I can see if he might be interested in joining if that sounds good to everyone. Also, on Roll20, I still only see the area map, not the map of the barrow. I'm not familiar with BobtheWizard, but if you vouch for him, that's good enough for me. I'm reaching out to someone else myself, so maybe we can run with a party of 5!

grimlock Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm open to any of the aforementioned players. Why not both? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueblade0729 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 We can certainly do both! @codexgigas Go ahead and reach out to them to see if they have any interest, I'll do the same for my friend.

codexgigas Posted October 12, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 @rogueblade0729 Bob is interested! His username on here is BobtheWizard, no spaces, if you’d like to send him an invite. He’s really reliable. He’s in two games I’m DMing on OGMW, and I’ve played in several other games with him.

Papa Bear Posted October 12, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 I'm in one of those games and yes, I'll back up codexgigas, Bob's a good RPer and addition to a game. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogueblade0729 Posted October 12, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 @BobtheWizard Welcome, friend! Glad to have you. Take some time to orient yourself to the game, and let me know if you have any questions. :) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobtheWizard Posted October 12, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 Thanks for the invite. Always happy to play with Codexgigas (and Papa Bear but we're just a little into our first story together). I'm making a Mirkwood Elf Wanderer (Ranger). I think that will fit well with what you all have. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueblade0729 Posted October 12, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 Sure. Just know that this campaign will be primarily based in Eriador, so you won't see very much of Mirkwood. You will see Rivendell, though, so if you want a more personal connection there the High Elves may be better suited. Still, we have a Shield-Maiden of Rohan and a Dwarf of the Iron Hills in this Company, so feel free to play whatever you want!

BobtheWizard Posted October 12, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Do I roll stats? 4d6d1 x6 for two sets and pick one? If they're both bad, can I use 27 point buy? How are HP after 1st level determined?

Hate to not be allowed into part of the campaign. Totally understandable. I like to merge peoples' backstories into the game, so it will likely come up at some point, but you won't be blocked from Rivendell.

rogueblade0729 Posted October 12, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Also, there is something I would like to mention. Historically, new PCs in this campaign have started at level 1, because I think having a gap in power level is perfectly thematic for a LOTR game. All of the hobbits and many of the dwarves started as level 1 characters, but they grew into their own and could stand among their peers. This was the case with each of you when you first joined the campaign. With new players coming in, I’m wondering whether this policy is worth holding onto. I will defer to our current players on this matter. What do you all think? Maybe average party level -1? Or should we scrap it entirely? @Papa Bear @codexgigas @grimlock Edited October 12, 2023 by rogueblade0729 (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
