HALL OF SHAME OF MY MIDDLE-EARTH ROLEPLAYING CHARACTERS

This is the records of the deads and alives of my characters that I played and STILL play in MERP.

 
  • Crumblepot: Scout (THIEF), Hobbit - lvl 3 (R.I.P)

    When Frodo, Sam, Merry & Pippin arrived at The Shire after the ring was destroyed, Crumblepot and others hobbits tried to stop them to enter and ruins the plan of Saruman. While fighting Frodo, Crumblepot was killed tramped by a pony ridden by a fellow hobbit who was going toward Frodo to crush him.

  • Simonak: Warrior, Dwarf - lvl 1 (R.I.P)

    Simonak was brutally killed by orcs up the stairs of a wine cellar. Also before the combat, He was cursed by the Valar Ulmo because after exploring the wine cellar, he discovered a secret sacred place behind a big fake barrel and destroyed a statue of the altar for Ulmo.

  • Aphadon: Ranger, Half Elf - Lvl 1

    Currently alive and don’t want to die.

Life in Middle-Earth is not restful when you soak in the blood and sweat of orcs all days....

Call Of Cthulhu: When fear of blood and murderous frenzy coexist.

Mi-go, a creature from the Cthulhu Mythos

Mi-go, a creature from the Cthulhu Mythos

My last game of Call of Cthulhu as a keeper was really fun. I initiated two of my old friends to play this wonderful game by Chaosium Inc.

For one of them, tabletop RPGs were a new thing. We had a great time together. It was a challenge to create a story really scary with people who are accustomed to horror & gore theme since young years.

One of the strong parts of the session was when my players saw a cultist very badly mutilated in a corner of a room, they loosed enough sanity points at the same time and had a bout of madness. The first player, Trevor by his character name, exploded in a spree of uncontrolled violence and destruction directed at the cultist, butchering him with a knife.

Marc, the second character, developed a fear of blood for 8 hours... When he saw the cultist mutilated, he started to run in terror and screaming while Trevor continued stabbing the remains of the poor cultist.

After the insane violence fury that Trevor went through, he went after his terrorized friend Marc to try to calm him down, covered in blood head to toes and ignoring that his friend had developed a phobia of seeing bloodfor 8 hours! This scene was memorable and really special. My players and I really liked it.

Will their character die or become insane next time? We will find out next session.

Thank you Howard Phillip Lovecraft for creating an amazing mythos and thank you Chaosium Inc.

Call of Cthulhu the RPG and some new artistic goals

In early February with friends, I played the tabletop RPG Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium for the first time. A year to flip through this amazing book of rules, to look at the illustrations, to immerse myself in this macabre and unforgivable world.

In early February with my girlfriend and my friends, I played the tabletop RPG Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium for the first time. A year to flip through this amazing book of rules, to look at the illustrations, to immerse myself in this macabre and unforgivable world. This was finally the moment I waited so much, playing this amazing game with people I care. I was not deceived and I spent many hours of pleasure, horror and laughter. It tooks one year to play because of some events in my life.

Rat of Misery

some personal problems surfaced but also other old ones settled. I have known for real poverty, lack of food, fatigue and black thoughts.

Having participated in the Lovecraftuary of 2018, I continued my series of the Cthulhu Mythos. Right now I am doing since the begining of February 2019 the same challenge and I must say that after this, I want to devote myself to something else.

I really love illustrating creatures but between two filthy horrors, I practice, and I will always practice, human anatomy.

After February 28, 2019, I will drop my pencil from the H.P. Lovecraft universe to devote myself to another subject that fascinates me and inspires me more and more everyday; old European tales. I intend to interpret them in my way and immortalize these beloved tales again. I will begin with some of the tales of Charles Perrault first and then the ones by the Grimm brothers. I also have plan to touch diverse mythologies.

I will not give up forever illustrating the Cthulhu's mythos. It is still inspire me, but I need artistic beauty for a few months or even years. Only the future will tell.

P.s. I can’t wait to play my next game of Call Of Cthulhu. This game is so cruel for players!
