Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That's...Hi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That's certainly an interesting take on Aleena's death. I had not thought about it like that. You have me thinking now though. <br /><br />Her death at the hands of Bargle was certainly a profound moment in the lives of many kids and players back then. It is my hope that along with the introduction to death at Aleena's passing, players of the time were also introduced to Aleena's kindness, sacrifice, and heroism, which are attributes all too often lost in this day and age.<br /><br />Thank you for reading!Blackwardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071644608526918072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-29115993312924962702022-03-31T14:32:42.304-04:002022-03-31T14:32:42.304-04:00That warms my heart to know that she is still aliv...That warms my heart to know that she is still alive somewhere today. Were you the DM and if so, what prompted you to add her to the game? If you were a player, did you appreciate the fact that your DM paid homage to our much beloved cleric?

I...I remember playing the red set in Middle School. I was a dungeon master, another kid down the street was the other player. We went through the adventure and I remember the magic user killing the beautiful female cleric. Now that I think I see what a tragedy it was that death would have so casually been introduced in DND back in those early days to our tender young years. I look at pictures of Aleena now and wish that I could have saved her, wished that I could have brought her home, and married her. She's All That was most desirable and Noble in a woman. Everything that would make for a Godly wife and mother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662799821987830936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-58866326731041674092021-07-09T11:38:05.586-04:002021-07-09T11:38:05.586-04:00Hail and well met Dorin Oathkeeper! I'm glad ...Hail and well met Dorin Oathkeeper! I'm glad you stumbled upon my long-abandoned history of the Waywatchers. I remember you well and sometimes find myself longing for the good times the Waywatchers had in the old days. In fact, I actually logged into LotRO a week ago to have a look around. I promptly assumed the role of Whaylen (complete with his old hat) as I walked around Bree. I found not a single soul in the Prancing Pony, so apparently things have changed on Landroval. <br /><br />I still intend to complete the history. I have a rough draft that I need to revise after a long hiatus. One day I'll have the time post part two and resume blogging. If you have any photos or stories you'd like to share from those days long past, please feel free to get in touch with me.<br /><br />I hope this reply finds you well.

...Dorin Oathkeeper at yer service lad! *deep bow*<br /><br /><br />/ooc<br />I stumbled upon this today while randomly searching my old character's name to see what I'd find. Imagine my delight when I found this amazing history of what was and will always be my most favorite time RP'ing a character. My only regret is not seeing it through to the end after the split. Thanks Whaylen for putting this together. The magic we created 14 years ago is a memory I am very fond of.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108839918268041650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-37385062845741652212020-09-08T14:51:56.701-04:002020-09-08T14:51:56.701-04:00I'm going to the website to investigate.

It probably had something to do with the size of the board that I cut it from or maybe the size of the playing area I had available to me at the time.<br /><br />To answer your questions I had to pull the board out of my storage trailer. The MDF did not survive well in the humidity of the Florida Keys over the years. The edges are in rough shape the colors are faded. I think I may have to make another table to replace this one!<br />Blackwardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071644608526918072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-68883206381077612912018-04-05T00:16:08.070-04:002018-04-05T00:16:08.070-04:00How big is the table?How big is the table?Aknorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871735186459599209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-90780505022303677342017-10-22T01:45:18.703-04:002017-10-22T01:45:18.703-04:00Tad concerned that Elmore's website identifies...Tad concerned that Elmore's website identifies the Black haired cleric from the Cleric character class entry page as Aleena.Sean Robert Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273566549106707316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-19098495034079529562017-08-17T21:13:49.437-04:002017-08-17T21:13:49.437-04:00Hi Morwen.

I've had several requests from readers over the last few months to revive my abandoned blog and finish part two. A few old members have even contacted me about it. <br /><br />If you mean, are we still an active kinship, then sadly the answer is no. I haven't logged on in years. <br /><br />In a way though the kinship is still alive and well. One of our most active members after the Great RP split writes for Cubicle 7. He asked my permission to use the Waywatchers of Cardolan as the basis for a group in The One Ring roleplaying game. What an honor to be immortalized in print. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Blackwardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071644608526918072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545599.post-55353396774910371212017-04-15T10:36:45.334-04:002017-04-15T10:36:45.334-04:00Is this still a thing?
