Lord of the Rings - The First Age

[POMC S117]

Yes. You're in. Feel free to start at anytime. We'll start posting in spoilers for OOC posts when I post my opening post.

[Eltee]

Roger that, Pomcey.

[POMC S117]

LtGt, have you read the Children of Hurin?

[Eltee]

Nope.

[OblivionDuruza]

I'm still working on my sheet as we speak, amongst other things. Just a question, is Turgon the current King of Gondolin? Or are we earlier than that?

[POMC S117]

Hmmm... I thought there would be someone out there. But you have a LotR encyclopaedia! I had one.

Turgon is king.

[Eltee]

Well, it's technically a reference book... But still!
I have an atlas, too. So, .

[POMC S117]

I had the complete encyclopaedia with dates, places, people, races, genealogies and the evolution of the map, the map of Ea, the map of the land of the Valar, the map in the first, second, third and fourth age. 'Twas good. I learned about the ole pukel-men.

[OblivionDuruza]

So then I assume that we aren't too far out from the Fall of Gondolin?

[Eltee]

That was my understanding.

[POMC S117]

Not too far. Hurin's a baby. It'll probably part of the final plot.

[OblivionDuruza]

Sounds good

[POMC S117]

We need some orcs or barbarians.

[OblivionDuruza]

Sorry, I'm going Noldor for this one Already got it mostly planned out

[POMC S117]

That's okay.

Can you imagine RPing as a female dwarf?

[Imp]

I'm not really up to date with LOTR, do you think joining this won't be a good idea

[POMC S117]

You don't have to know anything about LotR really. Just PM me if you're unsure with anything and I'll gladly help.
