/meg/ - Middle-earth General

Boromir is an excellent flawed hero. Doesn't get the props he deserves

>>51517853
Faramir. He's got some good quotes.

The unknown east.

>>51517853
Witch King of Angmar.
Cause less is more!

Sam is my favorite, he did more than anybody else in the series and he did it with nothing but his huge brass balls.

I'd like to visit Rivendell myself

Even when he sounds like Skeletor?

Beorn, he seemed like my kind of dude

>What place in Middle-earth would you most like to visit? (Hard mode: nothing west of Númenor)

Honestly, you could not get more fucking cozy than the Shire. As a human I'd have a grand time there. Otherwise Laketown, because it is much like the place where I was born.

Here's a MERP trove

I admit, I have a soft spot for Isildur. The way that he talks, or rather, other people recite his words, with an archaic Anglo-Saxon style word order, is a really cool touch to denote how archaic his speech modes are compared to "contemporary" third age speakers.

As for visit? Not really sure. I think I would like to see Lothlorien and try to keep my sense of time intact and likely fial.

Anyone ever play the old METW CCG? I recently discovered that you can play it online through a system called Lackey, although I haven't gotten much mastery with the system yet, I'd need to putter around a bit to start a game with someone else.

Nom the Wise, lord of the caves and friend of man. He redeemed the oath, payed the price, and killed a werewolf with his bare fucking hands.

Also Turin, best tragic hero who may or may not have been blind the whole goddamn time

>>51523387

There's no indication whatsoever that Turin was blind.

>>51523479
Some interpret the "blinded by the mists of Morgoth" to mean he was literally blind. Probably a case of readers who can't into metaphor, but it would provide an alternate explanation to him continuously suffering from cases of mistaken identity

what's that hugely muscular man-sized goblin fighting the Gondorian supposed to be? A black Uruk?

A hugely muscular man-sized goblin.

Gil-Galad

The Shire. Because comfy.

Link?

>>51523612
Turin was't blind - he was crazed. Loutish, even.

Well, here's the Lackey CCG link

The METW module,

You'd actually have to use the METW game to play online, and I haven't actually tried it.
