I’ve just read that the role of Bilbo Baggins has finally been (well, ‘bean’ perhaps…) cast for the Hobbit movie.

Rowan Atkinson!

I can see that working out very well indeed.

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.

Gavin, delete the thread? Heaven forbid! These details are great, and an easy reference when I am online anyway and don’t want to go down to my “dungeon” to look for the references while RPGing. And I do encourage any Mithril fan who still Role Plays to go the the Other Minds website http://othermindsmagazine.com/ (a continuation of Chris Seeman’s Other Hands), as they have many good resources and contacts. Of course, http://www.merp.com is excellent too.

Er, since the thread already exists, why has it spilled over into the taproom as well? There’s barely enough room in here as it is…!

I think (and hope) it’s Chris that has the casting vote.

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 …

Rhuoommm …. as for the other matter, Master Barliman, I’m sure that our Master Caster was right saying that you’ll be surprised … huoooommmmm … sure I am … hom …

Huoommmmm … just regard what I said as being a rumour becoming a fact … huoomm … hom … don’t you remember that we had to move in the old ‘Pony’ from room to room … homm … once a while … alas … refurbishing and recleaning, even painting … huoomm occasionally cleaning some wargskins rugs … rhuoomm … you know … huom … you’re part of that, Master Barliman … so you will be … rhuooommmmhuooomm …
in spite of that serious matters may … huom … may I have a bowl of that very-clear-clean-honey-coloured-watery-liquid, please …? … alas, them coiny things … rhuoomm … none of them I own at the moment but I can pay in rumours … rhuuooomm, if you don’t mind …. huom

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.

The rumour is about a group of “people” getting put together and then pulled appart again…:rolleyes:
A free drink for my friend the wisest of the Ent’s please.

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 …

You people do love riddles, don’t you? But you never provide sufficient information for a slow-witted barkeep to have any idea what you’re talking about.

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