Roggie's flames flared, and his shadow blended into the environs around him. Those nearby heard a hoarse whisper tinged with panic.

Elven hair pins! Have we then no hope? Is the darkness coming? Darkness inescapable?

I hope to finish up "Gamba's Vengeance" this afternoon or evening sometime. It should wind up quickly. In case it never sees the darkness of the Downs, at the moment it's in RTF, here.

Still the debate continues. BW has expressed some serious concerns, among which are keeping it short, succinct, and Tolkien-focused; maintaining high-writing quality; not straying into dice-battles (expressly verboten) or endless cyclical thrashing; and again, remaining On-Tolkien. All these are good concerns. If this thing does go through, all those concerns will have an effect on the rules.

I continue to hope that a solution can be found for good-quality, brief, enjoyable, satirical side-plots and challenges.

Meanwhile, have an eye on that lady with the elven hair pin, lest all of civilization crumble before our eyes. Alas that it should have come to this!
