About the adventure

Nearly 200 years have passed since Sauron and his One Ring were defeated at Mount Doom. It is now the Fourth Age of Arda, better known as Middle Earth. Prosperity and commerce have spread throughout the lands of Men. Peace and happiness have returned to the Shire, and Hobbits, well, Hobbits are still Hobbits. The Elves have mostly fled Middle Earth for the Grey Havens, but the few that remain linger for a purpose. Eager Dwarves have rebuilt much of their dwellings within the mountains. But they have never forgotten their once-greatest city, Khazad dum. Now known as Moria, that city has become a cautionary tale of greed and recklessness to children before bed and bemoaned by Dwarves in taverns. King Durin VII, ruler of Erebor and King under the Mountain deigns to reclaim Moria. He yearns to have his people's greatest accomplishment not be a blemish on their shining legacy. Unlike his predecessors, he knows this venture likely cannot be done by Dwarves alone. So he has sent out emissaries to the Free Lands seeking adventurers brave enough to face the long dark of Moria...

Additional Details

How to prepare

A microphone is required. A camera is not, but it is requested. Roll20 and Discord are required for maps, tokens, and party communication. We will go over rules in the Session 0. Dice or dice rollers are used with player discretion. We are on the honor code, so please keep fudging rolls to a minimum. Sadly, finding fillable pdfs of character sheets for this game is quite difficult. So we will have to improvise...

What I provide

Roll20 will have maps and tokens for us to use.

Gameplay details

Safety tools like the Luxton Technique will be covered in Session 0. Character creation can be done in Session 0 or prior. If needed, I can provide pdfs of the source material. But the only limited character races will be Elf and Dunedain. Elves are mostly gone from Middle Earth, and all of the Dunedain have died. However, your human character can be connected to a Dunedain, but not Aragorn. Anything related to an Elf PC (player character) must be discussed and fleshed out with me.

How will character creation work

Characters can be created at Session 0 or prior. Level 4 characters exclusively from the Player's Guide. We will likely need to create characters in the Session 0, as fillable sheets are hard to find.
