I really want to bring the Tolkien tavern back, but I have no time to write the Angmar plot (or indeed, any adventure whatsoever). So if anyone has a Tolkien themed adventure lying around and likes DMing…

Just joking. But in all seriousness, the number of racist Easterling characters that were absolutely horrendous to play with due to their rude and obnoxious portrayals means that, while I would be fine creating a low-stakes Tolkien adventure (though not quite a tavern, more like a play-by-post), I will never do that tavern nor allow others to play such awful caricatures in any game I will ever even consider laying a finger on, so no, I will not DM a Tolkien game for you unless the players swear an oath that Easterlings and similar peoples are either portrayed in a racially respectful manner or not used for characters at all.
Thinking back on this comment, it sounds a lot ruder than I intended. What I mean was, there were some racist characters that were not fun to play with and made me feel uncomfortable in the original tavern, but if those characters were not present, I'd be willing to run a PbP if the other one I'm plotting falls through.
What’s everyone’s favourite battle or fight scene from the movies?
Battle of Helm’s Deep is cool but I hate the inclusion of elves so… It’d be my favourite if it wasn’t for that.
Why do you hate the inclusion of elves? Because it’s not authentically Tolkien?
Yup. And cause it makes no sense that the elves would help the Rohirrim, they have literally never had contact with them. If they’d turned up at Minas Tirith, I wouldn’t have minded cause it makes sense they’d have helped their ancient allies. The elves helping a kingdom of nobodies who have one of the lowest contact numbers with elves in Middle Earth is just ridiculous.

Yeah I see your point. I was honestly hoping that people would stick to the standard good races of Middle Earth, but that didn’t work out so well.
Actually yeah, all those characters have left the tavern. The only issue is finding people to play with… Maybe it would be better to do it as a PBP.
I would be very interested in a Tolkien-themed pbp! But with some caveats, as the only time I've ever experienced overt racism in this space was in a MERP game.

I'd totally love to play a middle-earth play-by-post style campaign! On the other hand, I'm only active like every other day on average, so it'd probably be better for your ability to progress in the story if I didn't play. Unless the other people interested in joining are also not very active, I'll probably just check in on what happens rather than actually play.
Are you planning on homebrewing classes/subclasses to fit with the middle-earth theme or just use official content? Of course some classes would be the same regardless such as fighter, but wizards in midle earth for example follow very different rules.
To bad. This still might happen if I get more time tho.
If I have more time later I can play Luriel, but rn I only have limited time I can spend on D&D stuff and I really don’t have time to do anything but watch.
I got 2nd runner up (3rd overall) so…. Really good surprisingly. I’m the third best dancer in my age in Canada now.

Hi everyone! I'm working up the will to finalize my signature, so... I guess this will be the signature for now
That’s cool, but Tolkienites is actually the typical name for Tolkien nerds so I like it…
