First Draft

Last night I stayed up until 8:00am manically putting together The Pit, a Backdrop for Dialect by Thorny Games.

The only thing I love more than gay sex is languages and language play, and Dialect is a game about language "and how it dies." In The Pit, players are a small community of men who have sex with men that frequent an aging bath house soon to undergo dramatic changes. Play involves developing a slang or lingo among this community and seeing how that language effects their situation (and is effected by it).

 As I write this I am preparing to go meet the folks from Thorny Games at their inaugural Language Play convention, at which I think I'll learn a *lot* to improve this piece of writing. After some edits after that experience, I'll make the supplement available!
