Greetings, minds of differing talents? How much to you enjoy this The Noldorin Forge section? I'm not a large fan of the name, but oh well. :rolleyes: Here is a project for at least the book section types and the Role-Playing Games types. (I've never tried this before! :rolleyes: ) --->

Role-Playing Games Geeks ---> Toss your questions at the experts! Ran across something in that The Silmarillion book that you wonder about if it was explained further in some History Of Middle Earth book that you don't own? These crazy book geeks are always happy to help. I'm one of them, too. I am allowed to say that. :rolleyes:

Book Geeks ---> Come on. Join an R. P. G. thing. You people have fun with theorizing and debating and listing, yes? Why not jump into the stuff that you're interested in by way of showing us your opinions on what's possible. Yet again, I bring up my profile thread ---> http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=17410 Sure, many point out that they haven't had the chance to acquire much confidence in their writing skills. No large deal, I write. I shudder as I look back on my first attempts at role-playing. But it was still fun. :rolleyes:

For starters ---> I plan on unveiling an R. P. G. thing set way into the future of that Middle Earth place, when elves have turned into fairies and most of the stuff that that Tolkien dude wrote about has been turned into legends. A young heir to a shipping business working out of that Forodwaith place loses his father to wanderlust. He's probably got a bit of Numenorean in him. After a bit of prodding, he makes a journey to round up adventurers willing to brave the legendarily terrifying waters surrounding the places that his father has likely gotten himself lost in. Lots of sailing to places besides Middle Earth.

A chance for many to check out Valinor, the Dark Lands, the Enchanted Isles, and whatever else. I am looking for magical types who have had to adapt to Mannish culture and wish to use this kid to take them to other lands, where fantastical beings are more common.

I am also looking for a bit of information. What am I missing, book geeks? What was the name of that island that the Ythlings came from? What were those few things that were mentioned about the Dark Lands? Anything about the Enchanted Isles besides people falling to sleep if they touch them? Any sea monsters besides Fastitocalon and Uin? Oh, yeah, mermaids and any random Ulmo vassals that I can come up with. That sort of thing.

Hm. Nobody noticed this, I didn't give a good pitch, or you humans aren't large fans of helping each other out? *sniff* :rolleyes:

Here is the O. O. C. thread for what I was mentioning. --->http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?p=473968#post473968

*wanders in and finds herself not not reading but becoming somewhat interested*

But of corse you know I'd have to play ether someone more then half like a lot of my others or a more or less random little creature (anything that isn't quite what we know of as human). Don't exactly know why, but I tend to have more fun with their sort(s). =^.^=

Fairies are nasty, trixy little creatures. So every interesting to think for/of and play with. Mermaids... hmmm... I know a few ways to twist their tails. ;) :D

Maybe a water fay........ Trixy little thing that wants to get away from something and is determined to not go back..?.... *knows she's crazy* *ducks behind a handy barrel*

Ah! Yay for the interest. Come up with one or more profiles, by way of all means, AraCelebEarwen person. Why not? I thought that I already had you marked down as joining, but oh well. :rolleyes: I am a large fan of the interest that you have for playing obstacles or random beings along the way, but I could really use some adventurers from Middle Earth, in the first place.

*scans the Who's Online section for the more book-brained people (Ouch?)* :rolleyes:

So are you then looking for the wanderer sort more then some of the others? I've got a few faces I can try to pull up from somewhere but I can also fill out some more for the water fay thing I was talking about. She can be a good lot of things in all truth, but once she has a face, she kind of gets stuck like that. In other words, she's not one of my shape-shifting kinds so much. well... She can be though... I mean, as a, er... we'll call her a water sprite. So as a water sprite, she could be able to change form a little to be able to fit both land and water. Maybe she can live well enough on land but can't live too long without water. Sort of the merfolk thing. Though some of them are able to walk and live on dry land, they can only go so far or so long without more then just a little to drink.

oh! How's about something like this? She looks rather unremarkably human, but has some strange habits. Staying out when it rains; swimming even when it's cold; coming back dripping wet even after being in one of the driest places around. Maybe she can somehow 'call' water? That could be useful if you're going to be out at sea and relying on a prepacked supply. Not that anyone would know what's going on though.

As for the little fairy idea, I hadn't looked anywhere but here what I said that and only just found where it looks like it's being used. Maybe I'll skip out on quite that idea even though she may yet come back at some point just to mix things up if needed.

Discussion of my particular R. P. G. thing would be better to have in the O. O. C. thread for it, since this thread is mostly for the minds of differing talents to help each other out. But then, no, I'll take an original character of any sort. I need the wanderers and adventurers or anyone who wishes to go to one of the legendary locales not on Middle Earth for whatever reason first, though. We can find a way to stick the obstacles or random beings only to be found in those sorts of locations later. I would be achingly pleased to find people interested in those sorts of characters, since I figured that I would be the only one to wish to play them. Your water Ainur thing could decide to join as the main character is looking for people, or we could find it during the journey. Whatever you decide. It sounds like it could be cool.

oh, erm, right. O.O.C. thread... Yes sir. *snaps to attention*

Glade you like it though. I'll build her up a bit and get back asap. Yes, I could help with random little mischief sorts if you like. =^.^=

*dodges over to the right place and out of anyone else's way to this thread*

Greetings, all. Mayhaps I should have started a new thread for this. Mayhaps not. I shall find out. I figured that this would be a good place for my idea, since it is along the same lines as my earlier ones here. --->

The Fantastical Travel Channel, Around Arda In Some Impressive Amount Of Time, Tauron Tours. Something like those. Since plenty of the mostly book geek types around here feel as if they are too inexperienced to write in the R. P. G. sections, I figure that this idea could equal a good middle ground. Introductions to, tours through, superly cool analyses of Middle Earth type places, preferably through the lens of some achingly interesting personality but not required. I have an example that I'll have up soon. Probably tomorrow. A View From The Vale by Truor Tupnm. I would muchly enjoy reading some fascinating as well as in-depth and imaginative journeys through some of those barely known places that the Tolkien dude came up with. You book geeks would have all kinds of fun with showing off your useless knowledge, yes? :D

Sounds most intriguing...do they have to be for the destination, or can they be against, perhaps written by an orc?

Well, they can be written by anything. I had an idea for a later one where the place talks about itself. As to a horrible smear ad, sure, why not? Heavily biased but still offering plenty of real information about the place, its people, culture, food, and stuff.

Here ya go. ---> http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=18898 Sure, I wrote that this would be made a lot sooner than it actually was. Whoops. *hides*
