The Syndicate

I reserve the right to portray Andrew Lloyd Weber as evil in this game.

And I will be right there praying for its survival.

27 years is enough.

Schwartz wrote it and he is a role! I could make a whole game just on the characters from his shows. Hell-- someone could make a Godspell game!
Personally, I'm working on two more games based on musicals (Spring Awakening and Merrily We Roll Along-- both would be speed games). But I could see another for the next cue.

My dad drove me to the next town over when I was too young to drive to see a girl I had a crush on in Godspell. I liked hearing her sing and the overall performance was one of my favorite theatrical experiences growing up.

We were boyfriend / girlfriend some time after that and she broke up with me on my birthday.

That's quite rude...
...But I think it worked out in the end.



Splints, well... considering my... well.. disdain for Sir Weber...

Fanzine?

Fantine*

Autocorrect.

Fanzine DID have TB and not AIDS because AIDS wasn't really a thing in 1832.

Also-- Joseph is a poorly written show that can be such a fun experience/performance. It was really cute. Not my kind of show, but cute.

I'm seeing a production of Joseph tonight!


(And have been seeing a production of Spring Awakening that my best friend is directing)

1. Characters have actual issues, instead of "Oh no, Bobby doesn't like me!" it's "I was fired from my shitty factory job, so now I have to be become a prostitute, sell my hair, teeth, and nails all to support my starving 4 year old who spends all of her time with the two sleaziest motherfuckers in the world. Also, I have AIDS."

2. Pretty much everyone dies. I appreciate a story that goes balls to the wall with it's character deaths. I'm a sadistic person.

I do love Les Miserables, but I think if you looked at more serious musicals, you'd find they aren't all about "Bobby doesn't love me".

Frank Wildhorn has written some very interesting stuff! Mostly junk, tbh. Jekyll and Hyde is decent. Scarlet Pimpernel is... eh. Bonnie and Clyde is one of his better ones, with a very weak second act.

Someone has done Wicked. It was done on The Piano by a user named PenguinJosh. It was fun.

I think another Wicked game would be fun. I won't be hosting it because I don't particularly love Wicked, but yeah.

Have you done a R&H mafia?

I haven't! I was planning an R&H Mafia! It hasn't made anything fruitful, so if you want to plan it, it's all yours! I have lots of theatre-based Mafia games in my head, though.

I'll stick to cinema and leave the musicals to you. But! I did want to tell you I was Ado Annie this one time in Oklahoma!

Ado Annie is actually my favorite character in that musical. I love the music so much, but the plot bores me-- generally-- other than Ado Annie.

There may be singing, I didn't get a chance to really get anything like that going in Into The Woods due to an unbalanced game I created. :$ Too many role checkers! I tried to tone down the civvies, but I didn't realize how many role checks were out there.
