TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
I'd like to sign up for this round, please! I suppose quarantine gives us all an excuse to hang out in the Downs!

Yay!

Also taking Nogrod and A Little Green's text message signups and Formendacil's from Facebook, so now we certainly have enough people.

Starting tomorrow sometime during the European day, sign ups still open until then! I will still randomise the order of the players, so don't make any conclusions based on your placement on the current list. And let's try to keep it in the good old max 3 days per person!

Excellent!

Can't wait to get going, and who knows, we might have a game that can be concluded in less than 2 months.

I had forgotten how long these games actually take... well, at least did take. Let's see if the quarantine makes people faster to react?

Good to see you all for long time!

Indeed! And so far it's been quite fast!

Also a heads-up that if you use the email notifications, check that your email doesn't treat them as spam. I could have sent Pitch's sentence on half a day earlier if I hadn't blindly trusted gmail. But lesson learnt, shouldn't happen again!

I think that may have been my fastest turnaround ever!

Aaaand we're officially past the halfway marker! I had to shuffle things around a bit, so I am drawing the next picture myself (should be fun ) and then everyone will get to their second round. Hope everyone's been enjoying it so far, I certainly have

Argh! With all the werewolf madness I missed the reveal!

Seriously, Lommy, what was with that opening sentence?! Also I have to admit, because both you and Legate have mentioned it, I traced that horse!

I think Nog's warrior rodent is brilliant but poor Shadowfax. From a king among horses to, well, a rat.

It took me so many reads of G55's sentence to understand why Form's picture had a ruler in it ...

Lommy I adore your picture but you definitely started a nudity trend - this is meant to be a family friendly forum!

Greenie I am deeply concerned about what has happened to you over lockdown. Any other odd scenes around your house you'd like to share?

Overall a great Paper Telephone! Thank you for modding, Lommy, and I would absolutely be up for another round.

You'll have to wait until the next round! (I'm definitely in for another one, whoever is modding!) Seriously though, I saw that sentence and went, a horse and a naked hobbit, no way am I going to be able to draw that.

There were some really impressive pieces this time, especially Lommy, Pitchwife and Baranduin's gorgeous pictures. Legate's long-suffering David and Rune's armed to the teeth -pun also caused giggles.

I missed out on the last round, but I'd be interested in signing up if another round starts up again soon.

I am quickly counting 10 potential players for another round which is already a respectable number.
