Given that two people have emailed him with no reply and the game has been stalled for so long, I would put my money on the fact that the game is dead. Didn't garyh originally recruit him from Decipher's boards or something. Wonder if he's still posting over there? Any way to check garyh?
Having said that, I'd still be interested in playing this game or another LOTR PbP. Unfortunately, I don't remember enough about the books to run one and I've promised myself that I'm not going to re-read them until after the 3rd movie comes out. Anyone else want to take over the DM reins? We could switch over to MEd20 since ColH has put so much excellent work into it.
I'm still game,
Jay
