You mean the first sentence in every round, right?

I would suggest that each player in a round should try to keep their contribution at least vaguely Tolkien-related. You never know, that might make it even funnier.

I'm happy to let it pass for now, but let's see how it goes.

I'll give it a shot.

Agreed. So long as this stays Tolkien-related it can continue. If it gets out of control and evolves to something that is 100% non-Tolkien-related, which I can see happening quickly if we're not careful, I will shut it down.

Hookbill I trust that you will help to oversee that it remains as requested.

As long as artistic ability is not required, I'd love to take part.

(In other words...will stick figures convey enough of a message?

)

I'll sign up, but due to a lack of a scanner I'll have to only make up sentences.

I'd love to sign up. Sounds like fun. Rather like "Whisper Down the Alley", which I always enjoyed as a kid.

I will try my best.

But it will be mostly up to the individual writers and artists to keep it Tolkien, but if I see something going too far, I'll send it back and say "Change it! Ye fool!"

Oh, you can use Microsoft paint or something if you wish. Check out the example in the link I provided on the first post.

This sounds like a lot of fun. Count me in!

wilwarin538 · 09-07-2006, 05:03 AM

Count me in to, though all the pics will be done on the computer, so I'm not sure how well that will turn out.

But it sounds like a great idea.

Oh, and a question, will everyone get the chance to make up a sentence and do a picture? Or will we only get to do one?
