Triple posting...

Also the header could be a bit more detailed. "Tragedy in Hobbitton" is vague enough to make too different interpretations available with only half a dozen drawers in the game. I do not wish for any strict headers but a bit narrower one could be better - at least if we don't get a landslide for new people to join as well.

Like I said earlier it needs to be open enough to keep the possibilities of totally insane stories to be made up open still...

PS. Referring to my first post: I'd keep the last frame open for the mod to decide which it should be, but the maker of the first one could be decided beforehand...

Oh, just some random guy Gandalf had hanged because he couldn't stand it that he was almost as hot and smart as Gandalf himself.

++ a list of characters
++ a volunteer for the starting frame

I agree with Nog about the last frame as well as about the subject being a bit more detailed. However, I don't think the main features of the characters are that necessary to decide (unless it's something like "who chopped off Gollum's arm?").

Inviting people might be useful, either via PM or by posting an ad to the Paper Telephone thread. It might attract a few players.

Also, waiting for a few more days before starting could be a good idea...

Sure, why not.

I just won't be around until Monday though, if that is a problem. I have... Things to do. Artsy things. Yes.

I agree that it might be good to add a detail or two- eg "Trouble with Gandalf in Hobbiton". But I think placing too many demands and restrictions on the panels will lead to amalgamations that make a bit too much sense. I think part of the fun of this is the fact that things don't make sense.

So yes, give us a slightly more detailed topic, or maybe one recurring character or object, but not any more than that.

I agree. Although, something like "Gandalf tries on different hats" might produce things too similar.

- TheGreatElvenWarrior
- Aganzir
- Nogrod
- Thinlómien
- A Little Green
- Oddwen
- phantom, the
- THE Ka
- Volo
- Legate
- Gwathagor

Now we have enough players! We can still accept more if anyone else wants to play. If we get an odd number I can always put a "The End" frame in.

So... Who wants to do the opening panel?

If there are no other volunteers, I have no problems doing the opening.
