Sunday
I got to the con in time for lunch, with a wander around to see what games had some room for players. (This con seems to have the notion that people should pick what they want to play before the convention starts - how can I do that, when no-one knows what they're doing, or when, anyway?)
Heh... the funniest game for the con (a freeform) was the one that Nick and I ended up joining. We were suggested to join that by a number of people, because it was fantastic! This is the sort of game where even the spectators have lots of fun (and can even get into the game itself!)
Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry! by Andrew MacLennan.
A Jerry Springer freeform!!
Tonight on Jerry Springer, a special triple header:
"That's Not Who I Married!" - Surprising Relationships.
"Take Me To Your Leader!" - Abductees Speak Out.
"You Did What?!?" - When Things Go Horribly Wrong.
Man, I can't believe that I was picked to be one of the guests in the first 'show'! I was more than happy to sit and watch for a while, but no! I was a guest first off!
Heh, my character was a southern girl who (after being happily married for a year... apart from the occasional wife beating, as she'd been brought up to believe normal... and so in love with her husband) found out that her husband was still, actually, married to someone else!
*gasp*
I don't know how good my accent was (man, in front of an audience, no less! I hate public speaking), but we all had fun!
Heh, I got into an onstage "fight" with the old wife's wife (she went off and married a girl, you see... and the girl only recently had found out that her 'husband' was a woman!) and had lots of yelling and fighting... so fun!
It's one of those 'you had to be there' moments... but it's a very well spent three hours!
Hopefully snippets of the video they took (yes, they taped the whole three hours!) will go up on the website, like they said.
This was just the most fun game of the con, it really was!
From that, I went to another freeform, this one more serious. I rather like freeforms, I've got to say...
