We use the early MERP and Rolemaster series as a basis and as a general rule don't follow the rules to the letter for the sake of story and the listener, so please bare that in mind when listening, this is for pure enjoyment and story. We update the listings with new installments at least twice a week (during the week and at weekends) with recordings taking place at the weekends. Editing with music sfx and voice over acting takes place at the beginning of each week. We plan to have a Q&A session very soon taking questions from all sources.
Have fun guys, its free and enjoy. - thanks Wispa.

We will keep you updated as we receive support form other broadcasters.

To all listening to the middle earth role play podcast on all platforms, we have a q&a recording coming soon. So please have you questions ready for posting.
-
I've had a question on Facebook about how child friendly this podcast is (in terms of language). Can anyone advise?
-
I'm only 40 minutes into the first recording but so far it's not X-rated. Just one occurance of s**t that I've come across.

Great shows, I love the dynamic of the group and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments. We'll worth a listen.

OMG... I don't use any of those formats. LOL
Which one do people like using? I'd love to check out the pod casts.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
We would like to announce that 'The Middle Earth Role Play' Podcast Story is available also on -

Now to answer any questions :-
- As a response to Language Levels - As the adventure continues The level of Language does increase from time to time, this happens few and far between. We try our best to keep bad language to a minimum, Players are allowed to 'act' their characters.
Recordings can take up to six hours and people do get tired towards the end of game sessions, in advance we apologise if any 'slip of the tough' is found offensive.
- Book One was recorded in 2015/16/17, Book 2 began recording in 2018 and is still being recorded and edited. Book 3 is planned for recording in 2019/20.
- We DO NOT follow every rule set out by ICE, if we did this would slow game play and story down a lot more, we do sometimes get rules wrong, and we admit it. But we hope this doesn't spoil the story for anyone. This Podcast is not a 'HOW to play RoleMaster' correctly. It simply a story for everyone to enjoy.
- Yes the players try and do sometimes 'Bend the Rules', but we dont let that spoil the game play or the story.
- We record every other weekend for around 6 hours, these are edited the following week, episodes are recorded around five episodes in advance before uploading and shearing on around 20 different platforms.
- If you would like to have it added to your favourite 'Podcast Broadcaster' then please leave details in comments.
- YES! a Teaser for 'SpaceMaster' is coming soon. Recording will begin in early 2019.
- YES! it will be available on the same Podcast collection alongside The 'MERP' Podcast.
- At the moment these game sessions are not Streamed LIVE. The simple fact is we all live so far apart and we do not yet have a studio in which to stream from. But we hope to one day bring you LIVE game sessions from a private studio, That would be a dream come true.
- We have no plans to add any more Players to the Story, Adding too many players can slow down game play and story too much. We try to keep the core group to Myself 'Wispa' Zellie, Darklee, Jai and Honeyjade.
- The intro music for 'MERP' is composed and created by Isaiah Soucy, a talented young composer who stuns us every time he shares his visions in sound.
- We are closing in on 5000 listens to the show. (Which is amazing). We never expected to get this kind of reaction to something we began 4 years ago just for fun.
- We have not being contacted by ICE, Yet! lol.
- I have plans for another new show very soon called 'Postcards from Middle Earth', An audio tour of my favourite places in MERP from a visitors point of view. I'm really looking forward to this.
Thanks for listening to us fellow adventures, and we will do our best to answer more of your questions again soon.
