I'm Riding a Party Elk

Arae is one of Thranduil's inner posse now! 

These are the new Silvan War Antlers available from the LotRO Store, dyed burgundy to match steedy-kins. 

Baby's First .ABC

My first attempt at creating a playable .abc file for LotRO use :) I was inspired by Winterhome and my love of soundtracks - so here's the Narnian Lullaby from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, played by my minstrel Celebnel and friend. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I mean, it's simple, and the clarinet might be a bit too loud, but it was my first go and the instruments sound well together! 

New Monitor Flailing

I bought a new screen for my PC in the January sales and THE GRAPHICS YOU GUYS *arms like noodles* 

I went from a little laptop on low 

To an old but new to me PC on..well I tried it on high but I was just kidding myself that it could cope

To a new gaming PC on very high but with a 19" 5:4 screen

To this beast - (same) new gaming PC with 24" screen :joy :dance :wave /spin /spin /spin

*Obligatory Frostbluff spin*

Elimraen Does Guardianing Good

The most embarrassing Guardian

Part 1 of ?

Ok, this actually looks alright. A bit awkward (is she dancing?) but she could still come out of it strong.

Ah. No. That's Lorniel. You don't really want to hurt her. 

 Gearing up for another epic bash in the most ungainly fashion imaginable! Never mind eh girl, it'll all come good in the end... 

I....oh....no, just

Elimraen stahp.

 That's more like it. Phew. I was losing the will to keep playing this character.

(This post inspired by checking through my screenshots after a game night and laughing at Elim until I cried)

Weatherstock VII - A Night Full of Stars

26th July - Awaiting screenies. Funny (not funny) story: I played on a friend's computer yesterday, checked my screenshots/videos folder when it was all over and the folder size was 54GB. This morning she tried to zip it and it crashed her computer and now it won't reboot. Weathercrash forever :S

Still, the event itself was magnificent and crazy fun and horribly messy at time (/Epic Conclusions the griefers). I had an absolutely brilliant time playing in the LMB Megaband. I did crash a few times, aside from the griefer crashes, but miraculously all my crashes happened at non-vital times in the schedule.

Three of my favourite bands from the Weatherstock Concert Series made it to the summit (Die Meisterbarden von Bree, The Rolling Kegs and Die Bunten Vogel), and two of them won prizes! /cheer /spin /toast

Last year my favourite songs from the Megaband at the summit were The Farmer Maggot vs Witch-King Pibgorn-off song....I forget what that's actually called, but that's catchy..and Fair Maid and the Fool. This year they were both chosen for the playlist so I was over the moon to be on pibby for the Farmer Maggot song, and horn for FM&tF!! I am desperately hoping that all my screenshots and videos aren't lost forever in my friend's computer crash and that this post will be able to be one heckton of a lot longer.

4th August - Wish granted :D Picture spam follows:

Congratulations first to The Remediators, worthy winners, and also to The Rolling Kegs, Die Meisterbarden von Bree and Starlight. And thanks to everyone who played, and the two wonderful bands that Elimraen got to be roadie for - A Rock and a Hard Place and Mondbarden <3 My second experience of Weatherstock couldn't have been more different from the first, but it was just as memorable. Celebnel got to be there this year, dancing in the audience as well as playing with the LMB, and Elim made an appearance between crashes/megaband sets! Landroval, and the LMB, I heart you. This community is special. 

Hurry up, Winterstock!
