Good day to all who chose to read this small introduction. I am the traveler, yet I travel not over hills nor through vales. Neither roads nor fields. I am a traveler of worlds whom seeks out the places of grand imagination. I am a dreamer, a wish maker and a gamer. And quite possibly a little odd every now and again.

For many a day, through winter and summer I have laboured to build, paint and play with miniatures of a number of game systems, most recent of which has brought me here. I speak of course of The hobbit/The Lord of the Rings SBG. As I expand into my new hobby I figured that looking for like minded people would increase my enjoyment of the craft. And Thus, I am here.

I come from the old world, in a small country on the other side of the North Sea, to the east of ye olde England. We who dwell here call it Nederland but you may know it as the Netherlands, or even Holland. Its from an even smaller place in a small country that my journey has taken me to middle earth. To the dark realm that holds home to the Dark Lord Sauron. Mordor.

So far my army of evil villains has won the allegiance of the Nine, Including the Witch King of Angmar (On fellbeast and on foot). Aswell as a number of Uruk Hai. I have had the pleasure of playing a few games so far. (Both of which is lost to those pesky Do-gooders! But do not fret, I shall get them NEXT TIME, yes... NEXT TIME.)

Ahum. Ahh yes, So I am here, and I hope you will all bid me welcome. I shall offer my greetings in kind,

The Traveler.

Welcome to the One Ring! I assume you're in Baradur against your will

Wonderfully poetic introduction, welcome to the One Ring. I hope we can help you with creating more legions of the Red Eye and and advise you on how to lead them to a final victory! I think we have a couple of members from the Netherlands too so you may be able to find even more potential opponents :)

Good to see some other dutch people on this website. I live in the area of Eindhoven. Where do you stay most of the time when not travelling?

I must thank you all for the many accolades heaped upon my willy ways of word and deed, though pray wonder if I must write in the style of the old world now, for all my days to come. I must say, though fun it is to read through all your many responses. I see questions! And the curious demand awnsers!

No no my friend, my visit to His dark tower is entirely due to the presence my Lord Sauron so efficaciously projects. I am here, but only of my free Will and choice. I assure you.

Marvelous, simply Marvelous! Though i must tell you, it seems by times the legions UNDER the eye procreate all by themselfs. And I would prefer not to watch the vile sorcery by which these uruk hai 'mate' I tell you. All my time here at Barad-Dûr and I have yet to see a female Orc of any kind. I am gratefull for life's small blessings I must say. As for the question of more opponents in my area of residence when not I am ensla... employed to the will of sauron. I shall get to this question in nought but a minute!

Why thank you my friend, and may I say that that is a fine mask you have there. Exquisite craftsmanship to, I say, Is that dwarven wrought per chance?

Kinsman, Countrymen! Ohh... Eindhoven you say. Yes uhm. Hello there. I normally rest my pipe and travel worn feet in Amersfoort in the provicence of Utrecht in the very heartland of our country. I feel I sometimes long for the slightly inclined slope we call a mountain of my home. But then new and exciting places to travel come up again! Mayhaps we shall meet upon the road once, i should sorely like to cross paths with you all one day.

The will of Sauron is law friend dwarf. And though you may swear your deoderant to the fellowship, you will never make it to freshen up mount doom! Without my help that is... gods this place reeks of Uruk-hai.

Welcome to The One-Ring.


This one has witt... and it appears some kind of portable siege weapon. I am uncertain if i should trust him. Perhaps i should smile and nod and simply accept his welcome. yes that would be wise...

:-D

Thank you, thank you. Though i shall keep my hands far away from the ONE RING. I have seen what my lords ring does to men and hobbits, and other queer folk. I shall not fancy a fate like them I should say! what.. what do you mean thats not the One Ring you meant? There is more then one, one ring now?!

My, those feet do look well traveled young Hobbit. If by chance I should pass by the shire one of these days, mayhaps we may share a few puffs of pipe weed and a story of roads well traveled with one another.

Ahh, here is a man who travels after my own own heart. With a sturdy staff in hand and a wide brimmed hat above a beard mythical enough to make jealous a dwarf of his whiskers! I do salute you Gandlaf my good man. I do indeed.

"Wily" has one l. "Willy" is a word that describes a man's dangly bits. :)

Welcome to the One Ring.

Day 7: Nothing here is what it seems, trolls glamoured to appear as dwarfs, Uruk-hai prancing around in dresses. And Myself, what am I and still more who? I do not know all things I once did, and of those I still recall which memories I yet can trust?!

I see spectres of my past home pass me by in the dark corners of the fortress, are they real or are they fake I do not know. The Eye watches and I think he knows...

Welcome to the One Ring.


The dark Lord Sauron sees me, He knows I am not Uruk and that my pronunciations of the black speech are flawed. Heavens help me. HE KNOWS.

But seriously gentlemen, Thank you all for the welcome. And where sometimes my English may lack in humorous ways this most assuredly comes from it being my third language. Warrior of the north. I'll drop you a PM sometime soon when I have a bit more of my army painted. Thats the least I can do before a game. Thank you!
