    There was mention of a Fading of Elves that did not return West. I pictured them as ghasts or some sort of vampire. I envisioned using them somewhere, sometime during the campaign (s).

    Popularizing the evils of the Third Age?

     

    I'll see if I can find the article. But basically the Evil was using propaganda with younger Gondorians and malcontents to 'popularize' bad folks in the Third Age. Sort of like we've done with pirates, bandits, and thieves of bygone days.

     

    I don't want to spoil too much in case you were to actually play in a Fourth Age game I was running.

    I don't want to give up all the details of my setting, but the Sons of Denethor were the creation of a more insidious Evil. The majority of it came from various places on the net, but the SoD were from Tolkien himself. In that next novel he started children of Gondor were actually acting like orcs and popularizing the evils of the Third Age. Where JRRT left off, I took up the mantle.

     

    There was also talk of Sauron's daughter.

     

    In my campaign, the subjugated of Nurn were happy to be out from under the yoke of Sauron, but old hatreds die hard. I played a lot with all of that, but as the most versed in the lore, the players just took it for what it was as there wasn't a whole lot left of Tolkien's Middle Earth but the locations and the 'history'. I can see Andy's side of enjoying TA more because of that.

    I started another game more recently set in Helm's Deep. I posited a community consisting mostly of Rohan burgeoning behind the Deeping Wall and trading with Aglarond. The two players played Legendary type figures, one Rohan and the other a Dwarf. We only had a few sessions but fun was had by all.

    I ran a game at Herocentral (and sporadically do so with my ftf group) that used this storyline a bit. You can search this forum for details. The plot is extremely convoluted but here is a tidbit: A rebellious group called the Sons of Denethor had a distant relative of the King kidnapped by agents of Herumor (Dark Lord) hoping to start a rebellion and remove the King and return to the age of Wardens. I started my game 250 Fourth Age.

     

    The majority of the Sauron/Saruman antagonists were indeed removed by the White Lady and her Riders. Aragorn/Ellendil almost immediately began to go after these threats as well as shore up possible enemies to the East and South. Then, he began to rebuild civilaztion to the North and West.

    As an aside' date=' I've thought for years, that you were going for a deliberately pale, desaturated style as your signature. It only now occurs to me that might have been a purely technical effect! :)[/quote']

     

     

     

    You aren't the only one! The above is precisely what I was thinking!!!!

     

    Oh, and V2 is zounds! better.

    Well I didn't give up. I think I got my server up if anyone wants to give it a whirl. I probably won't run a scenario but we can test my settings. And I learned a bit about my router and firewalls. If not I'll see you all in two weeks.

     

    I stepped afk to watch The Decision. I checked for your place too, but it wasn't on the list.

    Re: Companions of an Uncertain Fate

     

    Well I can't seem to get the dang router to set UPnP or port forwarding. I will get it resolved (probably have to call Qwest tech support), but I don't think I am going to get this going tonight. I will keep at it, and next time we need a one off I will be ready.

     

    One other note. I will not be here next week. We are going out of town to a family reunion and I will be camping out in the middle of nowhere Utah. The nearest town is 50 miles away and no hot spots for net connection.

     

    Sorry for the tech problems.

     

    No problem. Thanks for trying. And, like you say, we'll be ready next time!

     

    Rag... You got anything?
