Silliness (LIke, this is news?)

[drcpunk]

Last night, I was rereading my own zine in Alarums and Excursions, the gaming apa edited by Lee Gold. It was about 2 am, which may explain why a comment I made to brianrogers sparked a thought in me: "So, in the play by email game I'm running, set in a weird high school in my 17-year-old game world, what Hogwarts houses would the PCs be in?"

So, I posted the results mnemex and I came up with. Two of the players like the idea of a sort of Hogwarts thread of the game, kind of like the Buffy Musical episode. I'm not up for doing this for the Fall semester (which has about a month of game time to go), but if folks really want it, maybe for the Spring semester. mnemex asks if it'll be in or out of continuity.

I suppose I should count myself lucky that they didn't make the same request for the Dragaeran houses, as I posted a few of those.

You're setting yourself up for more of these, you know.

Now we'll have to have a Groundhog Day episode, a Mirror Universe episode (S'Kei with a goatee, how fashionable!), a 'everything was just a dream' mundane episode, a gender swap episode (arguably redundant for some of the characters), and an episode where Billy Siegel was right all along and the characters are DC superheroes.

Bring it on!

Okay, here are the ground rules:

No more than one per school year.

We will not do Those Stories, merely use Those Settings. E.g., the Hogwarts houses, but there is no "X person is Harry, Y person is Hermione, and we're doing Prisoner of Azakaban".

I'm overthinking. No one's going to want to do that much work for the joke.
