Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

This is a talkative bunch today...

Modern technology? Bah humbug. Facebook? Never even looked at it. Grumble grumble grumble.

But seriously, what's it all about? Can it serve people virtual scrumpy? (which is all my scrumpy is anyway).

That would probably require bottling and distribution of "Barley's Best".  Virtual scrumpy just isn't the same.

@ Barli: ( " The Ninth Gate " ) : yes, and with Emanuelle Seigner !
@ Holger : c´mon . . . . Post your pictures, not your face. We already know it . . .

The book is a darn sight better. The hero (the Depp character in the movie) is a skeevy rare book dealer who  is a descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte who has a massive miniatures collection, wherein he plays out Waterloo again and again. I like to think its a Prince August 25mm Waterloo army.

And the plot is all about a rare Alexandre Dumas book. Also, Satan.

Huooommmmm ... no one around? .... homm ... sorry, Man in the Dark, I didn't realize you being present ... sorry ... huoommm ... what about Gandalf and Thorin smoking their pipes and talking ... rhuoommm ....
Oh, Master Nob, lawyer as you are ... could you please tell your client to serve one bowl of that watery-he-knows-of-well, please? ... and hurry up, please ... rhuoommm ... took a while to sculpt Bombur, I've heard ... well, yesterday I managed to assemble them rally-figures ... huom ... excellent they are ... quite dynamic in their poses and very much 3-dimensional ... huoomm ... I heard someone complain about the way of casting ... having all those additional parts to the figures ... rhuoommm ... as for me it's simply perfectly done, as this is the only way to give the figures that touch of movement ... huoomm ... I especially like that Half-orc standard bearer and the new design of the standard ... huom ... have a look at the design of the swords, Master Caster ... hoommm
Well, I've finished that bowl by now .... rhuoommm ... and have two leaves ... rhuoomm ... no, should mean  I have to leave ...

Huoommm ... Master Erchamion, as far as I can remember the list of the unreleased GF-figures reads:
- Bert the troll
- Bard & thrush
- Celebrian
- Witch-king at Pelennor
- Durin VI
- Black Numenorian Capt. of M. Morgul
- Half-orc standard-bearer
- Female assasin of Dol Amroth
- at the moment there's a race between Bombur and some others ...

That's all I know of ... rhuoommm ... in case my memory is failing and meets our barkeep's I can ask Master Axel about this, because he always keeps records about this matter ... rhuoomm

Huoommmm ... that's what I recall ... huom ... if my memory serves me well ...

Huoommmmm ... this doesn't matter, Master Barliman ... as he will appear anyway ... rhuoomm ... or did you forget what I said ... ? ... huoommm ... I think he'll be sitting with Bifor and Bombur at a table ... rhuoommmhuoommmhom ...

No, I understood the Unexpected Party business, Master Tree, but the Bombur figure I want to see is one representing him as he fought at the Battle of Five Armies, not singing and eating and playing a drum at bag End. Two quite different representations.

Several friends and I role-play HP Lovecraft Call of Cthulhu. It is an excellent game system from Chaosium, and we use rafm miniatures made especially for the game.

Their quality is nothing like Mithrils produced by Chris, but they serve the purpose.

After reading the HPL books, I later always wanted to play CoC - at least it still sits on my book shelf. Perhaps better I never played it, is insanity contagious?  From player character to player ...



[Sorry, could not resist ...]

I have heard its cousin Runequest would be a nice option for ME gaming. I think I also own one or two of the miniatures, hidden somewhere in my treasure chests ...

I think the standard bearer was a Half-Troll Angmar and the Female Assassin of Dol Amroth won the vote to Half-Orc Warband Leader. And where the mistake it is in the list of Mithril  ..... unless Master Barliman gave me a drink too strong for me .....

Well Master Barliman, I'm very glad I haven't met Mrs B first thing in the morning.....

This is exactly what I expected ...

I think everyone is readying themselves for the heavy drinking session that will be required to celebrate Bombur's victory in the GF poll! - at least, I hope it will be to celebrate victory, and not to drown their sorrows at his defeat...

Oh yes, it is so hot out there, that even I need a cold ale!!

And I have seen many nice things last days. So it seems, that there are a lot of devotees of Saruman out there, gathering their forces. No one knows, if this is for pleasure of the Dark Lord or if this arouses his anger......
