The Cask Of Amontillado - Tumblr Posts

sorry everyone we won’t be seeing any men today they’ve all been bricked into their enclosure

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

grounding techniques, ok 5 things i can see. I see bricks, I see mortar, I see a trowel, I see a cask of wine, I see that asshole Montresor glaring at me over the top of the wall…

the narrator in the cask of amontillado is literally me because I take things wayyy too seriously

We're doin it live

Dragonmeet tickets cover the show, no extra booking required

My decisions about which public domain material to pull from when planning this show are heavily influenced by being on tumblr too much, btw. No one can stop me putting Jon and Mina Harker in there for the players to make Links with. I can dangle the temptation of heisting the Cask of Amontillado in front of the players if I want

See us live at Dragonmeet

Going to Dragonmeet, London's roleplaying game convention, on Sat 2 December?

Your ticket also covers the first Merely Roleplayers live show since Lights Out in 2021!

Fan Fic Mish Mash

Heroes you know, in a story you don't.

10:30am-12:00, Pouilly Room, Mezzanine – as part of the Podcast Zone

This show will Merely Roleplayers' first venture into Interstitial: Our Hearts Intertwined by Riley Hopkins, which is inspired by crossover/alternate universe fan fiction, Kingdom Hearts, and making your Star Wars action figures and your My Little Ponies go on adventures together when you were little. (We've played Interstitial before, just not for an audience)

In Interstitial, the idea is you play your blorbos and scrunklies from existing shows and books and stuff, liberating them from corporations fanfic-style to make your own, better stories with them. I pitched a total free-for-all but that got shut down on the basis it might "get the convention into trouble" and "risk invoking the awful wrath of Disney's legal team", so this is gonna be all public-domain Interstitial.

Watch this space – over the next couple of weeks we'll announce our main cast and which characters from literature and legend they'll be playing!

Can you help spread the word?

Even if you're not coming to Dragonmeet this year, can I get you to fast-reblog this really quick?

I know from previous Dragonmeets that the Pouilly Room doesn't get passing traffic. Plus we're on at 10:30am, when people are just arriving and getting their bearings. And there's no guarantee the Podcast Zone live shows will be listed in the printed programme.

I want to make sure that no one who might enjoy this show ends up missing it just because they didn't know it was happening. So please reblog! And we've got posts on Insta to share around too!

Y’know, The Cask of Amontillado is basically just a grimdark version of that cartoon trope with the box propped up by a stick

So I binged nevermore last night and I am thoroughly obsessed with prospero and duke right now. Being aromantic and reading webtoons with romance heavy plots is so funny cause the main two characters are like the least important people in the world to me I want to know more about everyone else I literally cannot wait to see how terrible prospero and montresor being forced to be roommates is gonna be I wanna see more of dukes spectre I wanna see how prospero died ect. ect. I love them SO MUCH
