The House That Silence Built

I enjoyed that much more than last week's episode. ( Further in. )

I should add this was the first time I'd watched a new episode of new Who with other people, kazama and his charming girlfriend. It was nice having others to laugh with.

So I've decided what I'm going to run at OGC this summer: Marvel Heroes, the board game from Fantasy Flight Games; a BPRD adventure about the terra cotta soldiers of Emperor Qin Shi Huang (probably wrong; I keep having to look the name up to get it right) that uses Cinematic Unisystem; and a GURPS Discworld scenario about Ankh-Morpork's first amateur dramatics society.

The last I'm most concerned about, as Ben_McFarland over on RPGBomb.com was amazingly helpful in creating a plot structure for the BPRD game and a board game runs itself. I'll try to playtest it first, but it will probably be my first time running GURPS, and it'll be as an MIB demo guy, too.

I have an idea of interweaving the show, the Discworldian version of a musical/light opera, the characters are trying put on with the events they're going through -- mostly other people trying to stop them putting on the show for various reasons -- so I'm doing a little research for source material: an Opera Australia performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore. It's not bad, but I keep thinking of the bites Sideshow Bob sang in that episode of The Simpsons.
