Guy Fawkes, Blade Runner, Gaming

[tcpip]

Remember, remember the 5th of November. Despite the commets of many of the anarchist and seditiously inclined, Guy Fawkes did not have honourable intentions. He did not seek to overthrow the monarchy to establish a classless society; he sought to blow up the Protestant monarchy and aristocracy and replace it with a Catholic monarchy.

My favourite movie of all time, Blade Runner, is showing at the Astor Theatre under the new "Director's Cut". I'm going on Saturday for the 5pm session as are some others; readers of this missive welcome to join us and/or come over to our casa on Saturday afternoon prior to the film.

Last Sunday played a good, albeit combative, session of AD&D from the D-2 module Shrine of Kuo-Toa. Next Sunday start a heavily-modified Legend of the Five Rings game based in a fantasy version of feudal Japan during the Go-Diago. As an additional quirk, most of the PCs will be indigenous (and persecuted) Ainu who will take the form of giant sentient rats.

Canonically, Fawkes entered Parliament with honest intentions – an important distinction.

Many reactionaries enter parliament with honest intentions. Enoch Powell and Guy Fawkes were both honest people in that regard.
