Suilad felllow LOTRO playing mellyn!
Personal Intro: I am a new member of the VG . I came to LOTRO from the non-computer gaming world as a avid Tolkienite, MECCG, MERP, and Knizia LotR board games player. In essence, I seek to experience JRRT's ME when, where, and and however I find it. I came to the VG b/c it seemed to be the only kinship on Landroval who takes JRRT seriously and since playing LOTRO since Aug of 07 I have yet to find a group who does, has a critical mass of people, and will attempt to use LOTRO as a background/drop for non-GM'd (well Turbine is the GM I reckon), non-Epic meta-story RP'ing---if that makes sense.
Gaming Desire: It is my desire to be a part of a small cooperative/collaborative group (3-4) of players who simply engage in (a) regular, (b) semi-scheduled, (c) quest/leveling related, (d) ME lore rich/appropriate character-driven Role Playing. The overaching idea is that we try to fufill JRRT's own desiderata to have "Other Hands" come along to fill in the gaps of his 2ndary World w/ characters and stories in this digital environment. I know this is no easy task, but I don't think it insurmountable by any means and could work very well, especially for those for whom the content is not a total surprise.
RP Parameters:
--create backstory for character, post on forum, then cooperatively GM a reason to get together, have characters play relative ignorance, and interact and then let Turbine's content and world take us where it may...
--use VG kinchat (blue) for coordinating purposes (as needed only)
--use Fellowship (green) chat exclusively for the chracter dialogue and [ ] for OOC sparingly; use /e mote system
--don't use PM (yellow) for the most part
--use IG Voice for OOC and strategic/tactical communciation
--characters would be same or near same lvl. They could be all upper 50's or 60, mid-20/30/40, or all lvl 10 lowbies (i.e. starting from scratch and coordinating class/race). No matter just so long as all are basically at same lvl place.
I'm sure there is more to be said/discerned/decided, but I will leave that to "Others" as they see fit.
Feel free to post here, email me @ tirnowl at gmail, or PM IG as either Oxdis, Willmot, or Boronind (I have a couple of others but I am currently seldom on them). I am open to almost all and every idea.
Well, until then. Namarie
