This place has become abandoned–what a shame!! It has been nearly a month since the last post, coincidentally on my birthday, May 20th. I would worry that the beer-lines from the kegs have gotten quite skunky by now, but the beer here was always skunky! I also notice that a couple of the Warg-skin rugs have crawl off somewhere. We have had many great conversations over the years here at the Pony. I hope the place doesn’t become a broken down hideout for ruffians and worse!

I imagine that many of us have had other priorities to worry about in these difficult times. Hopefully things will improve soon.

dont worry master wrich, I suppose the “Green Dragon Inn” should open soon provided master Barliman is ok to move his job

work is advancing slowly but safely on the new site, and well soon the forum should open over there I hope

I’ve got to MOVE? But…but…but…all my treasures are buried in the basements HERE! I’ll never get everything dug up in time to shift it, whenever the move is. We’d better go and start now.
NOB? – TO THE CELLARS, AND START DIGGING!!

Dust..dusty…and dust again…. the bar is full of dust. Finally someone stopped for a drink at the inn. I was desperate. It was too quiet … cheers guys… NOB is still not here, but I have my water bottle just to “kill time” until someone comes into the inn…. I must look better around the dark corners… Maybe Master Twitch is in some of them….

I suspect you’re just trying to get out of digging. Very well. I’ll just have to go and start the job on my own. You’ll have to take over serving duties up here. I’ve put some boxes behind the bar so that ypu can see the customers!

Tom’s post certainly got the inhabitants out of their slumber . Still here, until it closes down and The Green Dragon’ opens its doors, I hope the staff are kept on as they have done a good job so far

huoomm … what is this green-dragon-thing? … huom … do we now have to re-write parts of Master Tolkien’s writings (I wouldn’t dare) and re-name one of the most beautiful Mithril ranges as well? … rrrhu°Om ??? … that doesn’t make much sense to me … alas …

The “Green Dragon Inn” master ent is one of the most famous inn in hobbitown, near “The Water”, in the Shire. It was ransacked during the time of Sharkey and the four hobbit heroes restored it afterwards.

It is also at the doorsign of this inn that Bilbo ran breathless just when the Dwarves were leaving, to finally accept the contract offered to him by Thorin & Co… thus beginning this epic adventure.

(and also in anticipation of a forthcoming vignette depicting this scene… but I did not say a word…)

nothing to do with Mithril, I can say

and I don’t know when it will come to life i only have an early unfinished 3D concept art which I can’t share yet but maybe I can describe ?

a signpost with a dragon…. a dwarf on poney extending hand toward an arriving hobbit, another dwarf putting stuff on another poney, and a hobbit running towards them brandishing a paper in his hand….

rhuoohûm … so Pheaton-Design … it might be …. hmmmm … but why re-name this old Prancing Pony for that? … hU°uomm … anyway, you’re the Elf, Master Gildor, so … do as you like … huom … I’m just some Ent and will stay here to the end … homm … if I’m lucky I might find some of them coiny things downstairs below the trap-door behind the bar … I’m sure Master Barliman forgot some treasures down there, as his memory is like a lumber-room, as people in Bree use to say … hOommm … before I, of course, saved those very nice though bity and smelling doormats … huom … they’re mine and still in good shape and awful to look at … hommm ….

I dont intend to erase or rename the prancing poney at all I just intented to create another one which is the green dragon inn…

Now more seriously,of course if MMP folks are not happy with that at all and insist on keeping the prancing poney “version x” I will do so as I would not go against MMP community
(that’s why I ususally organize polls)

I am sorry if I upset you Dieter…

Our dear master Milo informed me today that he was currently the dark… adventuring near Cirith Ungol and certainly facing Mordor threats… He will contact us again when he sees the light again.

Let’s hope he finds it soon

Gentlemen I am looking for something I have lost on this forum…. a picture…

Not so long ago I saw posts from one of you with old catalogs or flyers, among them there was a page with an announcement for the “forthcoming” MW346 and 347 (which were never produced) but we could clearly see on the page, a drawing of a dwarf and another of an half-orc… I am trying to retrieve this page but it eludes me. if someone could tell me where it is? or better send me a good pic of it, I’d like to extract the drawing of the half orc to use as a “main pic” for the new database for mw346 entry
