My Namesake Character

[Eodin]

Just for the fun of it, decided to write up my namesake character from 20 years ago. My friend DMed an AD&D campaign and he was a big fan of the Amber books - hence the red hair and psionics.

Re: My Namesake Character

 

Cute!

 

I barely remember mine - an Elven Archer in MERP/Rolemaster who had some weird arrows dipped in Bragolith found in Dol Guldur (is that the retreat of Sauron's in Fanghorn Forrest, before he went to Mordor?) - anyhow a looong time ago.

Re: My Namesake Character

 

Dol Guldur was actually in Mirkwood.

It was Sauron's lair while he was undercover as The Necromancer, early in the Third Age (before he returned to Mordor).

 

I ran a short Fantasy Hero campaign set in Middle Earth, using one of the ICE Middle Earth modules. It was set around T.A. 1700, using the Court of Ardor module. Never managed to finish it; real life caused the player group to break up.

Up until quite late in the Third Age, actually. Gandalf and the White Council assembled to force The Necromancer out of Dol Guldur shortly after Gandalf led Bilbo and the Dwarves to Beorn at The Carrock (see The Hobbit).
