic to have a character with such a low job and being so ambitious in larp.

(that character was actually a part of my "how not to make a BD RPG character"-example. I even wanted to start a thread like this "How NOT to do something in The Barrow Downs or in Tolkien's world", but I decided against it, not having good enough examples.)

Folwren · 11-02-2006, 03:05 PM

Are you looking for more players? If so, I think I'll join...the fact that Jenny's modding it is practically enough to get me to play.

A couple questions before making up my mind entirely:

When will it start?
You didn't say, but it looked possible - are you wanting all the posts in Role-playing form itself?

I will seriously consider just how much time I am willing to waste and then let you know if I decide you join you...provided you'll let me, of course.

Rikae · 11-02-2006, 03:09 PM

I shall be the schadenfreude-prone halfling mortician, wielding an ancient elvish shovel. I'll get back to you with a name shortly.

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?

-- Foley

JennyHallu · 11-06-2006, 08:54 AM

Well, we have only 9 players right now. I'd like an absolute minimum of 12, preferably more like 15. I don't know how long it will take to get them, but we'll see. I'd like to get the game started by this weekend.

JennyHallu · 11-06-2006, 02:52 PM

Welcome Rune!

We need two more players to start! I've sent out a host of invitations, but I have no way of knowing how many people have committed to Fea's game. Cross your fingers.

And Anguirel, do you still plan to play here, as you've confirmed participation in Fea's game?

Farael · 11-06-2006, 02:55 PM

Well Jenny, if you still need one more player, I'm in. And for those of you groaning, I do intend on trying a new style, but then I may change my mind

With your blessing, I was thinking of being a singer for a heavy-metal band ("RL") and a sneak in LARP. What's a sneak? think of a gollum-like creature
