I'm working on an academic game aimed at teaching incoming college freshmen creative writing skills. It is based off of Romeo and Juliet because in the US...
It's for science. Count me in... Tybalt: "More than Prince of Cats. Oh he's the courageous Captain of Compliments. He fights as you sing prick-song -- keeps...
Is it worth suggesting that all players produce an argument rewriting the prologue? which is, (of course) "Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair...
While I have no doubt of any people on this list being able to do this - the game is aimed at 18 year old deer caught in the headlights beginning college ...
I wonder what the game would be like if we had Tybalt and Juliet as the only players? A Romeo Tybalt would be a conflict of men and families. A Tybalt Juliet...
I'm in the middle of mixing up a batch of shellac from raw resin. Takes a long time. I'm fairly certain I won't do this again. I am likeing though that it...
Romeo and Juliet that's like an old version of West Side Story, I grew up on the West Side so you should play that game instead. If you could get the rights...
"Romeo and Juliet that's like an old version of West Side Story"
Er ... no. Romeo and Juliet is the original version. West Side Story is based on it.
Mike...
Dylan I hope you will play! I'd love to have this gangsta take on the story. Just ignore Verona. I'm certain it's just the name of some neighborhood. The point...
Mike I hope we can get you to play. Verona must be defended fromm Dylan's gangsta attitude! (I think this would lead to a dynamic game!) Chris ... -- Hamster...
You dissing me, you better be carrying, cause it's my foot yo' ass will be marrying. All the da homies know that the West Side this ain't no veronona no Howard...
So Dylan are you willing to play? I could go for the poetry… Chris Engle ... -- Hamster Press = Engle Matrix Games http://HamsterPress.net So Dylan are you...
We can take it any direction we want. Chris ... -- Hamster Press = Engle Matrix Games http://HamsterPress.net We can take it any direction we want. Chris On...
Okay Paul it looks like it will be just you and me. I suggest we both pick two characters to run independently so it will be like a four player game. We will...
Shall we split it Montague and Capulet? Might even be interesting not to take either of the main characters - assume that they will act as in the same ways as...
That sounds fine. I will take Romeo and Father Lawrence, which means Juliet will be a complete pawn. That could be fun. Chris ... -- Hamster Press = Engle...
This will be a two player game with the following cast of characters. I encourage everyone to jump in with comments. They are also helpful to the game because...
Romeo throws down a coin (1 of 5) and makes an argument. "I am a lust driven imprudent youth. I am fickle and inadvertently cruel. I saw Juliet in the street...
Since we don't have Juliet as an active character I immediately thought of her as a pawn something to be manipulated. This made me think Romeo might be a bad...
Aligns with the play, aligns with Chris's charachterisation of young Romeo Montague. No counterargument (save them coins for later...) That looks REALLY...
Time to play the first coin... The Nurse. "The Capulets have a dark secret, known only to Lord and Lady Capulet and the nurse. Juliet is not the daughter of...
Time for a Tybalt coin. SCENE: Outside The Montague House. TYBALT and retainers approach, chanting obscenities about the Montague Family. A bottle flies...
This sounds crazy and totally fabricated – just like all of Shakespeare's stories! Does it serve this story well? I can't say so I will rule it "okay". ...
Definitely over stating Romeo's intentions "Thanks Benvolio! I'll never get a chance at her now!" but it does develop the plot nicely. Instead of everything...
