Gaming in Middle-Earth

Got together this weekend, and made characters for what will hopefully be my first regular gaming campaign in far too long. I’m running Decipher’s all-but-officially-abandoned Lord of the Rings RPG. I’m setting my chronicle, called “The Third Shadow”, about 50 years into the Fourth Age, involving the rise of a new evil. As far as characters go, I’m looking at a Gondorian noble, an Elven shipwright, a Dwarven warrior, an Elven warrior, a Hobbit rogue, a Rohirrim woman looking to become a Ranger, and an Elven minstrel. Should be fun.

By the way, for my players especially, but anyone who might be interested: Check out “The Hall of Fire”–a fan-produced ezine of LOTR RPG support, in pdf format. Looks to be some interesting stuff in it.

Stories of strange electoral results are starting to crop up. In a precinct in Ohio where 638 votes were cast, Bush was credited with 4,258 votes..

Of course, the only reason that was discovered was because it was so obvious. In more populous precincts all over the country, the same thing could be happening, and, if the precinct was using one of those nifty machines supplied by Diebold, there will be no way to confirm.

You wanted proof? There it is.

They did it again.

Get ready to hear Bush supporters all over the country saying that it was only an “isolated incident,” and that we should just get over it.
