Since you’re giving me the opportunity here, Gildor, I’m going to clarify to the members of the community, the birth of Mithril Maniac. It is undeniable that Jacques played a preponderant role in his creation but this idea is not the work of a single person. It thus germinated in a collective way after the meeting between Jacques and myself, then a few months later, with that of another future member of the association, Hervé. All three of us lived in the same city, and we met every week in a cafe, a veritable craziest think tank, where poets, musicians, visual artists, role-play and future players met and intermingled. geeks with the appearance of the laptop. A true artistic melting pot. We were always very happy to meet and we would have for nothing in the world, missed a single appointment. We brought with us our latest achievements, painted Mithril figurines of course. The figurines passed from hand to hand and we waited a little feverishly the comments of each other. But at the same time, aware of being lucky enough to be at least three on Nantes to share this passion for Mithril figurines, we felt alone and had a growing desire to meet other “fans”. We had, so quickly, the idea of creating a fanzine called “Mithril Maniac” that would link our small community in Nantes and other French enthusiasts. At least, we hoped.
Mithril Maniac would deal with the latest Mithril novelties, incongruities encountered on our figurines, future projects of the brand Prince-August but also the writings of Professor JRR Tolkien not to mention the music we listened to during these moments of relaxation that were the sessions of painting. It would be quarterly. We made about fifteen. What a story ! Then, our passion was gradually extinguished, we were dispersed and then met again, but the passion of our youth had left us and the Mithril were really no longer our main concerns.
If tonight I write these words, listening to Loreena McKennitt (as in the good old days) is that I really want to pay a tribute through the Trophy Mithril Maniac, my brother’s weapon disappeared too quickly and too early last spring. It’s only for that reason that I pulled it out of the memory drawer.
Gentlemen, everyone, I wish you a nice evening.Really sad I did not know your association @ that time. I felt very often alone in my little city (Pau).
BTW, it’s been 31 years for me.
I bought [mith]M6[/mith], [mith]M14[/mith], [mith]M15[/mith], [mith]M18[/mith] & [mith]M24 [/mith] in Paris, for around 100F just when the came out on the marketplace.
Shop is still called l’Oeuf Cube but they do not sell anymore mithrils.
