Missing the point...

I'm a member of an RPG promotion community, half because I'm too lazy to unsubscribe, and half because I still hold some small hope of one day finding a decent RPG on there. I see some pretty strange RPs advertised, but this particular one is just...missing the point on so many levels.

It's a Rent/Crow crossover. Yeah, as in The Crow, the Brandon Lee movie with the dark, gothic, and doomed city and the avenging undead that stalks therein. And Rent, the broadway musical about twenty-something bohemian-wannabes, loving and starving and dying, and learning to live for today.

But that's not all! The ad solemnly informs us that the Rent part 'stays true' to the musical and movie...except that Mark and Roger are banging each other. Oh, and Angel's alive. Oh, and neither Angel or Mimi are feeling particularly ill. But aside from those minor details, it's EXACTLY like the real thing! Yay!

...gah.

EDIT: ...oh. And Roger has died and been brought back as The Crow. Or something. Dear lord.
