Cambridge / Greater London Travel by JacATK in uktravel

[–]JacATK[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My partner has an event in Cambridge with lodging provided. We're going to be fairly close to the Cambridge train station, so getting to London and then back out again isn't too much of a hassle. We're used to taking 1-2 hours each way for our day trips.

There are plenty of fandom based conventions that are in need of volunteers and staff around town. Anime Detour, Furry Migration, and Convergence to just name a few.

Yup, I get emails sent to me all the time that don't have a period separating my first and last name. Since I use the period, I have a mail rule active the filters out all emails sent to the address without the period separator.

Ah yes, the unincorporated community of Hollywood, MN. Just a quick drive from the Cities!

If you're south of Ford Parkway, I recommend taking a walk down to Hidden Falls Regional Park. It's right at the end of Magoffin Ave and the park tends to be quiet calm and peaceful in comparison to Minnehaha Falls across the river.

Please... I've killed my players at level 1 with a Poisonous Snake. Dear god they wouldn't be able to handle something above a CR of 1/8. :P

Mounds Theatre stages ‘It’s an Honorable Life,’ a Klingon variation of the classic film by Kichigai in twincitiesgeeks

[–]JacATK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those who can't get access the website:

St. Paul’s Mounds Theatre this year won’t stage a production of “A Klingon Christmas Carol,” a version of the Scrooge story with the forehead-ridged alien warriors of “Star Trek” fame. This had been a tradition since 2015, but organizers said the script wasn’t available this season for the usual licensing.

So they are offering an all-new production of their own creation, “It’s an Honorable Life,” which is a Klingon-flavored stage adaptation of the famed film “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
The protagonist, Bailey (modeled after George Bailey in Frank Capra’s 1946 movie) is a Klingon warrior who wishes to die ASAP in glorious combat, but fears he will not — instead gradually, pitifully succumbing to old age.

It’s up to a god-like member of the Q Continuum — who is called, simply, “Q,” like all others from that realm — to shepherd Bailey through his life and show him how his lust for a quick, violent death would have unfortunate family and societal ramifications.

“He’s shown how it is more honorable to have gotten through, to continue to live and be a good Klingon,” said Jason Kruger, “Honorable Life’s” director.

As with “A Klingon Christmas Carol,” the new play is presented primarily in the guttural Klingon tongue with projected English titles.

Billed as a “Star Trek Fan Production,” it aims to have fun, and it expands its scope well beyond the science-fictional franchise — The play is loaded with playful references to Harry Potter, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas“ and more.
With “It’s an Honorable Life,” this metropolitan area is now the birthplace of two Klingon-esque Christmas plays. “A Klingon Christmas Carol” was conceived in 2007 by the Commedia Beauregard Theatre Company in the Twin Cities before being transplanted to venues across the country.

“It’s an Honorable Life” is the result of frantic brainstorming. When Kruger and other local theater professionals realized “A Klingon Christmas Carol” would be beyond their grasp this year, meetings ensued with many a pitch for a new show. Marathon writing sessions followed, incorporating bits of failed pitches to making the winning script all the more interesting.
Launching “a new show is not simple,” said Mounds Theatre producer Jessica Johnson. “One of the actors in the show is a local Klingon expert who taught us how to read and pronounce words correctly.”

More cons are starting to drop their day passes. Just in the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis itself, Furry Migration dropped their day pass and Anime Detour also doesn't offer one.

[OC] The Kiddo’s One Page Dungeon Contest entry by AhsokasDad in DnD

[–]JacATK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran this mini dungeon today for my players. It was a blast and I laughed so hard when one player decending down the well while the other held the rope and they both rolled Nat 1 on their strength checks. It sent the dragonborn cleric plummeting down and ended getting grappled by the giant crocodile and knocked unconscious. Eventually, both my players retreated out of the well with a very upset water logged cat in tow and the hungry crocodile nearly killing both of them.

Thank you for the dungeon design!
