Hey folks,

As some of you may have remembered, I mentioned some weeks ago the possibility of dabbling with an PBEM (Play by E-Mail) RPG based on our favorite fandom following the War of the Ring. The response was pretty damn good and some of our best alumni have joined me in the game we're calling the Legends of Arda. So far we've gathered some amazing talent for this game but we could use a few more players so I'm out here pitching because some canon roles need players.

Anyway here's the pitch ....

~~~~

The war had drawn to the close but Sauron was not the only evil who blighted the lands of Middle earth. There are forces hidden in the darkness who have been waiting for the opportunity to take control now that the power of Mordor is broken. There are still battles yet to be fought.

This is an RPG based on the universe created by JRR Tolkien in the Lord of the Rings. The timeline will be set after the War of the Ring. This is an ADULT game. Age restrictions apply to anyone under eighteen. Made up characters are allowed but let's make it reasonable. No characters related to any of the canons. Furthermore, made ups should try and originate from Middle earth and not any mythical kingdoms not created by Tolkien himself. This site will pay adherence to canon within reason. Artistic license has to be taken to make the game enjoyable. As always, we try to keep it within reason. No crossovers from other fandoms. No matter how tempting, Harry does not visit Middle earth on a field trip from Hogwarts.

Furthermore, this RPG encourages character development posts, ones that give insight to the character you are playing even if it is a canon character. Players will be required to post twice a week and all bios for made ups will be subject to GM approval first.

A writing sample will be required from all players of no less than two paragraphs, preferably about the character you are writing. This is not an RPG where one line responses are acceptable. Knowledge of the Tolkienverse is preferred but if not, we will have links to many references sites that will assist in filling any gaps.

At present these are the characters we urgently need filled:

 Gimli
 Gandalf
 Frodo Baggins
 Samwise Gamgee
 Elrohir

Hmmmmmm.........

If I can be put on hold until september, I think I am able to join the game.

That might take the major canon out of consideration, though...

Elentari, who really should be writing right now.

Dear El,

You can certainly join in September but clarify what you mean about major canon? I don't follow you.

I meant that the game is already in full swing, and I thought the major/ better known characters must be taken by now. I breezed by the game website and saw people taking in pretty fast

I should have some marginally frequent time to spare by the week after the next. What do we still have around?

and I might be a little late posting this by the looks of the date on it. Might I have a link to see some info?

Also, as far as my interests go, I'm technically in need of a good rp group where I can stretch some ideas out for my fic, so my choice of character might be unusual (canon still, but unusual regardless). Is there someone I could chat with about this?

I would love to join. If you would have me.
