Rowan Tree and Red Thread

Sam and I watched "I Heart Huckabees" last night. We came away highly entertained and bemused. It's rather hard to explain the film, as it's a surreal exercise in existential angst, the interconnectedness of things and "cruelty, manipulation, meaninglessness". Suffice to say we laughed and boggled as we watched.

During the credits I pitched an idea for a "I Heart Huckabees" role-playing game. I had this image:

Group of players, round a table. Character sheets are scattered about, some blank, some covered in closely written, cribbed handwriting.

Player One: What's the project for today?

Player Two: We're looking at the links between the petrochem business, big pharma and the works of Albert Camus.

Player One: Oh, yeah. We'll start at the local ice hockey rink then?

Player Two: Damn straight!
