Hotel Information
The game takes place September 19-21 at the Day’s Hotel, Timonium. Call 1-(800)-235-3297 for reservations; mention Lullaby of Broadway for the good rates. Keep in mind that if we get 30 room nights, 1 person from each room gets a $5 service credit. If we get 40 room nights, everybody gets the $5 service credit (these do not stack). Our room block is freed THURSDAY the 22nd, so make your reservations NOW!

Due to some last minute drops, we need players for the following characters:
Tommy Djilas [The Music Man] – teenager preferred.

Patsy Barton [Babes in Arms].
We will have one final logistics e-mail in early September. Thanks for playing!

Bit Parts, Dead Dog, and Hotel Information
Bit Parts
I wanted to give you all the opportunity to earn service credits just by watching your show on DVD and taking notes.
We will need a number of Bit Parts for the game. A Bit Part is a character that can be picked up and played for a scene where the player wants to attend, but his or her character would not be there for some reason. Bit Parts have a brief description and no real plot.
I would like people to write up Bit Parts for their shows. Please refer to the document “Writing Bit Parts” for instructions how. Players who write Bit Parts will get 1 Service Credit per Bit Part created.
Bit Parts are like scenery. They add a lot to the game but are entirely player generated. If players don’t write the Bit Parts, there won’t be any available. Players who write Bit Parts will get 1 Service Credit per Bit Part created. You can just bring your printed Bit Parts to the game and get your Service Credits there, or e-mail them to Mike Young before September to get pre-game Service Credits.
Note that you will get your service credits for your Bit Parts even if someone else writes the same ones. We’ll just try to remove duplicates as they are brought to game. Of course, the Lullaby of Broadway Chat list is a perfect place to negotiate writing Bit Parts to avoid duplication of effort in the first place.
Hotel Information
The game takes place September 19-21 at the Day’s Hotel, Timonium. Call 1-(800)-235-3297 for reservations; mention Lullaby of Broadway for the good rates. Keep in mind that if we get 30 room nights, 1 person from each room gets a $5 service credit. If we get 40 room nights, everybody gets the $5 service credit (these do not stack).
Dead Dog
I’m looking for someone willing to coordinate the Dead Dog. This involves:
- Locating a restaurant that will take 40-60 people.
- Coordinating attendees
- Printing out and providing directions to the dead dog at the game.
The dead dog will be 4:00 or so at a nearby restaurant. You have to be willing to call restaurants in the Timonium area. You do not have to be local. Coordinating the dead dog is worth 15 Service Credits. Reply to this email if you are interested. Thanks!

Dream Casting is the January 2008 update to the Interactivities Ink website and is a fun activity you can participate in even if you have no plans to play in Lullaby of Broadway.
What is Dream Casting?
Have you ever seen a movie or play or tv show and started casting it with your friends? I know that [my friend] would make the perfect [iconic character of the show].
Well, Dream Casting allows you to do that with the shows for Lullaby of Broadway! It lets you vote for your dream cast of a show and then it will tabulate the votes to see who the people’s choices are.
Right now you can only see the results on the Dream Casting page, but next month we will also display the results on the public shows page for all to see.
How Do I Dream Cast?
Click here OR...
Log in at http://www.intink.com/larps/broadway
Navigate to the Player Menu (tab)
Select the dark red Dream Cast link on the left menu (it’s the first link).
From there you just click on your show and select your cast from the drop down list of players. You can change your vote any time you want.
The Small Print
In order to Dream Cast, both you and your target cast members must be members of the Lullaby of Broadway database. You may create an account in the database even if you have no plans of playing the game. Yes, you may vote for yourself. Note: Dream Cast is just a fun exercise and is not a guarantee of casting for the game itself.
Michael Young -- January 01, 2008
The game is progressing nicely. Though a lot of hard work and some help (Thanks Del and Dean), we have gotten all the core shows up on the web site. This means that if you go here you can see exactly which shows we are most likely using, get a summary of those shows, and see the characters we will be taking from those shows.
However, we are still in the final stages of merging, adding shows, and removing them. We still have shows in the queue to review and it is possible that some shows will be voted off the list (I’ve already removed Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for example).
And here is the important part: you can vote too, even if you don’t plan to play. Really, although if you don’t plan to play, I’d prefer that you vote in good faith. To vote, select the red Vote for Shows link under the Player Menu tab.
We may even add some new shows, although that will be tougher. What I’m looking for now are shows that would merge well and add plot to existing characters rather than shows that would add new characters. One or two new characters might be ok, but I think we’ve hit about the right number for the game. If you have any suggestions drop me a line, but please understand that I might not have time to see a lot more shows this month.
That brings me to the next thing that will be happening in January: the Great Merge. I expect that we will have between 40 and 65 players when all is said and done. Right now, we have 21 people signed up, and I forsee no difficulties at least hitting minimum. Nonetheless, I will start really pushing for people to register now that we’re in the new year. If you plan to play, please register soon, because casting will be in a few short months. If you have no plans to play, please *tell me*. Saying “maybe,” will just get you caught in the next advertising push. Saying “no” means I’ll leave you alone. Saying, “maybe, but please give me some time to make up my mind,” will mean I leave you alone until the middle of April when we cast and it’s important that you’ve signed up by then.
Also remember, if you have friends who may be interested, you can get $5.00 off the price of the game if they say they referred you. With careful work and planning you can play the whole game for only $25, easily well worth it.
Anyway, back to the Great Merge. Right now we have 70 primary characters in the database and 31 secondary characters. The plan is to merge these characters together until we have 60-70 characters total. This isn’t as large as a merge as it might seem. Nonetheless, when we are done will we have the backbone over which plots may be written. By the way, in case you didn’t know, I’m writing Lullaby of Broadway in a fishbowl and players are welcome to contribute content. Already we have gotten content from a few players which has led to a whole slew of new plots.
However, at the end of January, we will have stabilized the list of shows and the characters and plotting will begin in earnest, so vote early and vote often.
Finally, we will have another important announcement in January about a fun thing that players and non-players of the game alike can share: dream casting. More about that toward the end of the month though. Hope you had a happy New Year!
