Board Thread:Middle Earth Roleplay Board/@comment-26295802-20150905225307

I had a brilliant idea to pioneer a whole new style of roleplay: the battle roleplay. It won't cover a whole war, or even minor war, but rather will be focused on a single battle! This will be a very intresting experiment, and if it suceeds, think of the possiblities! Historical RPS like the Battle of Againcourt, or Hastings or Catalonian Fields. I really hope this style of RP will become a sucess. It's a bit complicated, but it'll get easier when we get the hang of it.

Let the experiment begin!!

This RP will cover the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, a turning point in the War of the Ring. It will begin at 8:00 PM on March 13 of 3013 of the Third age of the Sun (Minas Tirth will be surrounded in about 9 hours, evil forces are making their way into East Osgiliath, the Rohirrim are riding through the Druedain Forest).

Rules (Not the normal rules, please read!):

Since this RP is infinitely smaller timeline then other rps, it will be divided into 1 hour increments. I will anounce when one begins, and the other ends.

Keeping in mind the smaller timeline, be sure not to make any posts that would take more then an hour to complete. (I.E.: "Imrahil travels to Erech and gathers troops" is incorrect, but "Imrahil begins a journey towards Erech to gather troops" is correct.).

This RP will be less about your character changing the course of the battle, and more about your character's interactions within the lore battle. Just a head's up.

As with most Rps these days, I'll be caculating the results of your actions with a d20.

You can't be in command of more then 5 soldiers.

I hope you're not confused. Feel free to ask questions if you are. Go ahead and post characters, but don't start the RP until I say so. Good luck!
