word count on What's the Worst that could Happen? is sitting on 28,370. I am queen of the Procrastination people, didn't write anything new today, just typed up old stuff.
My Tuesday night roleplaying group has decided to give Prime Time Adventures another go, brainstorming a bunch of stuff and eventually all agreeing that we were into Fantasy tied to reality, culture shock and your identity and how it ties into your culture.
Here's the premise of our show: some time ago portals were opened from the real world to a traditional fantasy kingdom, populated with elves, orcs, humans and dwarves. The portals have been open long enough for people to be moving in, there's an Earth embassy and a small community of immigrants. There are call centres set up in the fantasy kingdom because it's cheaper to route it through there....
Elric is playing the seventh son of a seventh son who thinks he's the second son because his older brother killed all the rest...he's battling against his epic destiny.
Svend is playing Isaac, a human diplomat and PR rep for the Earth embassy. He is talkative and bureaucratic.
Star is playing a wood elf/dryad who works in an Earth company call centre and is desperate to 'do it right' and fit in with the humans.
Steve is playing a troll, stereotypically evil, violent and stupid he is a do-gooder trying to make his way in the world.
I am playing Sam, an emo teenager recently moved into the fantasy world and desperate to return home. Soon after arriving Sam was hit by a spell: whenever the weather changes, Sam's gender switches over. The identity uncertainty ties into his/her issue of culture shock and becoming happy in the situation.
anyway, more later. I have quotes and stuff but it's now late at night and I am sleepy!
