Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Hiya Gildor

That /is/ the "canonical" merp background. Just with bits excised. All the secondary MERP material exists in a weird legal limbo - things like Pete Fenlon's greater Middle Earth map, the names and places. No one is entirely sure who owns them - it might be TE, it might be the original ICE freelancers, it might be modern ICE. The MERP fan modules community, MERP.com and so on do a lot worse. Other Minds magazine does worse. The original ICE nazgul writeups have all appeared in the "Hall of Fire" webzine, word for word transcribed from Lords of Middle Earth Volume 2.

So, don't worry about it. If anyone says anything, just delete the thread with them on.

ah no I would not delete such a beautiful thread, the articles are great!

Bah, don't complain Master Barliman, every discussion is welcome. Everything is better then silence I think!

Ahem, now I know what you look like. I saw your picture..... You'd be surprised when you see yourself...

Is over the vote GF term appears and draw! What happens now? Is vote for Michael or Chris?

Huuuooommmmm .... as far as I remember it was mentioned that in case of a draw Mithril will decide ... rhuoommm ... I hope that doesn't mean to put the final decision on all of the staff ... huoommm ... so it will be Master Tubb and Master O'Brian to decide ... huomrhuom .... hom ...
so if Master O'Brian is a wise man, and I think he is indeed, he will pass on the decision to The Man .... rhuoommm ... to me that makes a lot of sense, as it's The Man who also is in charge to decide which suggestions made in the GF could be realized .... huoommm ... so far I'm right, methinks .... hom
rhuuuuuom ... besides that also means that in case The Man has to decide it means that he will put a lot of his creative energy into the sculpting of what he chose ... rhuooommm ... I think ...

Well, I won't know until I know what you're referring to...

Let's hear a worthwhile rumour first, then I may consider topping up your 'water' bowl.

Yes, confusing isn't it? But if that was your idea of a rumour worth a drink, you've got another think coming.

By the way, forget (for now) what I said a couple of days back about Rowan Atkinson being cast to play Bilbo in 'The Hobbit'. I've been told by someone else that it was an April Fool's Day jape. Shame really - I rather like the idea of seeing him in the role.

Huooommmm .... thank you very much, Master Caster .... huoom ... yes, I also had that rumour you just provided in mind ... huoomm ... but as you asked me to keep it for me I acted suchwise ... rhuoommm ... yes, I did ... though talkative I am, I am not talkative in general ... rhuooomour ...

I suspect they mean that the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves thing is due to be released on ebay.

Huuooommm ... this is not about riddles, Master Barliman, as you might remember that riddles have always been a bit more complex than a simple rumour ... rhuoommm ...
well, then ... huoomm ... concerning the rumours about the next M-releases (sic pl.) you have not been too talkative so far ... rhhuoommm ... not was I ... you just pointed out that there have been some certain information provided by someone ... rhuuooommm ... so that's what rumours are about .... rhuoomm ...
Huuooommmm ... but as Master Gildor seems to be informed about that matter ... rhuoomm ... and he 's an honorable man ... we might the rumour being regarded as a fact ... huoomm ...  ... rhuooommm ... that's what I know about this one  ... rhuoommmhuooommm

Master Barli, may I offer a round of drinks. Master Estel is a lucky guy because his black Numenorean wins. CONGRATS !
Can´t wait to see the result of CT´s interpretation.

Huooommmm ... right you are again, Master Barliman ... huoommm ... it was a draw and that's a fact .... Master O'Brian's explanation about this in the last newsletter didn't convince me very much ... rhuoommm ... anyway ... I'll not complain about the outcome .... huoommm ... ah, could I have this bowl being topped up, please .... huoommm ....
