[color=teal][size=1]This is to be the main place for all OOC discussion regarding "The Retelling". Before the RP itself starts you can use this thread to ask me questions regarding how the RP will work and the like, what would be acceptable for an original character and things like that. I also have some very useful links for those of you not fully versed in "The Lord of the Rings".

[B][URL=http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/]The Encyclopedia of Arda[/URL][/B] - A highly detailed website which will tell you pretty much everything you want to know about Middle-Earth, the Undying Lands and all of Arda.

[B][URL=http://www.tuckborough.net/]Thain's Book - Guide to Tolkien's Middle-Earth[/URL][/B] - This will be helpful for those of you intending to sign-up as characters from the books that did not join the Fellowship.

[B][URL=http://www.councilofelrond.com/]The Council of Elrond[/URL][/B] - In light of the fact we may be using Sindarin and Quenya in this RP I would recommend you give the Language Section a look. [I](Also the Elvish Names section is fairly fun)[/I]

So if you have any questions about the RP, something you'd like to say about it and so on please do so.[/size][/color]

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

Seeing as I'm to take on the role of Boromir for this RPG Bill, I was wondering exactly how he'd fit in to the later segments of the story that proceed after his death ? That is if I'm allowed have him survive his Uruk encounter on Amon Hen. I know the question seems a bit vague, as though I'm asking you how you think Boromir would have affected the flow of events had he not met his end, and I suppose all things considered that's exactly what I'm asking although I hadn't intended it to be that vague. Obviously he'd have been part of the Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas group that eventually arrives on Rohan, but would he take away from Aragorn's dealings with Theoden and just fall back into a supporting line like Gimli and Legolas ? I know we're ages away from that point but better to clear it up now than having to do it then. [/SIZE]

I would like to ask if i could sign up as one of the original characters such as Faramir. Im not sure how it would work when he has to let frodo go and then the issue later with his father (and thats depending on weither Boromir dies or not). In battle he could support the others. i was wondering what would be acceptable for him?

If a sign up regarding faramir isnt really that much of a good idea it would be interesting to see how someone such as Eowyn or Glorfindel, seeing as it isnt mentioned what he did during the war of the ring.

thankx :)

[color=teal][size=1]To be honest Gav I can't really answer that question yet. The simple way of putting this is that for the most part this RP will be "played by ear" rather than sticking ridgedly to story so it's more "if we go to Amon Hen" rather than "we will go to Amon Hen". So we'll be crossing various storypoints as we get there. On this note I'll be asking peoples opinions on where we should go to next or what we should do when we reach this kind of point in the RP.

While having Faramir or Éowyn in the Fellowship might be a fairly fun experience I think that it would be too detremental to certain aspects of the story that revolves around the fixed characters. I have suggested Glorfindel in the thread itself so as long as you come up with a good writing sample I'll to happy to have Glorfindel in the RP.[/size][/color]
