Hey evryone, I haven't had time recently but I do now so I'm going to do Khazad-dum encounter pbp whenever people respond to this and say they're ready, I need at least 1 person.
I'm not going to be able to do it today, most likely, but I could later in the week.
I can always do it with Legolas and then do it again with other people, I'll wait a bit more tho.
Sorry, abrupt schedule change, I won't be able to play today or tomorrow. Thursday-Friday sound good?
Hey Gradius, is it ok if I put that you're running this Khazad-Dum one-shot thing on the cults 1st page so more people notice it? (Also, pardon me if I'm being nosy, but other than this, it's been nearly two weeks since you did a real post on here. Up til then, you never stopped posting about LOTR stuff LOL. Did we do something? I kinda miss nerding out about Tolkien with you for hours on end :).
EDIT: Also, Thauraeln, are you available on Thursday or Friday? If so, we'll probably have a full party by then.
Thursday maybe, Friday definitely not.

What Would Have Happened if Smaug Survived: Thoughts?
Here's mine: Middle Earth go boom.
I’d type it out in more detail, but I don’t have the time, so the above is just a summary.
Likely nothing for many years. We know that Gandalf set Thorin and Company against Smaug in hopes of removing a powerful piece from Sauron’s chessboard. So, while Smaug would not, I think, have brought his ruin further than Lake-town at the time of The Hobbit, he would have come forth in the War of the Ring.
Gandalf says near the end of Lord of the Rings how, if it were not for the valiant offstage fighting of the Elves of Mirkwood, Men of Dale, and Dwarves of Erebor, there might have been “dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador, night in Rivendell.” This implies that other, weaker dragons were still around and fighting by LotR, but were defeated. Had Smaug survived, without Bard and his Black Arrow, and (in the book) Bilbo’s intervention via the thrush, who would not have known of Smaug’s weak spot without Bilbo’s flattery, things would certainly have gone differently. Dragons would have swept across Middle-Earth, and Gandalf’s words would have come to pass.
Yup, definitely. Oh hey, I just realized this is your first post on here. Welcome! (Also, is that Boromir on your user-photo*?)
*Avatar? Cover photo? Cover pic?
Yep that is Boromir. Tolkien is awesome!
Definitely. Also, since you obviously know a lot of Tolkien, would you like the title of Elf?
Sure, thank you! I don’t know how active a cult member I’ll be but I’m happy to talk Tolkien. :) I guess I’ll be Beleg Cuthalion, I’ve always liked him.

Maedhros is awesome, that's why I chose him as my title. I mean, seriously, who wouldn't want a name like that.

Yep I gotta jump on the Maedhros bandwagon here.
He's the only sane son of Feanor. Maglor is just a singer, Celegorm & Curufin are jerks, Caranthir is greedy, and Amrod & Amras don't do anything. Thinking about it Caranthir is my second favorite

I need to reread the Silmarillion. I can barely remember Maedhros.

There's always the Tolkien gateway, that's what I use to short look-ups instead of sifting through the Silmarillion.

Now I remember him. He's the chap who got hung from a cliff for a few decades, before he got rescued by someone and the eagles turned up, isn't he. Now I can't remember who rescued him. Aaargh. Looking it up on the Tolkien Gateway.

Sorry, The tavern is addictive. Whenever people want to, I'm free. My sting sword finally came in, it's gotta be the coolest thing ever.
Does anybody else think that Gollum would be a halfling-orc? Just slightly withered. I think he would be, just because halflings don't really have his weird teeth and his weird salmonella immunity.

I think his teeth and ability to eat raw meat just come from the fact he lived in the wild for so long, he had to adapt. The same thing can happen into humans who have to survive like that.

It's kinda hard to do it without showing my face. (I know you're a nice person but I just don't want strangers seeing my face.) I can give you a description though. It's just barely big enough for my little brother to hold it with two hands, for an adult you'd need to use one, it's definitely worth it to buy the scabbard bc it makes the exact sound as is the movie when you pull it out, it's very pointy so hang very sturdily (It punctured a bean bag like cake) and it's false edged but it's still sharp enough to cut.

I guess that's true, 500 years is more than enough time to evolve.
