Thanks, Hal! I actually came up with the character concept a while ago, before you announced your game, and it was the perfect opportunity to play her.Airbornexo wrote:Well spotted that was a typo cool character idea!
Cheers, Hal
The real Amanda is Louise Dodds, a Scottish jazz singer. I had never heard of her before until I searched for pictures of 1920s female jazz singers, but she's from the present day. When I saw the black and white picture of her, I knew it was perfect. Her website also has audio recordings of her singing.Tabs wrote:Mr. Handy, who is the real Amanda?
I thought that my character would be a journalist, middle-aged and world-weary, who chances on the club where Amanda Somerville is singing. Although he would claim to be a stolid man uninfluenced by glamour, he is in fact charmed by her and is drawn back to the club again and again.
I've created a forum for the game here and made you the Keeper for it, Hal, so you can add your own threads whenever you want. If you want actual subfora within the forum, let
me know, and I'll create those too.
If you want to start the first weekend of July (or even sooner), I have no objections. I just probably won't be able to post after July 2 until at least the night of July 6 (more likely, not until the night of July 7).
