*****

This ran at Conquest 98, in Melbourne. I co-wrote it with a friend called Matty, and it was playtested at LURG (Latrobe Uni Roleplaying Group). It was three hours of the noisiest! freeform ever. We handed out the character sheets, told the players they had two hours til the curtain rose, no scripts and they had to put on an episode of the Muppet Show. Then we stood well back.

With the help of our wonderful troup of NPC's, played by Morgan, Neef, Madi, Thorfy, Aveline and Jo, who played everything from chorus's of chickens, to talking whiskey bottles, to hollywood producers, to random fluffy objects, to the head of swedish intelligence, our players created something wonderful, exciting, muppetational, astounding and above all very chaotic! We the two hours before curtain call was up, we called in people with nothing to do, and had them be an audience. And the PC's put on a Muppet Show.

It was a great game, the players loved it, and if it ever gets run again, I recommend ear plugs :). I'm rather proud of it for a first attmpt at Con designing and my first free form.
