I know there are science-types who write amongst us; here's a writing opportunity I came across today: [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bay-istas! I have written the first act of a sci-fi drama in the vein of Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. (Seriously, it wasn't intentional at all, but I think all the characters can be mapped superficially to Firefly characters. But there is a big honking Firefly reference, for kicks.) Why only the first act? Because the second act will be improvised. The actors won't know anything about the show until that night, but they'll have costumes and props and a full set (which is going to be awesome). They will cold read the first act, and then we'll all find out together how the play ends.

Come see Gravity, my sort-of playwright debut, at Under the Sun Studios in Concord on November 19! Tickets on sale now!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey gamers, nascent gamers, and general sci-fi-ish type people. Or, you know, just anybody. We just finished up a round of our thrilling version of Battlestar Buffistica over in the Gaming thread. Accusations were flung, lives were lost, and puns were made.

Want in on the fun? The next game is set to begin, so if you're interested in checking it out, stop on by and say so. Just want to watch? I bet you could convince gamemaster extraordinaire billytea to send you game updates along with the players.

You don't have to own the physical game to play, although it helps. bt is great with newbies, so even if you haven't gamed before, this is a great entry. You just need to be able to check in once a day or so.

Come on in, the water's infested with potential robotic overlords!

Lurkers? Do support us in email.

(I know this is cryptic, but Stompies, I swear it's relevant to general 'Ffista interest. Needed to be said in this thread to be seen for sure.)

And is secretly AWESOME.

On behalf of Buffistas, thanks. A lot.

Fixed. Sorry about that - trying to do too many things at once.
