Prime Time Adventures .... adventures on the big screen

I started this game a couple of sessions ago at Page. Prime Time adventures is about roleplaying a Tv Series. Or to be more correct Role Playing the story telling of the tv series. The plot and the tone is a thing that everyone agrees upon. The setting is agreed upon. Charaters are a story background and concept.

Our first session was just set up. We wanted to get where or when we're playing down. We ended up with a western. How we got there I don't know but we have a western. We are spies in the wild west before the Civil war. I really don't know how we got here I wanted to be a fighter polit and now I'm a gun slinger.

With the setting down and the tone. Gritty with tones of comedy. We all know this plays out with one liners and some jokes. We're in the west and we're on tv. Even Knight Rider has it's comedy bits. Right?? Well you know.

Charaters where created with a back story and a contact and 2 hooks and a concept. I'm a black buffolo Soilder, dreadlocked rosta cigar smoking infamous gun slinger. I'm determined to cause trouble at every turn. Hell the A-Team had Mr T. These guys got me. Walking into town duster blowing and cigar smoking, 100% bobby badass. I'm tihnking we may be having Mr Worf syndrome soon. You know to show the bad guy is tough, he gets his ass handed to him and then comes back later in the story.

We play our first episode. And I already don't know how to play well with others. We get off the train and what do I do first? I'm black so I maybe noticed. I ask if I'm expected to sit in the back? Or if we'd ride like a group and just get me the same seating as everyone else. Y2k+ America this is all taboo stuff. We're not even looking at the issues that would arise at that time. Free man or not I'm in a place where ppl that look like me are property.

Yea well we don't lose that one so I go to the hotel. Guess who wants a room. Someone clue up the blazing saddles and say the N Word. Because that again is something not said in the Y2k+. One amazing save by one of the other Charaters. I'm going to have to during my episode push this to the limit.
