Abstracted Gameplay post-Session 7

There are a number of possible options after the last session. I'd like to hear back from each one of you on what your character is going to be up to.

The Treatise

It may take weeks before any headway is made on deciphering the treatise. We are now in mid-November as well and winter is very rough this year. Your characters have thus quite a bit of time to go on personal pursuits. This time will mostly be abstracted, so feel free to do whatever you think your PC wants to do. Do you want to remain in the Shire? Head to Tharbad to take on Commander Ciril's offer for lodging? Do you want to learn something in particular? 

Character creation process for Reclaming Khazad-dûm

What this campaign is all about

"mellon..."

The year is 15 of the Fourth age, we are in Erebor. The prophecy is that King Thorin III Stonehelm's heir will be Durin VII: the last Dwarven King before the decline of the race of Khazâd. Thorin III is determined to reclaim the heart of Middle-Earth on time for the ascension of his (still to be born) heir.

You are to play the role of members of the extended Royal Family. The King is an impulsive and overconfident ruler with a poor knack for details. It is clear to the PCs that reclaiming Khazad-dûm is bound to fail if the King can't be saved from his fury and all of the infighting within the royal circle.

Games that I'd love to run in the near future.

My bi-weekly game leaves me with some time to think of play styles that I want to try with GURPS.  I'm thinking of a small group, G+/Roll20 game (I just can't get MapTool to run on my computer).

Reclaiming Moria (Dwarves in Hell)

Let's cave-in this shaft first...

The dwarves of Erebor are aching to put their hands on Mithril all over again. They also want to avenge Durin's and Balin's death to the hands of the terror of the deep. An expedition of a few companies of soldiers and engineers are to reclaim as much of Moria as they can from the fiery hordes that outnumber them 100 to 1.

Play Style : Dwarf Fotress meets GURPS, Dungeoneering, Engineering, social combat, operational-level military simulation, they indeed dug too deep...
Time Period : 4th Age Middle-Earth (TL4)
