Come and see Mordor's latest attraction: The Warg Pits. In the caves under the Morannon are housed the Warg Pits. The caverns are extensive and there is room for hundreds of the beasts. It's your one stop warg shop for breeding, training, fighting, and recovery. Be advised that while all are welcome, this thread is for minion characters only, whether trainer or warg; Any Free Persons who have ventured this far into Mordor had best be in HEAVY disguise: the Wargs have excellent noses...

Thread may be used for free-RP, or for a mini-game within the fighting pits. There will be periodic optional Events and RP prompts.

Current event: it's whelping time! Come pick out your future champion warg from the pups, or play one of the ferocious little beasts.

A little office has sprung up in Hobbiton (not far from the Post Office). Within, people may leave and answer personal calls for aid; to solve the hundred and one tiny mysteries that arise in the Shire...

Get out your largest magnifying glass and your most sleuth-like outfit as you join the ranks of the Hobbit Detective Agency! Or are caught in mischief yourself...

Oh no! Gandalf is visiting Rohan - well is he named ill-news; because although he’s brought Shadowfax back to visit (Yay)! He hasn’t learned how to close doors.

Stable doors.

As a result, half of the horses in the stables have made it out and are now having a party around Meduseld...

It’s YOUR job to round them up and lead them back to the stables and fields where they belong! (Or alternatively, steal them and herd them off to wherever you choose.)

Come and round up some horses!

WHO WOULD YOU BE??

Come one, come all!! Come join in a new Plaza-wide RPG, featuring canon characters, canon-adjacent characters, your personal characters, and any mix of the three!

We hope this is going to be a large RPG, but we want it to move snappily and for everyone to have a chance to play some canon characters. What is the plot? We'll decide that once everyone comes in and tells us what canon characters they're interested in playing! That's right- you tell us in the signup thread which FOUR canon characters you would be interested in playing. Any character that would be alive in Middle Earth between the time of the Hobbit and the LotR is up for grabs!

Not sure what we mean by canon adjacent? Come to the thread and find out!

Not sure if you have time to commit to a big RP? That's ok- we're not looking for huge posts every time, and we're also implementing a rotating cast so roles will be covered if someone has to miss a prompt!

Not sure if you want to play, or just want to spectate? Come give us your top four canon characters anyway, and help influence the plot! ALL can list your choices!

Yule is coming to the Shire and it’s a wonderful time of year! ...That is, until one day when little Nico Boffin disappears.
Hobbit parents have long warned their children that, if they misbehaved, the Krampus would come. Now, it seems, he finally has!


Come one, come all, to evade the terrifying Krampus!

"The sun is low and the storm clouds are nigh; come along ye jaded, long lost travelers and rest your weary heads. Listen to the tales of far away lands, revel in tales of heroes and villains, while away the hours by the fire and hear tales of romance and betrayal, of rendered hearts and skewered foes. Rest your tired bones a while, then, dear traveler, spins us a tale of your own glory and renown."

The Dumpster Dive

It's a "lovely day" and you are presumably a raccoon, because you're in Fangorn, and you have stumbled upon a vast and reeking dumpster! Tres exciting! Who knows what treasures may lurk within?! Some may have value, some may not. I (well Sil) invite(s) you to plunge into the noisome depths and see what you can retrieve…
