*You see an announcement posted in front of Herb's Clubroom*

"Open for Public.

This Friday is Gentlemen Adventurer's Club's Boardgame Night! We'll be playing Castles and Cockatrices 13.5th edition game mastered by yours truly, the president. Bring a sixth level character that you're not attached too much!

Feel free to take a copy of a character sheet inside and a rulebook copy in case you need to refresh your memory about the rules!"

*Of course you know that Castles and Cockatrices is a popular fantasy pen-and-paper rpg.  The way this game still exists now in the age of virtual reality and giant robot shows how ubiquitous and popular the game is. If you read the rulebook, it's simple enough, with standard fantasy classes and races and all that jazz.*

1. Discuss about his plan?

2.The game night. It's a mingle thread. Feel free to join anytime, comment about the game, introduce your fantasy characters, and talk both uh... in character and out of character.... with your character...

It's not the dice that's dangerous, it's the users.

So you overbeings also have stories. Do you overbeings do make-believe though? Do you even have fictiions?

[over_under_being]

I don't know. Probably not.

I doubt storytelling is something my race encourages participation in.

[hobo_lantern]

Then you should try it! Come on, make up something. Let's try it. Continue my words. Once upon a time...

[over_under_being]

Once upon a time?

[hobo_lantern]

Come on, continue that sentence! What happened or lived once upon a time? Made up something. Is it a family of pig? Was there a kingdom?

[over_under_being]

Hmm. Very well. I can do this, too.

Once upon a time, there... was...

[Texotic looks around, as if searching for something to serve as a source of inspiration.]

A door.

[hobo_lantern]

Oh man, you're killing me. Continue it! Such a cliffhanger! What's up with the door?

[over_under_being]

It is a door... to elsewhere. It takes you somewhere else.

[Pause as Texotic realizes that most doors do that.]

No, to another dimension. Yes - a dimension that is... black and empty.
[She seems to be probing the words carefully before forming full sentences.]

Almost completely empty. Almost.

[hobo_lantern]

...almost?

[over_under_being]

That universe has something in it.

[Quick, describe it! But how...?]

You cannot describe it. You cannot see it, but it is watching you.

Always watching, in the darkness.

[hobo_lantern]

Wow. This is... quite a story.

[over_under_being]

It's based on fact.
