Rings of power are found
Rings of power must be destroyed
Only through the fires of Mount Doom can they be unmade
The Fate of Middle-Earth depends on it's free peoples

This idea came from ArchAngel's 5th Age Championship game (thanks Archangel), which came from Kiwi's Smiley game (thanks Kiwi!). Basically the idea is that your fellowship each get a ring, and which fellowship to get their ring to mount doom before the other fellowships do and has the most points, wins.

Player races:

- Hobbits
+10 attack
+80 hitpoints

- Men
+50 Attack
+25 hitpoints

- Dwarves
+25 Attack
+50 hitpoints

- Elves
+75 Attack
+10 hitpoints

Enemy Races:

- Trolls
+50 Attack
+50 hitpoints

- Orcs
+10 attack
+10 hitpoints

Fellowships:
- Can consist of only 3 players
- Can consist of any player races

Customize:
Each person who wishes to join must design their own character and weapons. Weapons do not effect the hitpoints or attack points, so like for instance, dwarves always have 25 attack. Your character can be from a picture of a 3d model to a stick figure, just make sure you state the race and that you own rights or have permission to the image.

Ringbearers:
Each of the players need to form a fellowship of 3 players, any race. One member of the fellowship must be a Ringbearer, and will post the movements of the Fellowship, but he/she must also consult the the members if they wish. The ringbearer leads the fellowship.

Map:
In the game there will be rest stops (represented as blue circles), when your fellowship gets to each rest stop all hitpoints will be replenished and are protected by other fellowships from attacking them, as more than one fellowship will be able to stay there. Rest stops are places of the free peoples to provide protection for all fellowships, such as Minas Tirith or Lothlorien.

Are the trolls able to kill anyone (except hobbits) with one hit?

Well I was planning on posting the game thread after the council was finished, but it seems like the way you and Kiwee did it works good.

EDIT:

BTW, I added more on the customize section of what your character can look like. I also added a new section called Leaders and Ringbearers.

This sounds interesting, lol. So how exactly does the moving work? Can we just say we are moving to Mount Doom??? So what exactly does the leader do???
OK, nother question, So the elves, have just ten HP? Which confuses me because it says "+10 health" is there a number that that gets added to? And besides, the trolls can attack everything, and kill them.

@ArchAngel... do you want to join my fellowship? If you are doing this I mean.

Decribe your jouney, on the map there are outpost dots, in each move you move from dot to dot, and when you move you will describe your journey like for example "Me and my fellowship moved to an outpost after resting at Lothlorien, then we were surrounded by orcs, I swung my sword killing one." and so each time you move somewhere it takes up one movement point.

Yes, if you look on the game thread you can receive items if you stay at a rest stop, like say Rivendell you get a mithril shirt, will adds 10 hitpoints to all members of your fellowship.

The reason I made the elves weak is because they have the most attack points, in one hit they can kill a troll.

I edited the game thread so that when you get attack an enemy and kill it you will not get hit.

Because of the forum's general progression onto other things this competition has been cancelled.
