Sorry. (Not Sorry!)

northstarfanOne of my friends has been agitating to run The Witcher tabletop rpg for a while now. And since our little circle has all now seen the show and approved, he finally got everyone to agree that would be the game we’d do this time around.
Today was character creation. We wound up meeting earlier than usual, and we had some time before the last of the crew showed up. Conversation turned to the Cats movie bombing at the box office, and a couple of people admitted to curiosity. Which is how we wound up watching the 1998 staging on Amazon.
It went over well, though not without the expected questions, WTFs, and internet searches. (Also? I’d forgotten just how gay Demeter and Bombalurina are for each other in this production, which was a pleasant surprise.) But overall, everyone got a kick out of it and took it not at all seriously.
It also meant once we got our characters all put together, we wound up with a stalwart, elven man-at-arms named Munkustrap, a priestess of Melitele named Cassandra, a mage named Gus, and a slutty, slutty Witcher heavily based on Rum Tum Tugger (but named Edras, which is, I think, the only thing that kept our GM from outright murdering us).
So we’ll basically be doing our Witcher game as a Cats fusion AU. Pity the poor GM.
