I'm not sure how that happened!

Moderators possess much power around here. 

Huuooommmrhuooommm .... I seem to have the same problems as others here before ... rhuom ... I received the latest newsletter too, but I'm not able to open any pics announced there ... huom ... strange that is ...

Here they are Master Tree:

Huuoommm .... another matter is that I'm in need of help .... rhuoommm ... somehow it occurred that my tiny sheet of paper on which I kept record about the still-to-come GF-releases went lost ... rhuoooommmm .... somewhere .... hom ... tiny it was indeed .... hom ... so, ahem, is there anybody who remembers the future? ... some Witch-king in his true form and Theodred should be next, as far as I can recall ... huooommmm .... but what about the other metal pieces that were chosen .... huommm ... no, Master Barliman, don't try to remember as your memory ... well, you know .... but maybe someone else ...

Ah, that Elf is the cat's whiskers, isn't he? Everything exactly where we need to find it. Excellent. And what's all that about my memory, Master Tree? Anyone would think I forgot things.

On the subject of GF figures, this month's round one voting is proving to be the usual scatter-gun affair. Only Thomas the Troll has a clear lead, and it's impossible as yet to predict who'll join him in round two.

I think that it would be hard for Thomas the Troll NOT to be in the second round of voting, being so far ahead at the moment.

The list is gradually getting longer, certainly, but it still has some way to go before it reaches the "old" MMP total. I hope the newcomers will make themselves known soon - a few fresh faces in the bar will be welcome. But I should warn anyone coming in by the main door NOT to wipe their feet on the wargskin rugs if they still want to have feet afterwards - they've been a bit frisky lately.

Rhhuoommm ... in case you intend to move your bar to another room, Master Barliman, you should make sure to have a dark corner over there too ... huoommm ... rhuomhom ... just for the man who likes dark corners ... huoommm ... let me know if I could be of any help .... hom

Yes, please, the darker the better. As long as Nob can still find his way to my table with a tankard of ale, er scrumpy . . .

And worthy Barliman, Gary Gygax was the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons; and although I think the two certainly knew each other, it is Pete Fenlon who gets primary credit for starting and maintaining MERP. Of course many wonderful people such as Michael martinez and Chris Seeman were major contributors. Indeed, it was a fortuitous meeting between Pete Fenlon and our favorite sculptor, the man himself, which resulted in the launch of the Mithril Miniature line, now some twenty years ago!

Speaking of that, Master Ent (I'm talkative after being quiet here in my corner for so long), have we any word from Chris or Michael on the release expectations of the Anniversary Figure?

PS. I certainly do come and go Barli, but you are so busy you probably hardly notice.

Rhuooommmhuoommm ... that's good indeed ... rhuomm ... very good, so to say ...huoomm.
As I tried to awake Master Axe99 from a long absence ... rhuoomm ... I am delighted to see some of you all here again in the Pony... huoom ... Well, Master Barliman, as you witness the "Man in the Dark" was always here ... rhuuoommm ...hom ... rhuoomm ... that's what I'm here for ... me mind is about collecting all those good old blokes here again ... rhuoomm ...

I think the problem is that I've become a fashion-victim and have started wearing shades in the bar, because Nob says they "look cool", and it gets very hot in here at times. The fact that I can't see into the corners any more is an inconvenient side-effect. But then, that's what my woolly-footed (or in Nob's case woolly-headed) staff are for.

Regarding your enquiry about Mithrandir, there was a brief discussion about his disappearance in one of the other parlours:

- but the cause of his vanishment and his whereabouts remain a sad mystery. Needless to say, his badgering for a Bombur figure crossed my mind as I suggested the short-and-fat one this month.

What are we celebrating?

Welcome and cheers Master Fangorn!
Master Ent found his forrest, or did the forrest find his Ent???
Well Master Ent, I'll buy you one of these appely honey-coloured liquids and we wait for the other one to arrive.
By the way Master Barliman, it is not important what the celebration is all about, it is important to celebrate no matter what!
