fellowshippers | lotr_reunion seeking players

lotr_reunion is an LOTR RPG that is set in 2006. We've been going for quite a while and are looking for some fresh blood after a bit of shifting around. Every few months, the cast as an actual reunion at various destinations (usually decided upon by the players) and in the in between time, it's just the day to day interaction among the pups at their various locations. We've got a great group of people and would love to have some other great people join us. Beneath the cut, you'll find more information about the community, including a list of taken characters and how to join.

When: Current year is 2006, day/month will coincide with the current day and month, only 2 years in the future.

Where: Wellington, New Zealand (base of play, but other characters are other places as well)

Setting: The reunion party has already happened, and now everyone is living their day to day life in Welly or other places. There are bi-monthly chats that bring the cast as together as is possible. And there are always chats going on between 2+ people in their own private plot lines.

This game is dependent upon people pursuing their own plotlines, as well as cast wide plots put into effect by the mods of the game. Any suggestions for plots/chat themes are welcome from any players--simply approach the mods and tell us! We love to hear feedback.

A note on journals: They can be used as actual journals of your character, that others could view, or you can mark the entries as private posts/actions etc. That will be determined mainly by majourity rule. Remember, this community/game will be greatly driven by player input.

This is NOT AU (alternate universe) but it is set a few years in the future.

You must post once a week to play this game and all IC chats between characters MUST be posted.
