and now I assigned 22 roles to both Craig and Jason. Now only waiting for Tomas to relinquish 2 of his roles and assigning them to C&J respectively. And then we're DONE (and can start recording LOL)

MW so far accurate, apart from the 2 DR roles which need to be changed

Alright, I will relinquish Puck in "Compliment to Queen Elizabeth" and Rhoecus in "Rhoecus." Sorry for the mistake. :oops:

perfect, this works out, so Craig receives Puck and Jason Rhoecus :thumbs: I feared it would involve more messing around.

Sorry it was confusing the way I counted the roles probably. Maybe I should have counted the packages as 1

Well now we are all set. Have fun recording.

Recording time: 0:35 min.

Recording time: 0:45 min.

I plan on pre-PLing the DR parts again before assembling, so the errors get caught immediately. Would anyone of you have time to pre-PL my parts, please ?

Not pressing of course, as it's still early days.
