The base starting year for AiME is 2946 - five years after the Battle of the Five Armies.

Dale and Lake-Town have been rebuilt and Erebor has been reclaimed by the dwarves.

Thanks. Should have something for you by tomorrow at latest. Finished the crunch just now and will work on story and fluff.

Would tying the character into one of Thorin's company as a relative be too much, or just right for the kind of story you're looking for?

That would be perfectly fine.. It might work to the advantage of the larger campaign I'm working on.

Also, please take no offence when I say the following:

Please (everyone) take into account that as 1st Level Player-Heroes, nobody will have accomplished any major feats, slain hundreds of orc, taken on trolls single handed etc... You will have probably been inspired by tales of these events, had family involved in the Battle of the Five Armies, had some small part to play in rebuilding Dale or Esgaroth perhaps but not actually done any real adventuring yet.

Except my guy, I'm Gandalf and Galadriel's love child, who helped the Valar chain Morgoth and cast him out into the void. Just saying.

There goes my character concept of a Dwarf merchant that sells gunpowder weapons and is the reason that Morgoth remains imprisoned... :(

Worst. Campaign.Ever.

Ah sorry guys... :lol:

I've put a few threads up, mostly placeholders but feel free to post stuff in OOC and Hero Creation threads until I populate more in game stuff myself.
