Yule is coming to the Shire and it’s a wonderful time of year! ...That is, until one day when little Nico Boffin disappears.
Hobbit parents have long warned their children that, if they misbehaved, the Krampus would come. Now, it seems, he finally has!

Calling every noble, courtier, and traveler!



Autumn has come to an end in the coastland realm and the courtiers of the Tham-en-Gaearon work tirelessly to prepare for the evening banquet that will bid another bountiful season a celebratory and song-filled farewell... However, reports of missing ships and vanished passengers have increased over the last several weeks.

"It’s a beautiful day in Fangorn Forest, and you are not a deranged squirrel - unless you particularly want to be!"

Take part in what will probably be nominated in next year's ARPYs in the categories: Best Original Art, Best Game, Best Comedic Post(s), Best Character(s), Best GM and maybe even Best RPG. I know you want to

It's SUMMER. It's HOT. You thought it was normally hot in Mordor? You thought it was normally hot on the slopes of Mt. Doom?! THINK AGAIN. It's hotter than the hottest patch of sand in farthest Rhûn when world is tipped at exactly the right angle for Arien's righteous fury to concentrate on it and turn it to glass. It's hotter than the ass end of a fell beast that flew too close to the top of the mountain when it was erupting. It's hotter than Írimë coming out of a nude hot spring Baywatch style. IT'S FREDDING HOT, PEOPLE, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY A/C.

Come one come all to On the Rocks try and beat the heat with drink, commiserations, and doubtless shenanigans.

The Lands of Arnor: Free RP

Ever wanted to explore the Lost Realm? The North-Kingdom now has its own dedicated free RP thread!
All are welcome, as are stories set in any time frame - from the beginning of Arda through the Fourth Age.

Dol Guldur is here!

"The Greenwood is sick, Gandalf. A darkness has fallen over it. Nothing grows anymore, at least nothing good. The air is fouled decay, but worst are the webs."
- Radagast, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The year is 3014 and the Shadow of the Hill of Sorcery is stirring once more, abuzz with foul intentions and devious mechanization. Under the watchful eye of the Black Easterling, Dol Guldur is preparing for the great wars to come. Orcs are gathering, along with wolves, spiders, vampires, foul spirits of the forest, and desperate men, all heeding the call of the Dark Lord.
With myriad locations to choose (from the Fortress to the Cave of the Whispers to the Spider Dens), there is enough space here to tell whatever story you want to see played out. Be sure to visit the Shadowthrone though, and present yourself before the Lonely Lord himself.

Come! The forest awaits...

Minas Morgul – The Dead City

Minas Morgul has arrived in Free RP form! Near the mouth of the Morgul Vale on the rocky knees of the Ephel Dúath, Minas Morgul sits, keeping a ceaseless watch in the arms of the valley. Once the silver-shining city of Minas Ithil, the Tower of Dark Sorcery now glows with a constant, sickly, green-tinged corpse-light, its every corner permeated by the dark power of its master, the Lord of the Nazgûl; the Witch-king of Angmar, and his minions. With a plethora of locations to choose from, from the Witch-king's tower itself to the libraries, military barracks, theatre of the macabre, marketplace, pub, kennels, fighting spider pits, and more, where will you choose to explore? What kind of minion will you be? How high will you rise?

The year is TA 3014, but all years of Minas Morgul are open to your machinations. Will you dare?

Come and create a character for a Pathfinder 1.0/Plaza RP hybrid. With simplified mechanics, and a precoded character sheet for ease of character creation.

The Eastern Paths are in motion in the Fourth age during the reign of King Eldarion - and he fears that Harad and the Kingdoms of the east are falling away from the peace that his father created and he has managed to maintain for sometime.

What darkness could threaten such a peace? There is only one way to find out.
(well two - if you want to do an evil player campaign that is welcome as well either simultaneously or instead of a good campaign)

Miss Rosie Cotton and her staff are ready to offer a foaming mug and a smile to welcome you in. Who knows where the night will end when hobbits, friends, acquaintances (perhaps well-wishers and distant relations), travelers and visitors get together?
