OT: Lord of the Rings RPG Chat (09/22)

[Steve Long]

Hi, guys. Forgive the off-topic post, but I wanted to pass on some information that I thought might be of interest to the assemblage.

As some of you already know, I'm the Project Leader (i.e., lead designer) on the LORD OF THE RINGS ROLEPLAYING GAME for Decipher, Inc. Several of you have e-mailed me questions about it, and so on.

This Saturday, September 22, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM EST, I'll be participating in a live chat at the Decipher website, www.decipher.com. If you're interested in the game and/or would just like to find out more about it, please feel free to stop by and post a question or three. I can't talk about the Trek RPG, but I'll be glad to answer your LOTR gaming questions.

Steve,

I'll be there! Thanks for posting this! I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts on the challenges of creating an RPG from such a famous work (works actually) of fiction.

I look forward to seeing you there, then.

I'm told there will be a big banner on the main page leading attendees to where they need to go. The "chat" will actually be more of some sort of advanced real-time message boarding thing -- I'm not sure since I've never done a Decipher "chat" before. But I'm sure it will go smoothly enough.

I may have been to early or to late. But I certainly didn't see anything on the website pertaining to this

It may have ended by now (8:00 PM EST), but the link is right there on the front page -- re: "Bilbo's Birthday Party."

Though I'll be the first to say that it could perhaps have been clearer. Sorry you missed it.

Yes. Unfortunately I was mislead; it wasn't really a "chat" so much as a sort of real-time message boarding sort of thing. Effectively it wasn't much different from a chat, and in fact in some ways the message boarding format made it easier for me to provide lengthy answers to questions if necessary. But unfortunately the information that propagated out wasn't as good as it could've been; my apologies.
