Primetime Adventures Pitch Session complete

It wasn’t as easy as it sounded on the Sons of Kryos recording of a PTA session for Life on Mars, but we completed a pitch session for our upcoming PTA game.

We began with an idea for a space opera setting, but previousy, Norwood had made a statement about wanting to play something not based on combat (not necessarily non-violent).  I also wanted to push our limits a little, so I shot the idea down.  It was a weird feeling, just saying no.  I’m often big on saying “yes” or “yes, but” and trying to rework my ideas to facilitate the desires of players.  But on space opera, I just said no, let’s try something else.

The end result is pretty interesting and definitely a stretch for us.  The show is a next food network star-type show where the PCs are the leading competitors.  I plan on starting a few episodes into the season to give a feeling of action, plus I love in media res.

I hope this game cooks half as good as the SW PTA game from GenCon ‘07.  I hope I’m half as exciting as Judd as a Producer (aka GM) for PTA.

Beta done, now what?

The Canon Pucnture crew finished the S7S beta and turned in our feedback.  We had some scheduling problems (due to Rich – me) and ended up switching game nights, but we had fun in our three game sessions.  Much love to Josh Hoade for his guest playing.  He is a great guy.

Next we will tackle another game.  Primetime Adventures (PTA) is on the schedule.
