 The fictional show for this business is "Dice This". "Dice This!" takes place in the alternate
1980s were the Satanic Panic never happened and playing tabletop roleplaying games is
considered the nerds' equal to the jocks' playing American Rules Football. The title is also the
name of the in-the-universe show that the characters are making for Nickelodeon.

The show is going to be pretty light-hearted -- no questions asked, no answers given. Besides
taking place in an alternate universe, there aren't other fantastic businesses (i.e. ghosts, genies,
spies & aliens). The TV rating for this business is a Y7-FV as the group plays "Dungeons &

family members of the show host, family members of the show players, friends of the show host,
friends of the shows players, friends of the show writers, newsreporters, tabletop roleplaying
game players, tabletop roleplaying game store owners, tabletop roleplaying game workers, & tabletop roleplaying game players. The common bond for the PCs here is they are the host and
the main players of the show.

The name of this PC is the following: “Michelle Mayflower”

The Concept of M.M. is the following: "Reality Show Host”

M.M's appearance is the following: "16 years old, has long blonde hair dyed neon pink, has one
purple eye and one gray eye, & looks like Valley Girl by the outfits that she picks.”

M.M.'s Personality is the following: "Overfriendly to the point of being annoying & always tries to
kiss the suits' boots -- for lack of better American English words -- when she gets a chance to."

For M.M.'s Speech business, I'm going with the following: "Normal sentences that sound like
someone from Texas." 

For M.M.'s background, I'm going with the following: "Teenage actor hired to host Dice Time.

For M.M.'s Issue, I'm going with the following: “Cowardly”.

For her "Impulse" business is the following: "Running Away"

For M.M.'s Personal Set, I'm going with the following: "Michelle's Private Dressing Room".

For her connection, I'm going with the following: “Alice Lincoln-Washington, a friend of her
mom."

The group decided that the series's seasons are made out of five episodes -- no questions
asked, no answers given. The following list contains how M.M's screen business is done:

● EP #1: 1
