A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Royal Shakespeare Company | 2024

[willstafford]

Donkey Work

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Royal Shakespeare Theatre,  Stratford upon Avon, Thursday 29th February 2024 Among Shakespeare’s works, this romantic comic fantasy ranks as one of his greatest hits, and done well, it’s easy to see why.  It’s also something that in the wrong hands, can be rather twee.  Eleanor Rhode’s new production dispenses with the forest – even the fairies are reduced to tiny orbs…

Top Final Sentences of 2023

He knew that on the day of his death he would see her face and he could hope to carry that beauty into the darkness with him, the last pagan on earth, singing softly upon his pallet in an unknown tongue. Cormac McCarthy, from The Passenger

And there are so many silences to be broken. Audre Lorde, from “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action”

For Guinevere Tallow, it felt like coming home. Ethan M. Aldridge, from Deephaven

And we laughed and held each other and filled our hearts with the faith that we could always do that, always blow away the clouds that threatened our stars. Andrew Neiderman as V.C. Andrews, from Honey

But as anyone who loves reading and writing quickly learns, both activities allow you to commune with the living and the dead, to listen to the thoughts of those who have come before you and argue, cajole, and sing praise for them in response. Kaitlyn Greenidge, from “Books for a Black Girl’s Soul”

The greatest shame would be to reach the end of our lives and have the epitaph read, ‘They worked really hard.’ Roxane Gay, from “Yes, Your Job Is Important. But It’s Not All Important.”

The sky is gory with stars, like the insides of a gutted night. Julia Armfield, from “Salt Slow”

Sometimes, even in towns built on curses, at least once in a blue moon, things turn out okay. Ryan Douglass, from “Knickknack”

Eventually, if we speak the truth to each other, it will become unavoidable to ourselves. Audre Lorde, from “Eye to Eye: Black Women, Hatred, and Anger”

In the distance, the darkness has started to lift like a veil, the first light of dawn spilling over the Beijing skyline, a promise of all the beautiful and terrible and sun-soaked days to come. Ann Liang, from If You Could See the Sun

I'm looking for an RPG where you make a setting collaboratively as a group, ideally with a roleplaying element. I know of Dawn of Worlds, A Quiet Year and Microscope but I'm trying to cast a wider net?

Can you help me out?

THEME: Worldbuilding & Roleplaying

Hello friend! I’m first going to direct you to two other posts I’ve made in the past, one about Town Builders, and one about Map-Making! Not all of them focus as much on roleplay, but I love a number of those games dearly. That being said, there are plenty more world building games out there that I’d love to talk about, and these three certainly allow for a lot of roleplay!

Ech0, by Role Over Play Dead.

Peace. Kids playing in mech wreckage. A ghost. 

One last journey across an ancient battleground to find a pilot's final resting place.

Ech0 is a game about three children and the ghost of a dead mech pilot, travelling through ruins of old battles, looking for the place where the pilot died. The group of you will craft a world shaped by the wreckage of wars past, with mech bodies embedded into a landscape, transformed into memorials, and (possibly) repurposed into something else. You’ll use these landmarks to illustrate a map and craft a history: do the children know what the war was about? Or has it been lost to history? 

I think this is an excellent game for the beginning of a campaign, mech or otherwise. If it’s a mech campaign, it might be set in the far future, after the war that you’ve already fought, or it might be the introduction of a planet that’s enjoyed a few decades of peace before getting launched into yet another conflict. Perhaps the mechs embedded in the soil will be unearthed to fight again and those children you created for Ech0 grow into ambitious and desperate pilots. It’s up to you!

Orichalcum, by Justin Quirit.

To find our way home, we must sift through the ruins and our memories of the Empire. But in our remembering, we must not forget what we have created for ourselves.

Orichalcum is a tabletop roleplaying map game for 1-5 players. Players will lay out a map of the Empire that oppressed their ancestors and drowned in a deluge of its own making. By remembering what was left behind, they will draw a connection from the past to the present. Their people, the Exiles, have evolved past the Empire's ways, and these differences will become features on each player's map of their island home. Orichalcum is a game about drowning empires and imagining utopias.

In this game, players will use printed “tiles” to help determine the kinds of peoples they represent, and the ways they differ from the Empire that has fallen. Each player will draw five tiles and place three; after each player places three tiles, your characters will go home. 

This is a beautiful game to describe a world after a ravenous Empire has finally met its end. I can see this acting as an epilogue after a campaign has watched the world end, or as an introduction to a world post-apocalypse, as different groups rise from the ruins. The pillars give the group inspiration and focus, and by the end of the game, you’ll have a number of different islands, each with unique cultures and peoples, to draw from for rich character backstories.

Lighthouse Keepers, by Chloe Sobel.

The sea was once a city. The sea is still a city: trenches stretch into the deep, dark and teeming with life, mirroring city-nights above.

In the world above the sea, there is a lighthouse. The lighthouse has always been there.

