A little help with the layout would be grand. I have all the material. I just need to write it out.

Yeah, I know. It's been a while. Terrible of me, I know. But I haven't forgotten. The past couple of years required me to be very . . . mobile, so I haven't really had a chance to sit down with the...

Sure, it's still open. I'm looking for 3-4 players tops because I like the intimacy of smaller games.

The problem will be getting started. I like CODA, and I really want to use my 1st Age SB, but...

I think pBp can work, but I'd have to do a different style.

Something that really worked for me was an epistolary style. Things like letters and journals written from the 1st-person POV. I think...

Ineti,

That's fine. I have that stuff on my HD anyway. You didn't think I wouldn't have a back-up, did you?

Anyway, I'm working with HOF to get it published in installments. I have copious...

Psst . . . Jason,

I'm working on a First Age Sourcebook right now. Unfortunately, the Decipher boards are down, so I can't give you the link to where the sticky threads are.

Where can we pick up PotW? I think I'd like to take a look at it, but I haven't seen it at my FLGS, nor can I purchase anything online at the moment.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Decipher boards?

The best time I've had Narrating was my First Age game I did a long time ago. I'd love to recreate that experience sometime soon (preferably on Friday nights, but I'm flexible - Sunday is out,...

Yes.

Feanorgil,

Yes, but I have to finish everything then go through it to make it read better than a scratchy notepad.

In any case, I'm . . . working on something to that effect.

I've posted my latest work with the 1st Age SB at the Decipher boards. I think you'll like it.

Click here to access my 1st Age "sourcebook." If I do this again in the future, I'll probably change more, but as it stands I like what I have so far.

Sorry. I've been a bit tied up as of late, and I forgot I still had a membership here. You can find my "sourcebook" at Decipher's LotR RPG boards, but I think I'll compile everything here too, and...

Here's Finrod. The names for his weapons were made up. Also, the differences in some of his skills and attributes and how they work in CODA are intentional. I'd done racial traits differently, but...

OK. I've decided to put the volumes of information and NPCs from my Silmarillion game to good use and start on a quasi-sourcebook for the First Age. With each thread, I'm going to write down what I...

Calguard:

Considering that Narsil was forged by Telchar, the greatest Dwarven smith ever, I'm surprised Narsil was not an enchanted item. Several of the stats for legendary items seem awkward...

For my First Age game, I've created the following artifacts:

Cu i-Melain ("Bow of the Powers")
Thingol recalls that this extraordinary weapon was, "crafted by Aule, it was one of many gifts given...

What are some enchanted items you created for your chronicles?

I'm currently running a 1st Age game, and I'm finding that what I need more than anything else is material for creating lots of peons. Servants, cooks, tailors, etc. The craftsman order is just not...

I noticed a strange thing with combat skills as I was looking at the core book. All the combat skills are grouped by weapon types, and all are modified by Nimbleness. So, aside from making things...

After taking a careful look at the core book, something struck me as awkward about the way the Wisdom reaction is determined. It is based on Bearing or Wits, but the description of Bearing does not...

Limiting bonuses to specific skills
Each Dominion has particular skills associated with them, which can help tremendously when players and Narrators are trying to decide what types of mechanical...

response to rant deleted

If it seems like you're stepping on my toes, it's because I feel like you keep trying to prod me in a direction that is not my current concern, especially after saying that the system works. My...
