#bardagainsthumanity

Since it’s coming up the summer for the kiddies still in school and college and university and whatnot (and teachers. that’s also a thing.), I thought I’d do something fun for the Tumblr Shakespeare community. I was partly inspired by the huge amounts of fun I’ve had doing @socialshakespeare, meeting all the lovely people and having all the bants that go with it. (If you don’t know what SocShakes is, btw, what is wrong with you? Go find out about it right now.)

So, if you’re unaware, Cards Against Humanity ‘is a party game in which players complete fill-in-the-blank statements using words or phrases typically deemed as offensive, risqué or politically incorrect printed on playing cards.’ There is an online version of said card game called Pretend You're Xyzzy. This is what we will be playing our rounds of CAH on. You can create custom packs for this version of the game, and there are plenty of Shakespeare themed packs that we can customize our games with.

Along with playing CAH, we will talk about Shakespeare, listen to music, drink (IF YOU’RE OVER THE AGE OF 18/21/WHATEVER IT IS IN YOUR COUNTRY) and have a grand old time.

You can sign up for the event here! 

TLDR: Shakespeare themed Cards Against Humanity night. On skype. Sign up on the form. (Here’s the link once more https://goo.gl/forms/BWs6JRzvDkCp5eOS2 )

Once I have an idea of numbers and dates, will finalize the details, so make sure you follow me or follow #bardagainsthumanity to keep up with the details. 

First things first, y’all seem pretty flexible with dates and times, which is good. The most popular timezone seems to be EDT, or most American timezones, but there are a few brits. Time-wise, most people said they could do all of/most of the times. So I propose either Saturday August 5th at 5PM EDT (10PM GMT) or Sunday August 6th at 6PM EDT (11PM GMT). Of course if those times are too early/too late, we could possibly make them earlier and/or later, so don’t be afraid to say ‘hey that sucks change it’.

Everyone is over 16, so we don’t have to worry about keeping it PG. 

Also, a lot of people suggested we watch/read/listen to some Shakespeare, so I am very much down for that if other people want to do that too! If people have suggestions for movies/recordings/plays they’d like to watch/read/listen to, shoot me an ask or a DM!

TLDR: Sat 05/09/17 @ 5PM EDT/10PM GMT or Sun 06/09/17 @ 6PM EDT/11PM GMT. We will play CAH, watch/read/listen to Shakespeare and have a grand old time.
