The Hall of Fire

We could run a poll to see what time period is the most popular. Another option would be to have an inn that's not fixed in time, to allow for the broadest range of characters. I'm trying to remember which of my old RPs wound up in Tharbad. :) Good times! I'm more inclined to just have people start...

An inn is always a good place to test-run characters and have interactions. Some of the best RPs I was in on oldTORc were started at an inn. There was an Inn RP started on the 'new TORc forum that was getting traction before it got shut down. I have a number of described inns in my archive that cou...

(This is a series of shorts I wrote in the ten years since I created Hanasían in the TORc roleplay thread 'Shadow Over Arnor' in 2000. it has been revised and revised again, and I have worked details in from various roleplays he had been involved in over that time. There has been substantial charac...

I think this guy just likes to read his own typing, or 'hear himself talk'.

This was an interesting read , especially with the numbers that determine whether S1 was a success. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power started setting records before a frame of it had been released when word came out of New Zealand last year that its eight-episode first season cost a record ...

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/the-rings-of-power-season-2-cast-1235273164/ The role of Adar has been recast—he's now played by Sam Hazeldine—and six other new cast members for Season 2 were also announced today. Embedded tweets with photos are in the spoiler box below. https://twitte...

The way I'm going to do it here will be in two stages that is a mix of several other RP sites I'm a part of. • First is I will post a thread listing my characters, most likely with links to their dedicated pages on RP Repository. I will edit in any new characters that may come along. • Second, I wi...

Remembering back to my youth when Fleetwood Mac's lineup changed when Peter Green left. Went to a Seattle concert and I was close to the stage and I along with a lot of the crowd were reluctant that they could pull it off. There was a certain amount of heckling in the crowd because Jeromy Spencer h...

I think the way characters are presented on LotR Fanatics Plaza (I believe Eldy you are on that site?) will work. Post as your account, and header the RP post with what character you are writing. There can be a separate thread for character profiles like on LotR Plaza and old TORc) that can be link...

It makes sense to me to have alternate IDs for RP characters, as long as we know who the ID belongs to. That should be stated in the OOC thread. I've also seen it done in the screen name, e.g. let's say, Sunny posting as Arwen. Otherwise, things can get confusing.... :rofl: I agree. I'm just not su...

In my experience, strict and detailed rules like those quoted on the previous page usually aren't necessary in this era of Tolkien forums. Twenty years ago, major sites like TORC or the LOTR Plaza had to manage a constant influx of new users, many of whom had no previous exposure to message board c...

Well done Bardhwyn! Personally I think this set of rules covers the etiquette of 'collaborative roleplay story-writing' quite well. It may need a bit of clarification, polish, and such here and there. I do have a question about this part: Please note: Per the newly amended Terms of Service: While a...

Snowdog, what's TTF? Sounds scary! Pony people were the best. Also looking forward to your stories. And TTF I think is The Tolkien Forum, though I've never lurked there. Indeed it is. I registered there in December 2001 when TORc crashed under the tidal wave of hits from the first day Fellowship of...

Welcome Anriel!

Yeah! Now we're talking! As long as good etiquette is observed and people don't crash the rp stories with OOC chatter and outright plagerism, etc, like what happens on TTF, it will be a wonderous renaissance of the old Prancing Pony! Is this also going to take the place of the old TORc Reading Room...

I watched 'All Quiet On The Western Front' the other night, and I have to say I have mixed feelings about it. It was a really good World War 1 movie, and even would qualify as 'excellent' if it had another title. This is not a 'remake' of the old classic 1930 movie. The 1979 movie was a 'remake'. T...
