The last showing has gone up and it's time to relax, hang out with friends in the cast and talk about what's next.
Cast party is a game that looks at the relationship between pl... (read more)

"In all fiction when a man is faced with alternatives he chooses one at the expense of the others. In the almost unfathomable Ts'ui Pen, he chooses--simultaneously--all of them. He thus creates various futures, various times which start others that will in their turn branch out and bifurcate in other times."

Play Date is a game about children deali... (read more)

The highly psychoactive “Resonance Virus” has swept the globe, leaving no-one uninfected. The bio-engineered disease distorts memory, dissipates ego, and has resulted in…in…you can’t remember. You know this place — this is the Pentagon, where politicos, military, and scientists have all gathered in the final ... (read more)
