Gameshelf casting!
Dec. 7th, 2007 12:33 amI need players! We're having a shoot in the SCAT studio in Union Square on the evening of Tuesday, December 18, starting at 7pm. Edit:Actually, consider this date only tentative. It conflicts with a regular gaming event that occupies a good chunk of my usual talent pool. It was the only grabbable studio night at the time but I'll see if I can't shift it. If the rest of this post is interesting to you, lemme know about your availabilty on or around that night.
We will be shooting some combination of these games, all published by folks in the Boston area (for lo, that is our theme this episode):
• Warp 6, a simple board game about spaceships racing to the end of a track, trying to set up chain reactions that let them leapfrog ahead. Plays with two or three, and I'd like to film a three-player game.
• "Rochambeau Twist", a game based around Rock, Paper, Scissors somehow. It's not even in production yet and I know next to nothing about it, except that its will-be publisher tells me that it's a fast pick-up-and-play game. We'll be playing with a prototype!
• Hill 218, a tactical card game themed around a World War II battle. It's by the designer of Space Station Assault, if you happen to recall our review of that, and it's not entirely dissimilar. Two players.
I have played both Warp 6 and (an early prototype of) Hill 218, and identify both as short, fun games.
Gameshelf veterans as well as new faces are welcome; contact me at jmac@jmac.org or comment here. As always, I am looking for people with good camera presence who are willing to play games on TV (and video podcasts). Feel free to share this message!
