Thread: The Landroval Times

A few weeks ago a couple of posters were talking about creating a wiki or a website akin to the Laurelin Archives. After three weeks of playing with the formatting and design, it's finally ready for everyone to use.

http://landrovaltimes.info/

Players can consolidate their in-game roleplaying life by creating Character and Kinship Profiles, writing Blogs and Stories about their character's adventures, set up in game meetings and events, as well as advertise their goods and services. It's everything that makes Landroval special all in one place and created by players for players.

Be aware that when you register, you will receive an email with a link to set up your password once approved. If you don't receive it within a day, check your spam filters or use the site contact form to let me know.

ETA I went ahead and created recurring events on the website, however, if it is an event you host/are in charge of and would like to rework the event entry, let me know and I will gladly render control over it to you.

Kind of unfair and incredibly one-sided if you're just going to talk about RP life in something that bears the name "Landroval", which includes A LOT MORE non-RP-related happenings/events etc.

I really think this is a good idea, but I suggest that you make this website for everyone, RPers and non-RPers alike.

It's not specifically targeted at RPers only... though it's content would probably interest RPers more.

Anyway, it's modeled off the Laurelin Archives apparently (the name included), the server of which is also filled with Non-Rper's, despite the tag. So I'd assume the complaint should be directed at them for naming it... though I don't think it's fair that they should be blamed either, myself.

It looks fantastic! Excellent job. To be honest i do not see it as being a major problem to post up non-rp events. looks great im going to go play with it now!

Thanks guys for the positive remarks and for joining.

As to non-rpers, anyone can join. I just honestly didn't see the appeal a non-rper would have to a separate website considering the forum is active and still the best way for people to be made aware of events, kins, and trade opportunities.

All the website really does is provide an outlet for people to present their characters and stories much as the blog section here was intended to do. It also is intended to help spur in game rp with things such as the public notices section.

Not sure what a separate website could do for non-rpers that the forums don't already accomplish? If you have any suggestions or ideas, I'm more than open to hearing them and seeing how it would fare on the site. Feel free to PM me here, leave a comment, or use the contact form on the times website.

That goes for everyone. As it's a site made for the players to use and play with, if anyone has ideas they think could help the site, things they want to see on it, or additional links they think could help, definitely let me know.

When I saw Laurelin's RP project, I was jealous that we didn't have something similar. Thank you for taking it upon yourself to create something similar for our server. I can't wait to put it to use.

Yes, the site's software was being updated and therefore the site was brought down until the update went through, as I warned 4 minutes before your post.

Hey! I added an image to the gallery to test it out and it works great. Thanks.

Just a quick note - I noticed on the site it has the information listed for the Exiles of the Riddermark OOC information. The meeting time and schedule for the event changed a bit since it was posted and should now read:

9:00 - Gather at the site

Each week we will meet at a new location, generally a camp, inn, or temporary shelter. This is the setting for the event. The first hour is BYORP around the campfires

10:00 - Call to Arms

A call to arms and for the defense of Rohan will be given each week by the designated host of the event. The song, "Lament for Eorl the Young" will be played as an official beginning of the event. Feel free to sing along. The lyrics are:
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

10:30 - Tale of the Mark

A pre-written tale will be shared at each session. The tale can be a personal tale of experiences in Rohan and the current events there, a tale of the history of Rohan and its people, or a artistic composition of poetry or song.

11:00 - The Journey

During each session, the riders will mount up and ride to the next location. This journey across the landscape forms a solid part of the weekly RP, as it will all be mounted with stops to interact with the landscape (orc camps, rivers to ford, places to visit) Our Scouting and Skirmishing group will provide the path and the security along the way.

12:00 - Free RP

After the Journey, free RP will begin, where players can interact freely and make plans, argue tactics, or simply speak about their experiences on the road to the river Isen to aid thier homeland.

Great work on the site so far - I'm looking forward to utilizing it even more!

Ah, thanks for letting me know the details had changed! Updated the site to display the correct info. Also, since it starts at 9pm now instead, I hope to make it next week so I can write up a new news report. Been secretly hoping someone else would submit a news article though tbqh....

Also, just corrected a bug I hadn't noticed before when it comes to formatting issues (aligning, font colours, etc.) so now, things should display properly when you create new content.

As always, if anyone notices things aren't working/loading/displaying as it should, or you have questions/suggestions/complaints, let me know! Either reply here or send me a message. I swear, I don't bite

Huzzah! Some news, created a twitter that the site feeds updates to automatically if anyone is interested in it. This way, people can better keep track of new content or site changes as opposed going through this thread. The twitter is @landrovaltimes

ETA2
Players can now RSVP their characters for events!

Just a quick heads up, site will be down for the next ten-fifteen minutes for maintenance and updates. Want to thank everyone who's joined and continues contributing.

Also, in case you missed it, the site now has a twitter ( @landrovaltimes ) that updates automatically with the latest updated content on the site. Also, users can now RSVP a character for events.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Site is back up. Bugs that led to broken links when trying to link to character profiles has been fixed.
