Tech Forum
There is a specialist space to explore and discuss the use of technology in freeform called the Tech Forum. It is to talk about everything from sharing equipment and experience to writing a game using shared cloud storage to actually running a game using smartphone apps or websites and anything else that might come to mind. If you are interested in such things, please join and comment.
Timetable for Casting for Across the Universe:
We request that everyone who has a place in the game and has paid a deposit should
fill in the casting preference form by August 10th 2016.
The current plan is that casting for Across the Universe will take place on the weekend of September 10th / 11th 2016.
We have chosen this weekend as a balance between two imperatives. We want to give time for characters with potentially great costumes to have the maximum time to create something wonderful. We are however aware that some players will drop from the game and be replaced by people from the waitlist. The later we leave casting, the more chance there is that people now on the waitlist, who eventually play, will get a part they want rather than one left vacated by a player who drops after casting.
On September 10th we will also be finalising the question of how many NPC characters we intend to have (if any) and what they will be doing. If you have a preference to be cast as an NPC player, please let us know.
