Here's her last post on the game thread: HERE - at least as far as I could find.....

Looks like you could write him in whatever way you need to......

Tolkien What Year?

I have one simple question... What year exactly will we be re-starting this?

I'm not sure I have this right, but I know this started in Fourth Age 14, a year passed, and now five years later, it would be Fourth Age 20. Or did more time pass than I recall?

When Eodwine fell ill, it was autumn, from what I recall. That was probably the fall of FA14 (or already FA15? I'm hazy on early SMH history). It was still winter when we stopped writing. Since Saeryn is pregnant, I assume it's the winter of the same year (). The bad winter was in year 19, and the year we're jumping in is then 20 (but I forget when the year "turns" - isn't it March? Even if it's in early spring, though, the winter was long and we would probably be starting in early FA20). I believe that Eodwine & co arrived in the spring of the same year as Eodwine fell ill, that there were no years in between. So your calculations seem to be correct.

So it will be Spring of 4th Age year 20, after a harsh winter. Got it.

Thanks, Pio, for your help.

I will try to get my bios updated before this weekend, and before I leave. I hope we can start writing the actual story soon. I was glad to see Firefoot's post on the old game thread!

How do we begin the new game thread? Do we need to plan who's posting first? What else do we have to sort out before we can begin?
