In Case You Missed It: We Talked About "LOGAN: An Autobiographical Tabletop Game" For Our February Episode,

In case you missed it: we talked about "LOGAN: An Autobiographical Tabletop Game" for our February episode, and it sure was good podcast!

I don’t think I have the chops for D&D or other tabletop RPGs but I could make a good DM’s assistant. I don’t play the game but I sit and listen and then after the session the DM can ask me for ideas.

"wow my dash is so violent today!!!... Oh wait it's March"

WONDERFUL question @magentagalaxies :]

so picture this. you're in the middle of a 20 year water shortage. a shortage so bad water consumption has to be strictly regulated. by getting rid of private bathrooms, and only allowing people to do their business in public, pay-to-use toilets. if you can't pay, you don't get to go, and if you try to do your business in the bushes or in jars in your home you'll get caught and arrested. breaking the public health act gets you sent to Urinetown. no one knows what Urinetown is, but it's a bad place

our narrator is a cop, Officer Lockstock, who throughout the show talks to the audience and a girl named Little Sally about the show. he gives the show's twist away halfway through act one

our leading man is Bobby Strong, an assistant custodian at the poorest public toilet in town. his boss is a lady named Miss Pennywise. in the opening scene, Bobby's dad's short on cash and can't pay the fee, so Miss Pennywise won't let him in. when Bobby won't help him out he ends up doing his business on the sidewalk and gets exiled to Urinetown

our villain is Caldwell B Cladwell, the guy who runs the public restroom company and put the fees in place. he bribes the lawmakers and cops to do his bidding and let him keep raising the pee fees, promising the people his company is looking for longterm solutions to the water shortage, but it seems all they do with the money is go on vacations

our leading lady is Hope Cladwell, bastard daughter of Mr Cladwell and Miss Pennywise, just returned from the most expensive university in the world to work at her dad's company. character of all time. she meets Bobby, hears of his guilt over his dad, and encourages him to follow his heart and do what he thinks is right

so Bobby starts a revolution at the toilet he works at, letting the poor in town pee for free

shit hits the fan after that! Hope spends most of act two as a hostage. people die. the two cops have a literal honest to god Destiel Superhell moment, where Officer Barrel tells Lockstock he loves him, Lockstock says "I see" and then Barrel immediately gets murdered

it ends with a stinger joke that exactly two people have laughed at throughout this entire run, and I had to look it up to get it

it might be my favorite show that I've worked on

we don't talk about this enough but people from new york (state) literally call it that. we say (state) after it to disambiguate it from the city, out loud. "yeah I'm from New York (state)" <- completely normal way to say you're from new york but not specifically nyc
