Arda Role Playing Wiki

Welcome to the The New Notion Club Archives

The Notion Club Archives is an open project, an encyclopedia dedicated to Expanded Arda, non-canonical sub-creation within J.R.R. Tolkien's World of Arda.

Westlands Globe

Originally dedicated to support and preserve abandoned, out-of-print and fan-made material dedicated to roleplaying games, as time passed this Wiki has moved its focus onto the broader field of sub-creation, including: RPG games (Middle Earth Roleplaying (MERP), Questgame, The Lord of the Rings Adventure Game (LotRAG), The Lord of the Rings Role-Playing Game (LotRRPG), The One Ring - Roleplaying in Middle Earth, Adventures in Middle-earth, Ambarquenta); play-by-mail games (Middle-Earth play-by-mail); card games (Middle-Earth Collectible Card Game, The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game); collectible miniatures (Mithril Miniatures); table-top games (The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, The Hobbit Strategy Battle Game, Legendary journeys in Middle-earth); computer and video games (The Lord of the Rings Online); and the wide field of Tolkien- and Arda-related fanfiction.

The principal directive of the Notion Club Archives is the fictitious approach that this is the official archive of the New Notion Club. The original Notion Club was a fictional social club created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his unfinished short story The Notion Club Papers.

We advise our contributors that new additions and articles on this wiki should be written with the idea in mind that they consider a fictitious alternate past of our own world and should keep up the literal illusion that they are written by members of the New Notion Club, who gain their knowledge on the forgotten Ages of Arda by experiments in the fields of lucid dreaming. For mainly legal reasons there yet is one more Rule which we would like to advise our contributors to take to heart: no stats nor direct quotes from official and still-available game books and other commercial and officially-licensed publications allowed! Strictly original content!
