Marcello's impersonation takes a seductive turn in the latest actual play log of Jedediah's 7th Sea campaign.
I hope we're not heading down a path toward Fifty Shades of Don Gabriel.
And I get the feeling we'll be hearing more about the dangerous M. du Doré.
I appreciated the behind-baseball commentary, but I really like seeing the campaign through Marcello's eyes, at least as much of it as he's willing to share with Isabel.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up - should be fixed now.
DeleteFifty Shades of Don Gabriel - not if I and Marcello can help it. Thank you for that mental image, I'm going to bleach my brain now.

It's a great format for the adventure logs, and Marcello's discomfort comes through. You write very well.
Thank you :)
DeleteValmont is among my favorite characters to play and Hampton's adaptation of de Laclos' epistolary masterwork is delightful.

Need to check out all of Le Bossu, too, now that I know about it.
I wonder if it wouldn't work better as a PbP rather than a face-to-face tabletop game.
Le Roi Danse is another great movie for inspiration.
DeleteDangerous Liaisons is brilliant, I never get tired of watching Glenn Close and John Malkovich rip into each other, all while being very elegant and sophisticated. The Colin Firth movie never had a chance (not the fault of Firth, though, he's great as Valmont - but Annette Benning is no Glenn Close)
