Basis: Lord of the Rings
Basically, this is years after the fall of Sauron most of the heroes of that time are either dead or not in their prime. But the Dark One is still abound. Only in spirit now, though with a force of will he can manifest himself. The forces of good are now scattered , the elves are no longer in this realm and the dwarves dwell deeper into their mountains. Each race looking to it's own and rebuilding after the War. It's a time of adventures, shrewd businessmen, and grizzled veterans. The forces of evil are also scattered as warlords rise and fall. Yet, the call of the Dark Lord is growing stronger as he makes his move for control. And a gathering is happen in the depths of Mirkwood now that the elves are gone, a gathering of the Dark Lords disciples.
In the game the party will choose which side they will be on; good or evil. Or perhaps everyone will be what they want. But each side has it's own races which I've got somewhat worked on. Then, depending on the side you're on, it will change the story we try for. So I'll cook up more for this either way. So... yeah.

Okay, maybe it's jsut cause I'm lazy, but I'm commenting on this rather than Josh's huge post cuz its too big to read. But this idea, I can get behind, theres solid reasoning and no holes i can find, and fuck yes, i love LOTR. So Lets do it, I'm all for it.
Dammit, all of the fun stuff after I leave.
So... when abouts is this taking place? Which one of Sauron's falls are we looking at here? Sauron started taking of Mirkwood lands around 1100, well after the Siege of Barad-Dur. Basically, about how far before the White Council decided to go a-whoopin'-and-a-whompin' on Dol Guldur is this?
Or is this far after the War of the Ring, where Sauron was just his lame old "Spirit of Malice?" Cuz then we'd have the Silvan elves to deal with in Mirkwood.
I ask simply because I've wanted to play a LoTR game in or around the Misty Mountains, since it's less well-known, but still iconic of the setting. I'm not trying to diminish your idea or anything, I'm trying to add in some in-universe historical context.
Unless, of course, this is something you all are doing without me. If that's the case then, by all means...
yeah I think we're gonna leave you out of this one.
kk let's do it gang.
Actually I was referancing when Sauron is known as the Necromancer to tell you the truth. But I'm open for any suggestions. I was just looking through stuff and saw it and was like that's badass. As far as I'm concerned it could right after the War of the Ring. But all the stuff wouldn't be the historical stuff we all know. So just throw ideas out there and well see what happens.
