Middle-earth Campaign Concludes after 58 Sessions

I first starting running Adventures in Middle-earth back in 2016. Eventually, it turned into a campaign (using the ‘Mirkwood Campaign’ commercial adventure, co-GM’d by multiple GMs) which lasted 3.5 years and took place over 58 sessions (sessions were about 5-6 hours during much of the campaign).

We had great fun, and eventually we may return, perhaps using the new The One Ring 2nd Edition which was recently released.

Play-by-Post Guidelines for GamersPlane.com

Things have progressed in 20 years! Two platforms that have take PbP to the next level are Discord (by adding the  DiceMaiden (dice rolling) and Tupperbox (alias/avatar) bots) and GamersPlane.com. Both have their merits, but I am particularly enamored with GamersPlane.com.
