I think we all agree Lommy's round was FANTASTIC!
I've sent the first sentence for the next game off to Rune who must ponder the deep secrets hidden within it... (Hookbill) - Write Rune Son of Bjarne - Draw Thinlómien - Write Aganzir - Draw Beregond - Write Nogrod - Draw Legate of Amon Lanc - Write Oddwen - Draw The Elf-warrior - Write Volo - draw Kitanna - write Eönwë - Draw Finduilas - write THE Ka - Draw Rikae - Write A Little Green - Draw Holbytlass- Write Lommy mk2 - Draw The Might – Write Any more?

Wow, I'm surprised this is the first game I joined.

That last round was great! Good job everybody! All the pictures were fun to look at - so much detail in all of them - and the ensuing sentences cracked me up.

Awesome pictures and sentences everyone!
It's funny how Faramir became Aragorn, then became Boromir, then became Faramir again, then became Aragorn again, and finally ended up as Boromir again. Hookbill's camouflage Britain and Beregond's unfairly treated Ent are especially hilarious! And Lily's airplane should watch its language a little more. |

I guess it could be the character called "Vilijonkka" in Finnish (I have no idea what it might be in any other language)... and I think there are a few of them... Or then not... Maybe they are those odd creatures you can see having party - like dancing by the fire - in the background in "Who would comfort Nyyti?" or on some other works as well... There is a similarity if you look at them!

But those creatures look like some drawn by Tove Jansson. As a matter of fact, when I opened the pic and just glanced at it quickly (before reading Legate's comments), I first thought that the firework guy looked a bit like the Muskrat. And for this post not being completely off-topic, I have sent my picture now.

Okay, that's the last off-topic comment for me, but to make it clear: I was saying how it is in Czech, for that's the only version in which I know it.

Oh dear, the Groke sounds terrible. :/ Blah.
Now that I look at the picture myself, yes, maybe it does have a Janssonisque feel to it, most of all with the Aragorn though. |

As usually I seem to be a bit late to congratulate all on the last round, however, I do indeed find it was one of the best so far.
I especially liked the whole Menels worshipping part as well as the German airplane. Great job, everyone! Now I am really looking forward to this next one.

Sorry guys. It seems I have been dragging this down once again but I've had a real tight weekend and to top that I fell ill and have just slept and hanged around in the bathroom for the last two days...
I'll try to make my pic today so we can get this going again.

Oh Nog, indeed, hope you feel better now - but despite that, you managed to make quite a masterpiece!

I've sent the picture to The Elf-Warrior. Hopefully, I'll get a sentence before I go away for a few days so that Volo can do some weird stuff... Yeah.

The round has lasted five days, and we're practically halfway through already.

Anyone writing want to swap with me?
I can also draw, but I would for now rather write.

I sent my sentence, but I'm not quite sure it sent... if you see what I mean. Did I Hookbill?

Mr Might has said he can't draw at the moment, so we need another player to come in for a spot of drawing. Any takers?

It's such a long time since she told me she would draw it "tomorrow"... I doubt she's going to do it today, but I'll force her to do it tomorrow...
