jackUnfortunately due to budget cuts we were unable to film several episodes of Greenenders but because of continuity issues and popular request (*hug* miss_next) had to find some compromise, so are presenting several as concept sketches and plot summaries.
Ep1. Angelfriends at the Rainbow: In which Angel has a birthdayish dinner at the Rainbow, and other new people are met.
Cast: Angel, Jack, Theo, yrieithydd, the_alchemist, emperor, Mark and Naomi, choir people I didn't know before, atreic, Richard.
Epsiode notes: Sorry to Angel and Richard for Mao. It was nice to meet lots of people. It was amusing when we were retiring to emporer's and scooped up Richard going "Hold on, how do all these people I know know each other" because I'd already walked Angel to the station by then, and we'd picked up some other people by walking past a peterhouse choir party.
Ep2. Wallace and Grommit
Cast: Me, and the old friends from Trinity.
Episode notes: A good film. Mainly an excuse to save budget by sticking to one location and showing a canned film as part of an episode.
Ep3. Games evening
Episode notes: An effort at a product tie-in and making introducing a game to create some suspense: Pete finally introduced me to Magic: The Gathering.
I used Pete's simplest and coincidently most powerful deck, his beginner's having been left at home because it was never needed. I'd picked up most of the basic rules before, and put it together ok, I think, though I spent a lot too much time dithering and supplicating strategy advice.
The first game I won despite not having any land from random, the second I thought I was going to lose, getting shredded by interacting artifact golems, but then managed to bootstrap into mana and get half a dozen elves lined up with a couple of artifacts that made each proportionally as powerful as all of them and Pete saw 35 damage coming next turn and said it was over.
