Some quick notes on this weekend’s Gauntlet Hangouts games…
For Saturday Morning Cartoons, we played our first session of Marshall Miller’s The Warren. I was pretty happy with how it went. I tried to follow Marshall’s advice of incorporating details from all five senses into my descriptions of things, and I think it created the desired effect. The players did a really terrific job of infusing their bunnies with distinct personalities, and I think that’s what ultimately made the session for me. I just really enjoyed those rabbits, with all their hangups and flaws.
Daniel Lewis was out this week for Story Game Sunday, so I did the lazy shit I always do whenever that’s the case, and facilitated Fiasco. We did Joshua Fox’s House of Ill-Repute playset, which is about the seedier side of British politics. It took us a minute to get into the swing of things, but once we got going, we told a wickedly good story in the vein of House of Cards. Honestly, it made me want to learn more about UK politics so I can play again, but a little more ably. As it was, we were hand-waving a lot of the particulars. Still, it was good stuff.
Thanks to all the players for joining in: Yoshi Creelman Paul Edson Rob Deobald Richard Rogers steven watkins David LaFreniere and Philipp Neitzel.

*chuckle I wish I could have watched a bunch of Americans trying to make sense of the British political system with some authentic accents ta boot, I’m sure…

I at least had a european perspectice. 😉 But my accent could hardly be called british. Being from Germany and all.

I didn’t attempt a British accent. I only do an accent if the other characters would hear it in real life. So, playing an educated Brit in a group of educated Brits? No accent. Playing a Brit in a group of Americans? Accent.
