A huge thanks to all who showed up in force (ha!) to support our Star Wars themed show, Dungeon Crawl: A New Hope! Aamer the Jedi Academy dropout (Aamer Rahman) was convinced to lead a rag-tag bunch of “heroes” including Fitz Roy, the hispter Twi’lek bounty hunter who provided transport in her one-speed spaceship the SS Animal Collective (Clem Bastow), Benjamin Salivaface, a Gammorean guard with a dream to succeed on Tatooine’s Got Talent (Scott Edgar) and Oscar the Garbage Droid with a terrible secret (Adam McKenzie). On their mission to steal the plans for the “giant shooty death dog thing” they encountered a drunk Imperial officer, a surprisingly easily recruited Wookiee, an oddly familiar scenario involving a garbage compactor and a creature with one eyeball (guest star Simon Barber) and a shocking betrayal!
Thanks also to the local garrison of the 501st Legion, who showed up in uniform to lend an air of authority to proceedings, and to Craig Tonkin and the folk at Primordial Productions, who not only provided a copy of Suburban Knights episodes one and two for us to screen, but also a copy to give away to the best audience suggestion! (Which was, by the way, when I asked for a different “Mos” something as a place on Tattooine, and a couple of wags suggested “Mos Def”!)
We’ll be back on June 1 with another D&D themed adventure, this time featuring Brenna Courtney-Glazebrook, Jimmy James Eaton, Karin Muiznieks and Casey Bennetto! Plus, as we sneakily announced on May the 4th, our July show will celebrate both the release of the last film in another amazing franchise, and the Melbourne Magic Festival: yes, July 6th will be Dungeon Crawl and the Deathly Philosopher Prince’s Goblet of Azkaban. Both shows unmissable, so we’ll see you twice!
