#RPGaDAY2023 Day 11: The weirdest game I've played is one I ran, @magpieofficial's #ThePlaysTheThing. The PCs are Thespians AND the roles they're cast in, in a famous play like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet. All along the game, they'll negociate changes to the play with their Director, the GM, so that they end up with a completely different story. I love #Shakespeare, and I really love this game, which is completely différent from any #ttrpg I've experienced so far. #rpg #jdr

The play & the game.
The players are game changers both as actors and characters.

I've finally managed to get my hands on #ThePlaysTheThing from @magpieofficial right when a part of my professional focus is leaning towards #Shakespeare's plays at the moment.
I've tried to find French-speaking players a couple of times, to no avail. I'll try with English speaking players then. #ttrpg #rpg

Enfin je peux me targuer de posséder la version papier de The Play's The Thing, ce #jdr théâtral aux retournements de situation et aux fins inattendues. Maintenant il ne me reste plus qu'à tenter, à nouveau, de trouver des joueureuses. Je ne m'avoue pas vaincu. Echec en France? Tentons l'anglophonie. #ThePlaysTheThing

J'ai maîtrisé un paquet de parties de #JdR ces derniers temps et je me sens un peu lessivé. Je pense que j'ai besoin de trouver une optique motivante, qui rejoigne mon amour pour la littérature classique, l'histoire et la philosophie. Pour le moment, je vais tabler sur #ThePlaysTheThing mais je ne vais pas me priver pour explorer un peu plus loin.

I've run a lot of #ttrpg sessions lately and I'm kind of starting to feel drained. I think I need a new #rpg-related focus, one that could match my love for classic literature, history and philosophy.
So far, @magpieofficial's #ThePlaysTheThing will be my next GMing project, but I'm really keen on exploring other games.

I love the rehearsal process almost as much as the performances. #stage #theatre #ThePlaysTheThing

A quick holiday plug for The Tabard Theater in downtown San Jose, keeping the flame of local live theater alive. Just saw their heartwarming production of Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales, followed by a fun round of caroling (with audience participation). Last show tonight, but check out their season for more. Also, recommend City Lights Theater Company.
