Hello, all! This particular campaign is using the rules from the 'Adventures in Middle Earth' for the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. What are we looking for? : New and old players who are looking for an engaging experience, dungeon crawling, role playing, and loot. We are currently looking to recruit as many players who are willing to play. Given the nature of rotating players and a flexible schedule, that means people who are online can jump into the game forum and attempt to start an impromptu group so that we can play. It also helps to take care of the nature of online tabletop games, retention rates are usually a little worse than RL games. You do not need to have experience or a ton of knowledge about Middle-Earth. I'm not a Tolkien scholar, and my knowledge doesn't go much beyond Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, and very little in the Silmarillion. So if you're new to Lord of the Rings, or you're new to D&D 5th Edition - Don't be shy. Join up. Roleplay : A vast majority of character interactions and NPC interactions will take place in text. We do use voice, but generally as a means to communicate with each other OOCly and to take care of small/mundane interactions. The text gives us something to go back to read later for those who aren't able to participate in every session and it also helps you to characterize your character a little more than most people are comfortable with in voice. Timeline : The timeline for our place is actually taking place after Sauron's final defeat, the ninth ring of power has been destroyed and it is now the year 3024. Orcs, goblins, Uruks, and a great many dangers are still present in the world. Not only that but we're pulling from other third party sources to make the game a little more engaging and creating some homebrew enemies/lore. So if you're looking for a totally 100% authentic Lord of the Rings, or Tolkien experience this might not be the game for you. If you'd like to participate in this campaign : Awesome! Feel free to post your interest down below, or PM me. You can do the same if you have any questions. Thank you guys for reading. The Living Campaign The Living Campaign: What is a living campaign? You could compare a living campaign world to today's MMORPGs, even when you're not logged in the world continues to move forward with or without you. Quests and story-lines can be completed throughout the week and it is very much a drop-in and drop-out experience. We're going to be playing as often as we can and the story-line will move forward regardless of who's there and who isn't. Player choice is key to making this work. Your choices will matter and will have a lasting impact on the game world and the story-line as we move forward.
