Floating Log Friday
By Lina Willowwood Ol' Flourdumpling is busy stuffing his face over in Bywater during the
Farmer's Fair, and there are lots of visitors there stepping on the
local hobbits. So naturally, the weekly hobbit inn night will move from
the Green Dragon! To The Floating Log!  Time: 7:30PM ((UK time, 2:30PM servertime)) Location: Floating Log Inn, Frogmorton Have no fear, master Ponto Hopsbloom is more than happy to welcome hobbits to the Floating Log in Frogmorton. He'll greet yer all warmly, although hopefully not with warm ale, and better not with the most "hoppy" of the local ales... Pycella will be hosting his Friday, so have a chat with her if yer ponder on something! Usual Green Dragon Guidelines apply, which means this is an event by and for hobbits. The odd visiting dwarf is always welcome, though! Should yer have any entertainment (songs, stories, riddles, poems or the likes), please bring it along! On Friday September 14, we will hopefully be back in the Green Dragon! |
A Toolman's Treasure
By Pycella Woodberry There are secrets in the dusty shelves of the Great Smials. Mysterious notes with curious clues of treasures. Come help us solve the riddles! Date: Sunday September 23th (NB has been postponed to the 23rd!) Time: 7:30PM ((UK, 2:30PM servertime)) Location: The Great Smials, Tuckborough  A mysterious note found at the Great Smials library Today, I was rummaging the Grand Smials library, searching for a long-forgotten pie recipe or two. When I was leafing through a worn mushroom recipe book, I suddenly found an old note tucked between the pages. By the looks of it, the parchment was very old and the writing on it had almost worn off, but when I went out and studied the paper in the bright daylight, I could make out the words on top of the note: ”A Toolman’s Treasure”! Following this, there is a short text that seems to be a clue that leads to the treasure itself. While I am still trying to figure out what it says, I would ike to ask if anyone would be interested to help with the treasure seeking? I am not the best riddle solver in these parts, it would surely be wise to have some company with quicker wits. And well, it’s always more fun to have some grand company with you. If you are interested in this mysterious quest, please meet me inside the Great Smials (the main hall) on Sunday September 23th, at seven and half bells in the evening. Feel free to bring some food along – we might have a long stroll ahead! Yours, Pycella |
Celebrating the Bards of Old
By Lina Willowwood A day to remember the bards of old and the music they inspired. Not least that grand feller Ronald Dwale. Welcome to the annual Bards Day celebration in the Ivy Bush Inn! 
Date: Sunday September 2nd Time: 7:30PM ((UK, 2:30PM servertime)) Place: Ivy Bush Inn, Hobbiton A day to remember the writers of the tales, poems and songs we treasure today. A selection of tunes related to one of the finest writers we have seen, master Ronald Dwale. The Brandy Badgers will perform a selection of songs and poems based on the works of master Dwale. Afterwards, the stage will be open for other bards who would like to share suitable works for the occasion. All are welcome to come to attend the Bards Day: hobbits, dwarves, elves and men. (( OOC details: J.R.R. Tolkien passed away September 2nd 1973. On this date, every year since 2012, we have paid homage to him with an evening of music and poetry in the Ivy Bush, playing tunes inspired by Tolkien’s works (from the movies or adapted from his writings and poems) and reciting some of Tolkien's poems. The main part of the concert is performed by The Brandy Badgers, the in-house music collective in the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom. Given the event theme and the date, this is not a strict roleplaying event, so players of all sizes and shapes are welcome. However, we will stay in-character: Instead of speaking about Tolkien, the musicians will play songs inspired by Ronald Dwale, Tolkien’s in-game alter ego. Although there would be many lore reasons to have the concert in the Bird and Baby, the inn is somewhat unsuitable for music. So we have moved to the Ivy Bush instead. )) The Badgers will perform for ca 90 minutes. Afterwards, the stage is open for anyone who would like to play a tune or recite a poem suitable for such an event. Welcome to the Ivy Bush, Sunday September 2nd! |
Ivy Bush Friday
By Lina Willowwood The Farmer’s Faire starts on August 23th, which means there is murder
(of foods) and mayhem in Bywater. Silly mayor! The Dragon will be a
noisy place, so the weekly hobbit inn night will move from the Green
Dragon! To the Ivy Bush!  Date: Friday August 24th Time: 7:30PM ((UK time, 2:30PM servertime)) Location: Ivy Bush Inn, Hobbiton
Date: Friday August 31st Time: 7:30PM ((UK time, 2:30PM servertime)) Location: Ivy Bush Inn, Hobbiton Given that Bywater is pretty much uninhabitable during the Farmer's Faire, we'll move GDF to other venues when it is on. For August 24th and 31st, Hereward Loamsdown at the Ivy Bush is happy to have us over. More customers than the local shirriff Robin Smallburrow is always welcome. So, expect friendly greetings and even friendlier prices! This Ivy Bush Friday will also tie in with Bards Day on Sunday September 2nd. For future Fridays, we plan to go to:
Usual Green Dragon Guidelines apply, which means this is an event by and for hobbits. The odd visiting dwarf is always welcome, though! Should yer have any entertainment (songs, stories, riddles, poems or the likes), please bring it along!)) |

A Tasty Dragon Friday
By Pycella Woodberry Do you value food over hoarded gold? Would you like to share your most precious recipe to other hobbits? Then you’re in for a treat at the Tasty Dragon Friday!
 Date: Friday August 17 Time: 7:30 PM ((UK time / 2:30 PM servertime)) Location: Green Dragon Inn, Bywater All cooks,
bakers, and eaters are more than welcome at the Green Dragon on Friday 17 th August,
when we will devote the Green Dragon Friday to food. There will be some grand meals
for tasting, of course, and don’t worry, Mayor Whitfoot’s invite has
mysteriously been lost by the Quick Post, so there will be enough food for
everyone. The evening also includes a pie lecture where you can get the
esteemed “Pie Maven” title yourself. To pass, you need the minimum belly size
of 40, plus some space in your belly ((5 bag slots for the pies)). We also welcome all hobbits to share their best recipes (and best samples) to other patrons. Other delicious entertainment is also grand. Treat the others with songs, poems, stories and other things that make a hobbit drool. No need to sign up beforehand – just wobble in and let Miss Pycella (the hostess) know. ((OOC: This will be a usual Green Dragon evening, where roleplaying hobbits and travelling dwarves are welcome. Feel free to share some real recipes too! )) |
Grand Hobbit Summer Rooftop Picnic, Sunday 22 July
By Lina Willowwood Joy of joys, the summer is here! And summer means time for food and drink! Well, so does the rest of the year too, but there’s one thing summer surely brings. Picnics! Get ready for this year’s Grand Summer Picnic!  Date: Sunday July 22 Time: 7:30PM ((UK/BST, 2:30PM servertime)) Location: On the roof of the Golden Perch in Stock, the Shire.
We are pleased to invite all hobbits and good friends to this year’s
summer picnic! Activities to look forward to include music, dancing,
games, food and drinks, fireworks and competitions. New of this year is that we'll go on a picnic in Stock. The roof of The Golden Perch looks inviting, as does the picnic table just beneath the apple tree there. Please bring your own food to share with the others, for the picnic potluck! All hobbits are invited, except Lobelia and Lotho. We're still undecided over Ol' Flourdumpling, because he'll end up eating all the food. There may be a pie rolling run as well, so bring an extra set of dry clothes... (( OOC: This is certainly a hobbit-preferred event, but well-mannered dwarves and good friends from taller persuasions may surely pop around too. Just don’t block the view of the locals during the entertainment. )) |
