Jedi Praxeum is a role-playing game that I've been writing/playing with other Star Wars nerds around the world since 1999. For those Star Wars devotees still reading, the game is set during Empire Strikes Back and revolves around Master Koman who has somehow survived the Jedi Purge and collected a rag-tag group of Force Users and is trying to train them to fulfill a destiny. I will include various cutscenes which are written to stand alone. If you're interested in looking at some of the 10 years of writing, please check out our website: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/jediprax/ |

[From our comedy blog - What's so funny?! www.whatssofunny.com.au] Danny McGinlay, up-and-coming comedy guy and part-time superhero. Looking up Danny on the internet, phrases such as ‘likeable’, ‘hyperactive’ and ‘over-caffeinated’ come up, but more recent reviews classify him as a storyteller “with the ability to weave a rollicking yarn”. Certainly this is consistent with Danny’s view of his own career. Doing comedy since he was 16, he started out in Class Clowns (a national secondary school comedy competition and workshop, run by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival) and has come a long way from those early days. He quotes Jerry Seinfeld “Audiences will teach you what’s funny about you.”
