Call for players - second run of Oz!

[breakinglight11]

This is an open invitation to fill the two remaining slots in the upcoming run of Oz!

In honor of Jared visiting this July, I am going to be running my larp Oz, and at the moment I have only thirteen out of fifteen confirmed players. It will be at 2PM on Saturday, July 18th, in Waltham with a dead dog at 6PM at a restaurant to be determined. If you respond I'll send you a casting questionnaire, which would be great if I could get back as soon as possible.

The blurb:

In this science fiction reinterpretation of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, players take on the roles of the soldiers, diplomats, and scientists from various planets in the Oz system, inspired by the events and figures in the L. Frank Baum novels. Since the Yellow Brick Roads were established as paths for ships to follow through hyperspace, travel and commerce throughout the various planets in the Oz System has never been easier or more efficient. The passages between hyperspace and real space may have been unstable, but with the construction of the the Emerald Station people believed that things were headed for a new era of advancement and prosperity. The rise of a system-wide war and the complications that resulted, however, means that Oz must sort out its society's various troubles. Players must deal with the aftermath of the interplanetary conflict as well as their own personal entanglements against the backdrop of scientific phenomenon they are striving to understand.

At this point, it will be first-come, first-serve. I would love to get this game cast and sheets sent out by the weekend, so please, get back to me as soon as possible!

Oh argh! If I wasn't already committed to flyering at a roller derby on that day I'd jump at the chance. :(

*raises hand* Dead dog doesn't mean a literal dead dog, does it?

Heehee, no, it means the dinner afterward where you discuss the larp. It should probably be named "dead horse," as I believe the term comes from the idea of, since you're talking over what already happened, you're "beating a dead horse," but a dead dog beats as well as a dead horse, I suppose. :-)
