I was killed in one of my offsite games and the game i'm modding is running... smoothly, I guess? Also, I'll have most of my midterms done by Friday, so I can play so long as the game starts after Friday.
If we get enough players, push me down to replacement too. Not only is school in high gear, but I'm also playing 2 games and running 1 offsite, so I'm pretty busy. If need be I can make time to play though
You don't have to know the theme to play. It can help a little bit, but in the end it's just to spice up the game and make it a little more memorable.
Although if you like high school slice-of-life anime I do suggest it. The few episodes I've seen are pretty good
It's the same game; it's just we're given character names as well as roles. Like we had a Smash Bros game a few months back where Pit was the Doctor, Mega Man was a Jack of All Trades, and Link was a vigilante, among other roles.
It's a game that has roles connected to certain characters from the show.
