I'm working on a concept for a group roleplay story based on J. R. R. Tolkien's amazing setting. This would take place after the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring, mostly following the lore of the original story. It would also likely take place many years after, so less to worry about in terms of canonical characters to the setting. While I want to primarily follow the existing lore, I am thinking about doing some tweaking because the primary concept I have in mind requires it.
So, the initial concept is to explore several themes in the setting. Recovering from war, surviving in a fantasy setting, dealing with the prejudices of people and overcoming them, as well as power itself, what it does to people, and how they can utilize it.
Primary story hooks I have in mind are the creation of new rings, a probably journey with a band of adventurers, political intrigue with warring and/or conflicting factions, and an orc character trying to find a new way of life outside of the terror that his people had known from their very conception.
I am absolutely open to any input and welcome any other ideas! I would love to do something with this basic outline, and will put more together with interest. Feel free to comment or DM if you are interested.
Note: If you aren't familiar with the novels or the films, don't worry, any important lore can be provided. If you like fantasy and just want a fun high fantasy story, you are still more than welcome. ^_^