Lighthouse Keepers is a map-drawing game for 1-4 people about a lighthouse and the things that lurk outside it in the deep. You play a collective of lighthouse keepers living in an offshore lighthouse, a tower that stretches from its lantern high above the waves all the way down to the bottom of the sea in the hadal zone.

The game design is based on Avery Alder’s The Quiet Year and Carter Richmond’s Anomaly. Its themes are inspired primarily by Julia Armfield’s Our Wives Under The Sea and, by happy coincidence, it bears several thematic similarities to Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse.

This game has two versions; one with art and one without, in case players feel uncomfortable with some of the sea creatures depicted. This is a horror game - there is something in the water; nobody knows what it is, but everybody fears it. If you want to create a world where a lurking horror grows ever closer, this is absolutely the game for you.

Other games I’ve recommended in the past

[foxfren]

"ask me about books" okay let's do this cause I'm curious and also bored (cause everybody is ignoring me irl *sad lol*) (also my apologies for any mistakes in English, not my first language and I'm too tired to check if everything is correct)

-Fav book?

-Worst book?

-Is there any book you have read, at any point in your life, that you're embarrassed about reading?

-Do you remember if you liked any book while you were a kid? Did you have a favorite one?

-Is there any trope/s you wish you could delete forever from existence?

-Do you read books in another language?

-Fav duology, trilogy, series, saga?

-What's your fav genre of books?

-Have you read a book so good you will die on the hill that everybody should read it and there should be a movie?

-Is there anything specific that a book has to have to make it your fav (like a city, a scene, a line)?

-Did you ever have a dream or nightmare that you wish you could write it down and make it a book?

-Do you read fanfics? If so what's your fav and your least fav?

I think those are all I could think of rn. Have a good day and night 💖💖

Hiya! Sorry for the late response, I’ve found myself incredibly busy these past few days (all is well though. Thank you for the ask!! :D

1. Favorite books:

Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by K. J. Charles

The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer

Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim

2. Least favorite books:

Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh

Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

3. The only book I’ve been hesitant to talk about with friends is Lapvona, as it was senselessly horrific (which is also the reason I despise Lapvona). The only other time I see myself being embarrassed about books, is when I haven’t read the books everyone else seems to (e.g. I’ve never read the Hunger Games or Percy Jackson series, and am only starting to catch up now).

4. Growing up I really liked:

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Last Dogs series by Christopher Holt

The Pigeon series by Mo Willems

The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfisher

5. Book tropes (derogatory)*:

Miscommunication (when done only for drama)

Surprise pregnancy

Tall, dark, mysterious/murderous love interest that hates (secretly loves) the mc

Bullies to lovers

*I don’t wish for them to be 100% deleted, but I will personally be avoiding these like the plague

6. I typically read books in English, but I have a few I own in Brazilian Portuguese. I’ve read short stories in French, but not any recently. I’m currently learning Spanish and German, so I have a few books I want to read to practice :)

7. Really good series I haven’t finished yet:

Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan

All of Us Villains duology by Amanda Foody & C. L. Herman

Villains series by V. E. Schwab

Guides for Dating Vampires series by D. N. Bryn

Renegades series by Marissa Meyer

All for the Game series by Nora Sakavic (I’ve read the trilogy but she’s coming out with a fourth book in the same universe, so I’m including this here)

8. Favorite genres:

Fantasy or sci-fi (with lots of subplots) when I have the time to emotionally invest myself in the book

Romance if I need a palate cleanse

Contemporary (audiobooks specifically) if I want to passively listen while I work

Speculative fiction (but like, there’s a specific one I don’t know the name to. When the story is written like it’s an academic paper but it’s about something fantastical like dragons or events that never took place). Speculative fiction in general also though, when I’m feeling like having a little treat :3

9. I’m very particular on book to screen adaptations, so maybe I’ll post about it later. Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield, and the Villains series by V. E. Scwab are books I’ll forever recommend to everyone though!!

10. What makes a book my favorite:

If a character questions their morality or the ethics of a system they believe in

The character finds out they’re not human (they’re a clone or robot, etc), and struggle with understanding their sentience

Angst. Heavy emotional angst. I want to see them cry and scream. However, there needs to be other instances before (and maybe after) in which they are incredibly happy and smiling and satisfied with their life. Contrast is such a powerful tool and I absolutely loooove seeing it used to its full potential

Repeating motifs. Not overly repeating, and every time it does repeat (even if only once), there needs to be significance

Drama. At the end of the day, I am a gossip girl at heart. If shit goes down in a book, I am telling all of my friends after immediately rereading it

11. I am a writer, I just haven’t published (yet?)!! I write down my dreams/nightmares bc I like journalling, but I’ve only had two I want to actually develop further. One was about a submarine, and the other was about a blue haired wizard :)

12. I read fanfic yeah!! They’re super fun, I appreciate fanfic writers so much omg!! I don’t have a specific least favorite, as I tend to dnf quickly if it’s not my cup of tea. I usually stick to DC fics; I particularly like Banshee In A Well by liverobinreaction (bugbee). If you plan on reading, pls check the tags as it involves heavy subjects!!

Thanks again for the ask, this was very fun!! :D
