y'all. do you even know what you're missing if you don't watch play it by ear on dropout tv. they've got it all. nerds improvising musical theatre in a 30-40 minute format?? about everything and anything you could imagine??? polyamorous 90's teenagers spending a night at the mall. fun facts about platypuses. a noir detective that has an invisible vape. insanely horny ren faire shenanigans. a gay song about unicycles that will make you forget it's all improvised because it's just so fucking good. gay bear wedding. I could go on but I don't have to, because you can just go to dropout tv right now and check it out for yourself

I bummed myself out thinking about how PiBE season 2 was never going to get playbills so I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world...... then i realized graphic design is hard. Anyway, have some thumbnails of what could have been!

#play it by ear #pibe #dropout #zach reino #jess mckenna #my art #fanart #kinda? #anyway some of these are way stronger than others lol #if you have any thoughts or ideas about improving any of them please let me know lol #also wow tumblr just garbles that quality so bad rip #season 2 #playbill #playbills

The dropout Community is crying out for "Oops! All-Bards", especially the ones who watch both D20 and Play It By Ear (which is a lot of us). For context, the idea is the party is (unsurprisingly) all bards or musical characters, the DM would probably be Brennan, or our good fella Ross Bryant. We have tons of options for a cast, including...

Zach Reino (We know he plays D&D, has appeared on Hello From the Magic Tavern)

Jess McKenna (She'd be a total newbie, which would be so fun to see, unless she's learned to play since Dungeons and Dating on Offbook, has appeared on Hello From the Magic Tavern. EDIT: Jess has learned to play dnd, how fun)

Ross Bryant (Long time player, DM, has appeared on Hello From the Magic Tavern)

Rashawn Nadine Scott (currently the lovely Viola on Burrow's end, is in a DND podcast which I unfortunately cannot remember the name of)

Jiavani (unaware of her D&D experience, a Play It By Ear regular, insanely funny inproviser)

Zeke Nicholson (unaware of his D&D experience, an Offbook & Play It By Ear regular)

Mano Agapion (If Ross DMs, then there's an open spot in the dome! Host of Play It By Ear, Unaware of his D&D Experience)

There's so much else you could do with a concept like this, if everyone's a different subclass, what if their characters are themed around different musicals? Or different genres of music? @samreich we're counting on you

Edit: Please give cast suggestions in the tags! Resident Horny Bisexual Theatre Kid grant got mentioned, and also once offbooker Lou Wilson, who was there for one of my favourite Offbook songs: "No thank you, Too Scary!" (Episode is 68. Monster Kids for those wondering)

The Full list of potential cast members:

Zach Reino

Jess McKenna

Ross Bryant

Brennan Lee Mulligan

Rashawn Nadine Scott

Jiavani

Zeke Nicholson

Grant Anthony O'Brien

Lou Wilson

Krystina Arielle

Sam Riegel

play it by ear nerds who haven't listened to off book: i present one of my favorite songs from the show

also for my own future reference because i think if i listen to this daily i might fix my mental health

my favourite thing about ross bryant is when an improviser in his presence makes a reference to some random period of history or mythology fully intending to make up facts or move past it Forgetting that theyre performing with a walking encyclopaedia who will not hesitate to swoop in and pull the most detailed obscure facts about said thing

#ross bryant #i did just watch whimsy on wheels and i think maybe it is my fav of s1 #also i listened to an off book ep where he did this like three times. who has fucking . ancient egypt facts on hand. im obsessed with him #pibe #off book #mrrow

if i had a nickel for every play it by ear s2 episode where the plot resolution hinges on ross bryant’s character confessing his feelings for another man, i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

#mine #play it by ear #pibe #ross bryant #cornhole in one #joust because #i love you ross never stop improvising epic gay romances #shoutout to zach and edgar as well for falling victim to whatever aura ross possesses that compels men to fling themselves into his arms

zach and jess's outfits in heartbeat hospital are unironically some of my favorite costumes in musical theatre ever. its about the drama. the boldness. how jess's shirt matches her eyeshadow and how the patterns on zach's shirt are vaguely reminiscent of bloodstains. its about how the deep red of jess's lipstick and the deep red of zach's trousers match. heartbeat hospital is a masterpiece on so many levels but especially the outfits
