Please use this thread to create and/or discuss your characters. Another sub forum will be set up later for finished characters.

Keep in mind any rolls before 1/1/2023 6:37 pm EST WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

In the Starter set the adventures are set in the shire and pregens were all Hobbits (how cool it is to say that finally) however closely or distantly related to Bilbo and Frodo. If you are salivating to play all Hobbits if your own, tell me.

But I’ve a feeling someone wants to play a Ranger, Dwarf or Elf somewhere in Eriador and that’s equally cool as well. You guys decide amongst yourselves.

Also seeing how this is Tolkien’s Middle Earth, let’s respect that and observe those traditions with regard to names and culture.

And most importantly, LET’S HAVE FUN!

The Long Defeat: When it is time to remove accumulated Shadow during the Fellowship Phase, you can only remove a maximum of 1 point.

Distinctive Feature: Shadow-lore - You have recognised that there is a hidden thread unifying most of what is dark, malicious, and terrifying in Middle-earth and that thread is thickening year after year. A quality shared by the wise of the land, the truth behind this knowledge is becoming clearer as time passes.

Shadow Path: Path of dispair - Self doubt is often the way that the shadow chooses to reach the heart of those that oppose it. For they know that the enemy is strong and terrible and that those they protect are too weak and naive to fend for themselves. Every day they ask themselves: will my strength be enough to prevail, or will I drag down the innocent in my defeat?

Cultural Blessing: Bree Blood - Each Man of Bree in the Company increases the Fellowship Rating by 1 point.

Distinctive Feature: Rhymes of Lore - Rhymes of Lore are short verses created by many Cultures to help them remember significant facts from ancient history which might otherwise be lost. Scholars of Middle-earth credit much of their ancient knowledge to such rhymes.

Shadow Path: Lure of Secrets - Inquisitiveness and curiosity are desirable virtues in an individual, but knowledge can be put to malicious use, and learned individuals can look down on others as ignorant fools. Secrets are dangerous, as the very desire of uncovering them may corrupt the heart.
