    Never read the books but felt the films were good. I gave up the franchise half way through the hobbit 1 and was never tempted by sequels to it.

    I want to be the role of the tower that houses sorans all seeing eye.
    if you can make that happen, in.

    We'll see what we can do.

    Yes, a big fan of the LotR books. The Hobbit book was a bit too childishly aimed for my tastes and personally didn't enjoy much. I've never bothered with The Hobbit movies. The Hobbit book is about 1/4 the size of one volume of LotR (of which there are three volumes in total), yet somehow they stretched it out to three films. A blatant marketing gimmick that I wanted nothing to do with.

    Warning, there is a bit of "poetry" in the books, which you can skip over if they're not your thing, as they don't impact the story that much. Those bits are probably the bits that put people off the books. I like them though as they add to the sense of history and the world that was created, as do the appendices of the books which hold loads of cool information about the world and its history - if you're into that sort of thing.

    That was one of my biggest issues with the movies, the book has like 150 pages how do you make that 9hrs of screen time?

    Ill have to give them a read alright, ASOIAF (the Game of Thrones books) had songs strewn into them all over the place and i'd no issue skipping them so ill be grand on the poetry I reckon :D

    Have you read the Silmarillon or any of the other lore books?

    The hobbit book was fun. The hobbit movies were fun.

    That is the correct way of looking at it IMO :)

    I thought everyone read these books? Huh. The ring trilogy are fantastic. Hobbit is good but mercifully short. Silarillion is.... challenging.

    Not 100% sure I can commit to this now as my new job starts just after New Year. I can't take the pi$$ and be on this right away. If I can play in evenings, that will be grand, but apart from lunch break I wont really get on.

    Provisionally I'm in but may have to withdraw. I really, really want to play as I'm a big LotR fan.

    My job meana I can't be super active during the day but evenings and lunchtimes are a possibility. Also dying around Weds would suit me ;) Endgame is agonising!

    Music was a major part of the movies, they really created some excellent orchestral music from them, here's one I quite like:

    The basic premise is that it's an RPG where players are given roles.

    Through discussion on the game thread the good players have to attempt to work out who the evil players are and kill them off via a lynch each night to win.

    The evils have a kill (munch) each morning and attempt to over run (gain parity) with the numbers on the side of good.

    This thread:

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057789174

    goes into more description on the game and the premise.


    This game is described as complex, and may have a number of roles comprised from this thread:

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057657718

    Or new ones devised by the game creators (mods) entirely.


    Also, this game is run under anonymous accounts so players are generally unable to determine whether the poster has never played before or is a 40 game veteran... apart from me, as everyone knows me anon or non anon :pac:

    Any further questions feel free to ask me here or via PM. :)
