Logan do you need more time?
No. I simply got enticed by the prospect of playing 5E (haven't played it yet) and in Middle Earth (love Tolkien) but the fact is that I really don't like PbP gaming and I don't want to join a game and then quickly quit.
Thanks for running this game Ashman (I see you are running several 5E games...so thanks for that). I will probably be following along as a lurker. Good luck everyone and have a great time!
This is wanderer82, submitting his hobbit bounder Brandibald Hornblower.
All the information is accurate in the attached profile, but because of the avatar problems on paizo this weekend, I will not be able to change the name and icon until Monday. Let me know what you think!
Looks good Duglin! We could use a wizard !

Wizard it is, or using the terminology from Middle Earth, a magician. Wizard is a term reserved for the likes of Gandalf and Sarumon and their ilk. Sorcerer refers to evil users of magic, such as Sauron and the Witch King. The term 'magician' is used for those practitioners of the mystic arts who are mortal (but are descendants of Half-elven parents)...in this case, my character will be of the line of Gilmith, Daughter of Imrazôr, The Númenórean, Prince of Belfalas and the Elf-maid Mithrellas. Their union created the lineage of the princes of Dol Amroth.
That works I was thinking class not flavor when I recommended it.

yea, its been down since friday, quite annoying
Now that we have our Party..When you can between now Wen post in the Discussion thread so I know every is up and then we can start!
I think I'll break out a character I made for a different LotR Pathfinder game and remake him for 5E. I have the Players handbook, though not at where I am staying. I have to go home tomorrow for it among other things.
The alias is Rogar Willdman, a two-handed focused Ranger. Let me see how this will work out and I'll get back here with an update. I'll need to tweak the background for the setting, but that's not an issue.
Of note, if anyone desires a very detailed source for all things Lord of the Rings, check out The Encyclopedia of Arda. I use this as well as the app they have for Tolkien's LotR world.

Hey GMV. Glad to see you here. I used the encyclopedia of arda myself.
@Daniel_Steward, @Scranford are your avatars all set and ready to play?
Yes mine (Daniel) is all done...just waiting for a check and OK for him and I will be all ready!!
ok life is good!
I will get my profile up before midnight tonight. Was having trouble setting it up earlier in the week, but I'm back home now, and should be able to get it working.
I finally got hold of my Player's Handbook. Will begin perusing the race and class I desire for the build.
Shouldn't be more than a few days at most while maneuvering around real life.

Quite reasonable. I will make something of these.
DM Ashman, are you allowing the variant racial traits for humans?
Yes I am and I have started the gamethread!
Realized that I totally lost track of this—my bad, and have fun.
Thunder roll a PC and you can still join us
Hmm... party seems pretty full, though. Any thoughts on the admissibility of an Elven Bard?
