Drop by and check it...

Just browsing through and saw this thread, and decided to give it a read through.

For those interested, I have started a First Age Chronicle, entitled Lost Legends. If you want to read it, the...

Hello all,

I have just started a new page at yahoo groups. It is a place where narrators and players can post or read about adventures in Middle Earth. My idea is to have a series of chronicle...

I'm planning a new chronicle set in Rohan during the Long Winter. I have some time before actually getting into the winter (I'm starting it in the mid to late summer when all of the invasions...

My 16-year-old nephew (with a little bit of help from me) is running a chronicle that takes place during the War of Sauron and the Elves. The PCs started in Ost-in-Edhil just before the fall of the...

I'm still around, along with most of my gaming group (one is on his way to the big sandbox).

In fact, my nephew is trying his hand at Narrator. He and I have cooked up an idea centered around...

Classifying it as a seperate weapon tends to be the most popular method that Narrators use. You could write it as follows:

Armed Combat: Clubs (shield) + ##

Then the size of the shield would...

Great issue, gentlemen.

GOB, I was pleasantly surprised that you used my vampire modifications and cloak of darkness write-ups. I am honored that you thought so much of them.

These two weeks in Minas Arnor had been frustrating, for Lorwen at least. Tasked by King Arvedui of Arthedain to secure help and soldiers from Gondor, she had been blocked at every...

Here is my idea for brewing poisons. Please tell me what you think.

A poison has six basic characteristics and each has several choices. Start with a base TN5 if the PC has the order ability...

I'm not succeeding at getting my question phrased right. I understand the process for creating and executing an extended test. What I am trying to ask is: what would the tests and TNs be for...

Can you give me an example of how an extended test would work? It would be appreciated.

I'm just a Marine grunt, I need things spelled out :).

I have a question for the group at large. One of my characters is a rogue and he has inquired about brewing his own poisons. He has put ranks into the craft skill: +1 (Attribute) +3 (Craft) +2...

Great ideas, I've played around with the storm idea and the going ashore for supplies. I thought of letting them barter for supplies with some dwarves in one scene, then a few scenes later, a storm...

I love this conversation. Very interesting and informative. But I have one suggestion: If you want to narrow it all down to one factor alone, it is this, some poor SOB sitting in a hole (or a...
