"Tolly", my character, was not designed to be an angsty fellow. He has no neurotic fear, anxiety, guilt, remorse. He's not depressed. Nor has any semblance of deep and essentially philosophical anxiety about the world in general or personal freedom. He's quite comfortable in his skin. Is 'angst' a defined term in use in the Ambarquenta style of roleplaying?

Or maybe we wouldn't try to use characters designed for this format in a different one. I don't try to play tennis with a cricket bat And I wouldn't join a tennis club unless I wanted to play tennis. I wouldn't join a tennis club and constantly lecture the members on how they aren't playing cricket either,

Character development is a very important part of most of the BD role-playing games. Not to mention that it is one of the things that makes the LotR itself and other Tolkien works so great. I would never call character development some of the 'little, unimportant stuff'.
The Golden Perch is not meant for a deeper, more complicated, conflict driven plot. I've explained this to you, bantyr. But just because this game does not depend on that, does not mean that the writers here could not take the very same characters and play them in a conflict driven plotted game if they so desire. This discussion thread is not meant for a debate about how the game should be played. This thread is for discussion about what is going on in the game, for any questions about the game, and about introducing new characters. We have discussed Goldie long enough, I think. If you want to introduce a character that you feel will fit in more with the style of writing and characters that are found here, then by all means do. -- Folwren

Okies.. Elin and Annie and inevitably the bunny have made their way to the kitchen. You may want to make use of her height and get her to dust the top shelves while she's there.

It is still amazing how active this place has been. I'm really happy and excited. Someday, maybe I'll be able to pitch in and write some, too!
