A dynamic duo, huh... Batman and Robin? Blue Falcon and Dynomutt? Pinky and the Brain? Han and Chewie?  |

Does this "Rumor" include work on The Ride?
I'd feel like an utterly moronic arse if I wrote something and then it was immediately invalidated by Canon material. |

That's only true if either you or your brother aren't often inclined to ask what the other is pondering. |

You should be fine. We haven't even begun work on it yet but I don't think it will do anything to mess you up. |

I think they tried to emulate their role models and made a bid for world domination  |
The driving force in the multiverse is evil, for it forces good to act. |

It was put on the back burner of my mind because at the time I had taken in 4 little children with my wife besides the three we already had...7 kids in all left little time for what I wanted to do.
I will get back to this in time...I still have all my notes. |

I once had a campaign there started in the ride with the players as slaves in a Zhentarim run Quarry.
they managed to break out and then spend several sessions in order to get to civilization |

Ack!
Been there, done that (several times) - have four kids and have taken in plenty of others. I understand completely, and I hope you don't take this as 'bugging you'.
I've enjoyed the other projects you've worked on, and was just curious as to what happened with this one. |

Still working on this.
I simplified things a bit...and then of course my head began spinning with the Five Shires bit.
I'm still working on this in pieces.
It will be crunch free actually...no mechanics at all (or character classes, alignments and levels). It will simply be lore that can be used.
I like this approach best because it allows anyone to use the material without worry about conversions. A Barbarian Chieftain of The Ride (for example) will simply have a name, history, mannerisms, ambitions and such as that. If someone wants to play in AD&D and make him a Barbarian, then great...but if they want to play 2e and make him a Fighter with a Kit that is great too.
Its required a bit of re-working...and also a bit of outright elimination of some material.
It's coming along in spurts now. |
