Off topic, I am just about to enter tech week for the show I am producing/directing, so my time for anything other than that is going to be extremely limited for about a week. I will check in as much as I can, but don’t hesitate to move Hraedsig along if you need to. I think you’ve probably got a gist of what he’s about by this point. 
Good luck and have fun. We’ll move Hraedsig along.
Good luck with tech week! We’ll try not to drop any massive ancient cursed stones on Hraedsig. That could cause an ouchie, after all.
What show? I’m a theatre person myself.
Really? Everywhere I turn there are other theatre people.
I wonder what it is about these games that draws us in?
Good luck with tech Shadow. Remember coffee and asprin, coffee and asprin. These are your friends.
I was in some plays in high school and college, but never since, despite being asked. Tempting, though.
I did the acting thing in High School. Would have done it in college, but engineering isn’t very conducive to leaving you time to do shows. I saw how hard the people involved in college productions worked. Trying to do that and have a full-time engineering courseload is crazy.
My girlfriend’s theater involvement, on the other hand, involved being behind the scenes as a techie and stage manager. (She’s not the attention whore I am.) However, she was convinced to act once in High School as the part of Rizzo in Grease.
Now I just got to get her into a game of Mafia, but with law school she doesn’t have time.
It’s called “Miss Margarida’s Way,” by Roberto Athayde. It’s an allegory about dictatorships through the guise of a psychotic 8th grade teacher. It’s fun 
Yeah, I’m a designer by choice but I got roped into playing a part in “Arsenic and Old Lace” two years ago. I was creating props and they told me that I could either “make a corpse, or be one.” Guess what looked most realistic?

Next week I’m prompting for my group’s production of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”. Too busy to perform but their original prompt dropped out and they asked me to stand in.
Sheesh. We are a theatrical bunch, aren’t we?
I play chess and computer games.
Still, associating with you theatrical types is fun!
Apoligies folks, my computer got sick and died because of some nasssty virus, so I had to get a whole new system (yay tax refund). Thusly I have been gone and unable to communicate.
Welcome back, LR! Watch out for the cursed runes and all.
Personally I’d like to find a “Glyph of Fluffy Kittens” for once.

FURRY!
There’s some crossover, if it comes to that. For instance, the last act of Othello features a famous example of a smothered mate. Othello, thinking his wife Desdemona has been unfaithful to him, suffocates her with a pillow.
And Macbeth features a Castle!
Also Shakespeare’s famous idea of Lady Macbeth not being able to wash her hands of blood was clearly based on the ‘touch move’ rule…
About freakin’ time I managed to make my Fear save.
This is really good stuff, What Exit?. I’m feeling just a little bit of every scary movie I’ve ever seen, washing back over me, in some scene near the end where the heroine is reaching a trembling hand towards the rusty old doorknob and everyone shouts, “DON’T GO IN THERE!” :eek:
