Welcome to Lúmequentalë Númenostan!


Welcome to Lúmequentalë Númenostan, a grandiose title for a probably rather banal blog. Lúmequentalë Númenostan merely (sort of) means 'Westermeyer History‘ in J.R.R. Tolkien‘s elven tongue, Quenya. 

I intend to use this blog to distribute my various fantasy roleplaying articles and works, connected to my long time Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Lúmequentalë Númenostan is properly the title of the campaign history of those campaigns but this blog will also contains links to my various ongoing campaigns as well as articles that I have published online over the years on the Forgotten Realms and Spelljammer. My Spelljammer work, especially, was originally published on the Beyond the Moons site but it is difficult to link there these days on many social media platforms, as it is an http site. So I plan to republish those articles here. 

You can download the pdf for the original Lúmequentalë Númenostan campaign history here. 

My only current campaign is a table top game, Awakened Legends: A D&D Greyhawk Campaign. I run this game with my current gaming club, the Spotsylvania Area Gamers. The club meets every Friday night for miniature wargaming, but the RPG offshoot only meets a couple times a month. My game just meets once a month, I describe that ongoing campaign in a blog as well, Awakened Legends.

The image above was created originally as the image for the online "home" of my various play by email campaigns. Three of those - Mercs, Jammers, and Classics - were D&D campaigns, but three of them were not. One of those, Ethereal Gothic, will soon appear on a blog devoted to Space:1889 and other Victorian period games.  The other two games, Secret Eagles (World War II) and Scum & Villainy (Star Wars) will be shared eventually as well, as will Holiday Tale  (Changeling, 2nd edition), a play by email campaign we brought to completion. 

With some luck, more posts will appear on this blog soon.

Mercs: The Black Guard Company

The first Play by Email ("PBEM") campaign that I created and ran was "Mercs."  In 1996 the tabletop game I had been running four the past three years in college was shifting from a primarily  AD&D   Forgotten Realms  campaign to a White Wolf  World of Darkness   Storyteller campaign, and we also were meeting less often. Those truly epic tabletop  AD&D  campaigns had included  James B ('Helix'), Brian H. ('Hathron'), Chad ('Antontio'), and Stephen ('Marik') amongst others who never joined the PBEM games. (The adventures of that party, the Oathbound, will be told elsewhere on this blog).  The world wide web and email were just becoming common in the academic world and I had dipped my toe into play by email games as a player - unsuccessfully, I clashed right away with the DM. I realized from that,  however, that PBEM could provide the sort of gaming experience I've always craved: a living, breathing, involved world that ...
