I will become a director. What are we filming? A vivid erotic fantasy in which a group of normal but interesting and emotionally stable people show up, reliably, to a weekly tabletop RPG night.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to get friends to commit. I think a good thing to try would be to get people to commit for, say, 4 sessions over two months. Enough for a small story arc. Then renew after that. Much easier to get buy in (or just schedule four dates right away) rather than commit to a specific day every other week belonging to them potentially forever, especially when some friends may live far away or have varying schedules.

That is a dirty and farfetched fantasy right there.
The public doesn’t know how much they want escapist entertainment about escapism. It’s fresh, it’s meta, it’s a billion dollars in the bank.
Totally unfilmable though. Drat.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
This is not a new concept!
It’s not old hat in Hollywood until it’s been done to death, so no worries there.
Do the actors need to be emotionally stable and have any experience with real tabletop RPG or can I sign up?
We’re looking to cast all method actors.
I do meth all the time, but I usually don’t OD.

Start off with a one-shot. Premade characters, simple mission, no witnesses.
They eventually ask for another, so you run a second one with a cliffhanger ending. They ask for a follow-up. The hooks are in.
If you cast Salma Hayek as my costar, I suppose I’d take the role.
