The Hackney Horror: A Weird Sherlock Holmes Adventure by William Meikle
“Meikle gives equal weight to the universes of Doyle and Lovecraft, creating a mystery that does not defy human reason but does challenge human exceptionalism.”

Yesterday evening I went up to Baltimore to see the Fells Point Theatre Company's (https://www.fpct.org/) production of MISS HOLMES RETURNS, by Christopher Walsh. This is a sequel to a gender-flipped Sherlock Holmes play they presented 2 years ago; this time Miss Holmes and Dr Dorothy Watson. I really enjoyed this production; highlights for me were:
* Gender-flipping Holmes isn't a new idea, but the playwright does some fun things with it, such as introducing romantic tension between Holmes and Moriarty, and even Holmes and Lestrade. Walsh is also not afraid to break the status quo, removing one character very unexpectedly, and indulges in some Sherlockian nerdery (like Moriarty explaining how both he and his brother are called James).
* Andy Belt's performance as Mycroft Holmes. The character is very dislikable; in the first play he has Holmes committed to an asylum and he still uses that threat to keep Sherlock under his thumb. Belt's portrayal of that is deliciously snide.
* Lance Bankerd's performance as Adam Worthington, which reminded me very strongly of Colin Baker's Doctor, especially in Act One. Baker's Doctor is my favorite of the classic era, so that was delightful.
This is the last weekend of performances, so catch it if you can!

So of course I made one for D&D Bsaic Set, ed. J. Eric Holmes (1977). Rolled a kick-ass INT & then useless high WIS. OH WAIT, in actual use I DO NOT ALLOW, but RAW, I can move stat points. Thought about bumping that mid STR to 12, but also RAW is the stupid Greyhawk INT chart. So 18 INT it is! He now knows all 14 1st-Level spells. Though in practice, probably mostly Sleep.
Behold a fully functional Elf.
