My next game will be using this adventure module and take place in a much shorter span. For the climax I am going to jump the timeline ahead and just use the same character stats but tell them that they are playing the children of their previous character. So change names ect. I will keep the exact time frame of how much time has passed vague. And keep names secret, but intend to play through the Rohan theatre of WOTR starting with the attack during the Fords of Isen, and ending with the Battle of the Black Gate. I won't refer to Theodred by name simply saying The Prince or The King. Intentionally making it seem that this is a point when Thengel has reached old age and Theoden is now a young adult. I might even play out a attack of Riders against the Urk Hai at Fanghorn and then the following scene with the Three Hunters. I just think this idea is very good. Maybe even giving the characters a chance to change the history of the lore a bit. Maybe run a skill endeavor to see if they notice two hobbits during the Fanghorn fight, or follow Aragorn into the paths of the dead instead of ride for Minas Tirith.
