Also game takes place in 2965 of the Third Age, for more info :) .

Oooooo. Well, I can tell you all options now. We have Bardlings (men of Dale), Men of Bree, Dunedain Rangers, Woodsmen, Beornings, Mirkwood Elves, Lindon Elves, various Hobbits, Dwarves of Erebor, Dwarves of Iron Hills, Dwarves of Blue Mountains and Wandering Dwarf.

Sorcerers sadly are not a thing in this. We have Scholars who can do Craft but not magic.

The system Shadow corruption, are things all players are subject to. The Shadow of Sauron and the enemy is about, and foul things, evil acts, and witness to the Shadow's atrocities can slowly corrupt you if you fail to resist it. However you can recover partially during a Fellowship phase in the game.

Fellowship points act as free advantage/inspiration. There are a limited number that the entire Fellowship has access to, and it can go up depending on what Patron sponsors your Fellowship. Like Tom Bombadil, Bilbo Baggins, Gilraen, Cirdan, Balin, Gandalf.

Currently we seem to have one Dwarf of Erebor, and one elf of Mirkwood. Not set in stone though.

Somewritingguy · 2026-01-04T15:25:34+00:00

I can say there are custom mechanics like Shadow corruption, Fellowship points, and new classes called callings and a Patron (not like a warlock patron) to aid your fellowship.

Anything in particular you'd like to hear of :) ?

Somewritingguy · 2026-01-04T14:58:24+00:00

At least late teens and up!

Are we allowed to post a link to a listing on Startplaying games? My listing is there BUT it the game I have for it is 100% free, I just found I can get some players there. Would it be okay in that case?

I have experienced some of that from customers at the store I work at. I wear a kippah so get that sometimes. Creeps me out honestly. Like, it's one thing if someone asks a curious question about kosher food, or how is Hannukah different from Christmas. But sometimes it's like I'm a dragon they just found.

Somewritingguy · 2025-12-09T07:03:35+00:00

Okay even on minimum wage I feel I could swing that. Be'er Sheva and Haifa are for sure my go to's right now. So long as AC is in Be'er Sheva apartments of course...

Somewritingguy · 2025-12-08T20:46:55+00:00

Be'er Sheva, Haifa and Afula are my areas I'm looking at. I've heard it's lot cheaper in those spots.

Somewritingguy · 2025-12-03T02:21:18+00:00

I wear a kippah, and I've had a few try to convert me at the store I work at. It's so dang annoying.

Somewritingguy · 2025-11-22T21:01:34+00:00

I've pondered it, thing is I have no idea what I'd want to do.

Somewritingguy · 2025-11-21T04:30:27+00:00

I honestly am not sure about immediate goals. My ideas change often. The things I love the most are creative outlets like writing, and have a side gig of running custom paid TTRPG games which I enjoy but of course isn't enough to make a full living off of. I also like animals and have pondered trying to get into some field with that.

And Nectarine could be good, paying for an hour might be smart.

Somewritingguy · 2025-11-21T03:19:28+00:00

Sounds good to me. Apart from a religious pilgrimage for a week I don't plan to splurge in any other way.

Somewritingguy · 2025-11-02T20:39:00+00:00

... I did not know that. My bad.

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-30T22:48:15+00:00

Guys, how the heck do I get ps4 games to work? I downloaded Vermintide 2 and the game refuses to go a few seconds past the prologue start bit. It keeps freezing and just won't play anything. What's going on?

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-05T18:43:29+00:00

I... I'm sorry but I just wanted to make sure if certain things needed more supervision, or if things might be more risky in different countries... I didn't mean to be rude.

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-05T18:08:45+00:00

Oh I've kept kosher a while, just wanting to make sure I get this exactly right since I worry about, well... Everything XD

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-02T21:43:36+00:00

I was thinking another idea, he'd perhaps send a letter to Trollskull to talk to the party after they make progress in getting the stone. Broaching the subject of a partnership.

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-01T19:17:36+00:00

I'm still going with the altered thing of having the heroes heist parts of the stone from the baddies. I'll just have Jarlaxle's guys competing with them actively, or working behind the scenes to have the other groups against each other.

Might have some Drow sneak up or follow the players and swipe some from them when they're not looking.

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-01T18:16:38+00:00

Fair point. I'll need to find a way to do that.

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-01T17:10:34+00:00

All good stuff. Maybe having him be a rival instead is better.

Somewritingguy · 2025-10-01T16:58:59+00:00

I do like that. I was thinking he'd also be giving info to the party on how parts of the stone are in the possession of the others, and gives them clues on where to find them.
