Successor game rules, draft one.

Hmmm...would it then be possible to actually designate a character for yourself who has not yet matured and roleplay him? Just thinking aloud.

Like this?

That's the only time it ever happened as far as I know, but I think it would be a fine thing to do. There's hardly anything written about a character before they become active, despite the potential for unique stories.

I'm glad you chimed in AG, I think your experience was the best-case example of what happens when people have to wait, both with your 'Merchant of Venice' character Arnold himself.

Yes, that's what I mean - if I can do that, then I am absolutely positively for it. It will attach you to the character even more and create a grander background then even KOTR!

And I've gotten better at the whole PBM mindset, I believe - had LotR not ended so quickly, Helarionas would have developed into a fine character I believe.

You guys really want to do away with/limit rgbs? I can do it although it will likely mean about half the people that have expressed interest thus far would have to wait on an avatar.

I'm going to try to get TinCow to weigh in on the annexation issue since there have been good arguments on both sides. I'll also see if a forum can be set up for the game. I think we're about ready to get everything together to start.

It's okay to limit them, but freely given you have less of a connection with them. Just a thought, we could "create" our own field promotions instead of relying on the randomness of the AI for them, and they could also be "sponsored" - not sure how that would work precisely, but it would get you in and rolling with a House and army fairly quickly, but with the obvious setback of being very limited in upwards mobility.

From what I know, in terms of this game's location on the .Org, I think it's likely that this LotR forum will just be renamed to the abbreviation of whatever we decide this game's name is.

I'll also take a closer look at the rules in the meantime, as I haven't really gone over them in-depth yet.

I am back and will read through this thread and respond more fully later this evening. However, on the subforum question, GH is correct. This forum will be renamed. I had previously some other TR house-cleaning, including closing the TVS forum, but the forum implosion got in the way and Tosa has been busy since then. Once the name is decided upon, I'll put in another request to rename this forum and get the whole TR cleaned up properly.
