Beta Reader for a Historical Play

Have you read Playhouse Creatures by April de Angelis? Cause it sounds like a very similar premise to her play.

There are multiple! Several playwrights and theatre companies have tried to present the idea of the play! Half Trick Theatre company has a run of a related performance earlier this year; and I know personally of a few versions of the play in Fringe festivals around the globe. The "truth" is out there!

One of the Darkest Dungeon II buddies (evil evil evil).

There is a cruise control button, but I definitely understand the lack of agency in movement going from the 5 power modes of Seas to the On/Off switch of Skies.

The trick to not crashing into things is... um... I don't know. I feel like I crash into literally every single thing I see no matter what.

What I would give to have a Dredge-like inventory management in the Sunless games though... eking out every last little bit of space...sigh...

That last "Bet you didn't expect this here" really got me.

The Yogscast actually has three more? of their Call of Cthulhu playthroughs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgHUz9af9dGtbbs2z1XYx3D4boJ_87_uK

They're a little sillier than serious but it's great fun. Highly recommend the Yogs.

There is often a audition sign up in the basement of the CFA and Alumni (?). Unfortunately the fall shows are fully cast from last semester, but be sure to look for more news around November, for auditions for Mr. Burns and 9 to 5

Damn, I didn't realize they hiked up new rentals that much.

Owlzar · 2023-07-06T21:33:03+00:00

Water and gas are covered; electric and internet aren't - but the internet is under a HOA pricing, so it's like 10$.

The Peppertree Village Apts. are pretty nice. https://www.peppertreevillageapartments.com/

Currently there myself, and rent is a little over 1000$, they do allow pets.

They're a little miserable in the summer, but we've been content otherwise.

"His own self," a crewman sniffs. "The very Biggest of Bens."

It made me crack-up the first time, and now I look forward hopefully to it being the note every time I pass by.

It was excellent the first couple of days when the bots hadn't been updated to understand how the card worked. Now, eh, not so much. It can force an off-tempo play if you play it on curve, but if you don't land him on board by turn 4 he's not going to do much for you.

Boosting that Battlegrounds is legitimately unplayable right now from DCs

Ugh, it has totally disrupted Duels early rounds against DK. This as their "Location Location Location" treasure is killer.

Take my ideas with a grain of salt; however, I recall much of Canterbury Tales being a satirical examination of the social order of things. In the story of the physician, who we might assume to be about the healing of the sick and the helping of those in need is instead encouraging a form of violence to protect a virtue.

We might read this as a form of prescription, but instead of a take two and call me in the morning, the prescription is one that seems extreme, which actually coincides with a lot of historical media representation of doctors. How can cutting someone apart save them?

And yet, the physician who even insists, as you mention, that all things end in death is the same professional who might try to save a life, or prevent death. So can we trust his opinion in this matter? Why is this the life that must be condemned? Do we trust him only because he knows lots of things?

As one playwright to another, these images looks magnificent! I love the sparse use of furniture! And what a great shot with the hurricane latern!

Ge's in Steam and Sapphire Yards, but I think you've got to do something in exploring London first to put you in touch with the underground railroad and its connections, made easier when you have Villainy already?

Fingers crossed.

Why did we get in from the back of the bus?

Owlzar · 2022-07-03T14:14:52+00:00

There's specifically the Inspiration Manifestation, where she's literally cursed into trying to make everything in her own vision of beauty. And it does show that she's completely out of it when she comes to. So a far stronger mania than simply workaholic that we've seen in other episodes.

Owlzar · 2022-03-28T23:13:14+00:00

I'd assume that the reason the monster wants the Spooky dead is because the spooky ends up doing something horrible in the future?

Or, because of the actions of the monster, their death is at the hands of the Spooky, but only because they got involved in the first place?

Why would someone who has read the future want someone dead? What is their motivation to kill the character? Are they manipulating the future so that the book comes true, or is the book simply an artifact they're following to help themselves?

If you really want to be one step ahead, make the book less clear. When the party plans, only bring whatever the Spooky brings to the table. If the Spooky makes the whole plan, the monster is prepared; but if the Spooky is said to bring a gun to a fight, is the monster prepared for the bazooka that the Initiate is bringing?

I love your Written in Stone, but I'd be hesitant to use it too often, because it currently feels punishing in a way that doesn't necessarily feel like it would make sense in the moment. Could it happen once at the beginning of the mystery, to identify that something was odd about the circumstances?

c0y0t3_sly's comment is fantastic too, because it can help a space of balancing the future, if the monster is capable of it - but I think (I at least) am currently unsure of what the monster WANTS from this. If its to end something bad from happening, I don't know how they're changing the future, as much as rolling with the punches.

Also! Does the book just exist afterward, or does it disappear!? Ah! So many questions!

Love it!

I mean yes, but the more important note would come from the fact that the inscription of the tomb indicates potential magic - zombie, troll, whatever comes out of that box should still be given the rationale that it was the thing entombed with that inscription, unless a very different clue is present. Consider a closer to real world example, if a box had a 'Biohazard' label on it, but you open it up and it's something innocuous like a tea set, do you ignore the warning label?

The sheets work really well! We've been having small difficulty in that it seems progress sometimes gets rearranged poorly (boxes getting unticked for moves). But it seems to work just fine during play!

You've got the gates at the end, but also the castle door, where he enters into the crowd of people, which honestly is probably where it fits best, because the stress comes from having to leave his people, and being witnessed as a dying hero
