LOTR role-playing

Any of you guys interested in doing a lotr role playing storyline?

I role play on another LotR forum occasionally. That's all I really am interested in at present.

Don't we kind of do that at the picnic????

I'm not much of a role-player (Baingil would know that after her attempts to get me to join her in RPing at the other site she mentions ) but I do like silly, spammy role-play-ish threads like the picnic. And to some extent, most threads on Forumshire have a RP element since a lot of people here post "in character" to a greater or lesser degree, even if that's just saying absurd things.

With things like that, Avandi, just start something. Best you set no rules, just jump in with something. If you spike an interest, others will jump in. We're Free Spirits here, so don't be offended if folk go off on all sorts of tangents. Oh yes, about rules, we have them - supposedly - but they're very flexible here. We thrive on imagination and creativity, so go ahead... (I'm already trying to think of a character, but I'll await your first move).

Another thought, when your ready tostart, make up a "Roleplay" name, make a thread, and barrel on immediately with your role playing without prelim or explanation. That'll work for me, at least!

Of course we have rules! A full four of them (originally only two)!

I have to agree with Orwell here, though (can't believe I'm saying that ), Lorient. Go ahead and make a thread and people will come in and add to it and it becomes something collaborative and awesome. And if it's silly we might even see Odo go off on an adorable rant about respectability, and that's always worth it.

I will NOT participate, but I WILL see to it that anything unrespectable gets dealt with severely!

How will you do that?

Err... can we be NEW LotR/The Hobbit characters with our OWN story, Mr Avandi?

Mmm... good point...

If only you had managed to convert Mirabella to the Respectable Side.

When you do post you're an awesome role player.

If you mean, "can we make up our own characters, please, please, please!" , then, yes, you can.

Mmm... that "please, please, please" bit doesn't sound like something I'd say - or think - but nothwithstanding, please proceed. Start your thread. Enough of idle chat. Let's get going. I'll follow in whatever vein you start...

Are you trying feminine wiles, Baingil? Isn't that cheating?
