WE HAZ GAMEZ!!
Intercon update! Not only are [info]mllelaurel and I, a.k.a. Paranoid and Crotchety, re-running the much-praised Lifeline... (Sign up here!) Buuuut we are also premiere a new game! New at Intercon, new anywhere, and our largest game yet...

THE SOUND OF DRUMS

In the distant, shadowy past of myths and legends, deep in a lonely mountainous forest, where magic still pulses and saber-tooth tigers still roam the land, lives a small, isolated tribe of hunters and warriors, reclusive folk with strange ways and powerful gods. It is a full moon night, when the tribe holds council, and there is a full feast of argument and debate to come. The medicine woman has yet to choose a successor; the chief has taken a questionable lover. And four foreigners, strange outsiders, have taken sanctuary with the tribe, lived among them, and there are many who rankle at the thought.

Time for secrets to be spoken and paths to be decided. Will the outsiders stay past the dawn? Who will lead the tribe and keep its traditions? It is council night, the time of voices and change and strange, little-told tales, and as these passionate people struggle for unity, their hidden wood will ring with the sound of drums...

The Sound of Drums is a character-driven game for eighteen to twenty-four players, full of passion, politics, drumming, and storytelling. Players are encouraged to bring hand drums or other primitive percussion instruments, and/or play if instruments are available, but it is not a requirement for anybody, and no musical ability is necessary to enjoy this game. This game contains pervasive themes of bisexuality and polyamory, and is recommended for mature players. This is a Paranoid and Crotchety production.


Yes, you get to bang on things! No, it has nothing to do with Doctor Who! Think more Elfquest. :D

Website update coming when I don't have to be asleep in ten minutes.

The problem being, if it was in a different slot, it would also be opposite dammit. :P (Taking dammit as a generic term for Other Games One Wishes To Play In Or Run.)

I'm sorry you'll be missing it though. If it goes well, shall re-run at some point. If not, you ain't missing much. ;)

You should come play! Intercon is about a weekend later than usual, so you're not allowed to schedule your birthday over it again. :P

*facepalm* You ladies were born in the wrong month. :P

Brandeis Festival is a month later and free to boot. Though we will not be running this game then. :(

No, Intercon is in the wrong month! We are Just Right.

Although actually, Elayna is interested in a birthday LARP by you guys, so perhaps her party should be moved to the following week?

What are you running at Brandeis?

And when do I get to see you again? And you know I have a reading/concert tomorrow night, right? Because you guys should come to that.

Man, I should rewatch that ep. So good.

Oh, LARPing is easy. It's the near me that's problematic. ;) If you ever do get yourself to Boston, I can show you the ropes. :D

One of these years, I will make it out to Boston, and I will time my trip so I can get in on one of these things.
