The Fiasco Companion Has Arrived!
Bully Pulpit Games
More on Origins
I’ll be at Origins 2011, which is this week! Holy cow!
Come say hey at the Games on Demand area, which is in Delaware-A. I’ll be running whatever you are interested in, provided what you are interested in is How We Came To Live Here, Archipelago II, Microscope, Dungeon World, Fiasco, Montsegur 1244 or Zombie Cinema.
Other than that I have few structured commitments, so if you are up to something unspeakably cool please let me know.
June Playset of the Month – Break a Leg
Our somewhat-delayed Playset of the Month for June is Break a Leg!
The director slept with half the cast, your lighting designer is homicidal and that bastard from the Daily News just panned the show in his column. You’ll be lucky on opening night if the cast remembers their lines, nobody mentions the Scottish Play and the scenery doesn’t fall down mid-performance. But hey, the art is all that’s important, right?
This playset, written by Megan Pederson and John Kelly of the Jankcast crew, is a tribute to the grand traditions and superstitions of the Theatre–from the casting couch to the Great White Way.
