I figured the strange thread title would make people click. If you're here, you probably want an explanation. The title is a metaphor for my Dungeon Mastering duties, and my group. It's based off the expression "trying to herd cats". My players wouldn't be offended; they'd probably laugh.
Anyway, this is a thread where I journal our various adventures; I won't make a separate thread for each one since they're generally short lived/expirements.
My players:
Q- generally the leader, she's a total spaz, and the resident manga artist.
Domo- the resident Beatles and manga expert and also a manga artist, she balances out Q's super-nova positive energy.
Karlos/Karls/Karlie- video game expert, she knows lots of trivia about Germany.
Now that there's some background, not that you're necessarily interested, I'll create a post about our current "adventure".

Personifications Find Themselves Without What They Personify:
PCs:
Q- Wang Yao
Domo- Francis Bonnefoy
Karlie- Ludwig
In an effort to interest in players in semi-serious roleplaying and the survival of their characters, I suggested a campaign where they played characters from our favorite anime/manga. They were very excited about the opportunity.
The series is called Axis Powers Hetalia; the main characters are personifications, and it's a light comedy poking fun at world history and stereotypes. It can be very offensive if you take it too seriously. On the pros side of things, it's generally accurate in an ironic way and fairly educational. None of my friends or I are racist.
We had just enough time to start the game:
~I explained the scenario: it was the day before a world meeting. England had been practicing spells in his basement, and one of them went wrong, catapulting everyone into another dimension. France, China, Germany, and Austria* find themselves in an old, abandoned dungeon.
*Due to lack of players, I often make a PC for myself.
~Their turn. Serious roleplaying? France and China decide to fight for no apparent reason (other than that France creeped China out a few episodes ago).
That's all we had time for. Better luck next time, maybe.
