ForumOfGames presents: The Fellowship of the Ring
I amar prestar aen... The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf-Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine Rings were gifted to the race of Men, who, above all else, desire power. For within these Rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life.
Your mission is clear: root out the evil that walks among us. Be warned, the path to victory is shrouded in deception. Trust no one, and listen to the whispers of your heart.
But heed caution, for a twisted creature also lurks nearby, drawn by the scent of the One Ring like a shark to blood. Its very soul is split, warring between a pitiful, forgotten past and the monstrous craving for its "Precious." This tormented being will stop at nothing to reclaim what it believes is its own.

Objective
- The Fellowship wins by eliminating all the Wolves and successfully chaperoning the One Ring to the fires of Mount Doom, cleansing Middle-earth of its greatest evil.
- This sacred duty falls uniquely to the Hobbits among you, a burden few can comprehend.
- Should the line of Ring-bearers be extinguished, the quest to destroy the One Ring fails, and with it, all hope for Middle-earth.
- Yet, the Ring itself is a persistent and powerful force; even if its current bearer falls, its fate may not be sealed, and its dark influence may still be resisted.
- This sacred duty falls uniquely to the Hobbits among you, a burden few can comprehend.
- The Wolves win when their numbers equal or exceed the number of Villagers, successfully corrupting or overwhelming the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.
- The Serial Killer wins by gaining parity with the village & wolf teams, claiming the ultimate prize for themselves amidst the fiery ruins.
Gameplay
- Day Phase - 10am−9pm: This is the voting phase. Players discuss, debate, and vote to lynch one person they suspect is a Wolf. The person with the most votes is eliminated from the game.
- Night Phase - 9pm−10am: The GM receives private messages from players with special roles. The Wolves choose their target, the Serial Killer chooses theirs, and any special actions are carried out.
