Rurik of Esgaroth, at your service.
I'm guessing the Pony is the place to introduce myself. A fan of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings for some 55+ years, ever since I read the first chapter in a childrens edition. Not a Middle Earth expert by any means - I did read The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales many years ago, but that's the extent of my knowledge.
I've also watched the Peter Jackson adaptations (with mixed views).
I have been involved in 15th century historical reenactment and living history, but had to give that up, being overweight and unfit. But in retirement and with a new and energetic dog to get me out of the house, hopefully this is changing. At 67, I don't think a Ranger persona would fit, but I have plans.
In the meantime, here I am, having found a home for like minded people.

Welcome! And hey - never say never! Aragorn was in his 80’s and still considered the greatest hunter the world had ever seen, after all! ;D

I was about to say that, but looks like Manv beat me too it! He's right though

If only I had some Numenorean blood! (Although my persona may)

Greetings Rurik, Well met.
I'm fat and fiftyish, so I portray a grumpy dwarf* in his second century. Lots of wiggleroom for personas and loads of help, advice and information on here.
*Yes, I know "Gumpy Dwarf" is a tautology.
