The Fellowship of the Ring: Game Thread

Part 1: The Fellowship Of The Ring


"Three Rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-Lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for mortal Men doomed to die
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie"

Nine compainons set out from Rivendell. They are the Fellowship, tasked with the enourmous burden of taking the One Ring of Power into the lands of the Enemy himself. They represent the hope of all Free Peoples - the Elves, Men and Dwarves of Middle-Earth - and must complete their task for the sake of all of them.

They know that even this first part of their journey is fraught with peril. Saruman in his treachery has created bands of Uruk-Hai who sweep the plains, slaughtering all in their path. The Witch-King of Angmar, greatest of the Nine, searches for the One from the skies atop his Fell Beast. And always, behind the Mountains of Shadow in the far south, the great Eye of Sauron remains ever watchful.

But the true danger was within the Fellowhip themselves. The power of the One was with them, and separate from its master it has only the power to corrupt, destroy and decieve. The Fellowship could no longer trust their own.​

The Fellowship aim to survive the journey as far as the borders of Mordor.
Mordor aim to destroy the Fellowship.

No side can win if the other holds the One Ring.

Nice. Good to see this start so soon.

 

PMs going out some time this afternoon. There are a lot

 

That's fine, so long as you don't quote or act like it's a quote.

So this would be okay:

"My role PM says:

You are Raide.

You are automatically killed n1. Complaining is both compulsory and amusing.

So I can't be mafia"

Because that could easily be made up. This would be not okay:

"My role PM says:

So I can't be mafia"
