“In the Spring of 1949, a year before Rex Heslop bought the 100 acre Wilbert Wardlaw farm on the east side of Islington Avenue (in the area that is eventually to become Rexdale) a serial murderer with a penchant for medieval medical tools, is on the loose, and their eyes have found their way, to you.”
All pathways & scenarios will be published in the coming months, but if you wish to share the game with those you know, I encourage you to do so.

How to Play
To play the game Rexdale ‘49, enter your email address, username & the selection of your first path (begging, persuading, freeing, Maskeyline technique, tip your chair back, or do nothing) You will be then provided your own page & password where you can play the game.
Each selection leads to an episode - run/reading/listening time up to ten minutes or so.
Each game is free, but we do ask for a contribution if you are able to give, as all funds go to helping my brother Salim, who is currently dealing with Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis
Salim will need a liver transplant to save his life, so while we search for a living liver donor, we’re raising funds to go towards paying for his rent, food & medication.
Rexdale ‘49 is part of the ‘Play a Game’ series that combines traditional RPGs with Audio Drama.
If you don’t want to play, but do want to follow the pathway of one story, I’m uploading one of the pathways here for you to sample.

A Quick Word
As I’m sure you’ve seen elsewhere on the site (specifically at Emergency Fundraiser for Salim — VMH) my brother Salim has Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis. Without a liver transplant soon, he will die.
He’s been on the waiting list for almost two years. His work has now moved him to long-term disability and that affects his benefits as well for very expensive medication. The financial strain on him is only exacerbating his condition.
We’ve been running a fundraiser for him, but it’s going pretty slow lately. We’ve also set up a campaign to help find him a living liver donor, but there are layers of bureaucracy that make it challenging to receive a transplant from a living donor in this country.
The fundraiser is for his rent, food & medication but more, it’s to buy us enough time to find him that living liver donor to save his life. If we can cover his expenses for the next two months, I can spend more time searching for a living liver donor to not only help him, but raise awareness for many others in our country who are in need of a transplant to save their lives (& how someone can help by being a living donor)
With that in mind, I’ll be doing a marathon of performances. Day after day, until we reach our goal, you’ll receive new work from Roncesvalles 2013 to the Audio Drama/RPGs, to This Poet Is/Not Dust (& a lot more) You can support my brother Salim at the link/button below.
I know it’s hard out there. I know of the financial uncertainty of things. But if everyone reading this donated $25 or more to him, it buys him that time for me to find him that living liver donor and we save his life.
