Re: The Sindarin Mode

Or you can see if there is a word for it in Quenya, then figure out what its Sindarin cognate might be. Link to a (fairly technical) article detailing the process: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/elvish/rogue.html Although I've been known to just make up words that "seem to fit"... A curren...

Re: Raiders are Attacking the Coast -What do you do ?

Well... it depends on whether I'm living in the village with my family, or as an apprentice to a bard (closest Middle-Earth analogue I can think of to college) a long distance away. If living with the family, i.e. what I still think of as "normal" despite reality being to the contrary: Me ...

Re: Musical Insturments

That would be easy enough. And it would be cool to be able to tie the whole thing to my quiver. I'll probably end up using cloth, maybe wrap some leather straps around it to hold it in place and look nice... thanks y'all!

Re: Musical Insturments

I might do that sometime. But I do find the PVC pipe has a certain charm to it, what with the plumber's code and the ratty woven belt tied to it for a shoulder strap. It's just not a Tolkien-like charm :lol: Also, it was hard enough to pad the inside of the PVC, I really don't know what I'd do with ...

Re: Dunedain Stick Ball

Me and my friends' favorite games used to be capture the flag, smear the ..., and cops and robbers - all, of course, played full-contact. Cops and robbers was particularly fun, we'd pick the bigger people to be cops and drag robbers back to jail by force. Or we'd just aimlessly hit each other with s...

Re: Musical Insturments

I guess this is a good place to introduce myself... I'm actually currently majoring in flute performance at the University of North Texas - so naturally that's my preferred instrument, although I also play the tinwhistle and harp. For rangering, I'd choose a slick little telescoping brass tinwhistle...
