conversations.value: This is a gritty drama about events in London around the time of the Blitz  in September of 1940.
  
  This is my first attempt at narration.  I'm hoping for a historical drama, without supernatural elements or anachronisms, and characters who really might have been in London in 1940.
  
  I'd like to get at least one of each character class.  The classes are general enough so that we may be able to have multiples of some of them.  Please feel free to be creative about your character, changing cards or making your own cards--there is no preference  for whatever "default" cards you get  assigned.  I'm hoping for characters with rich back-stories.
  
  IMPORTANT NOTE:  Before we begin, one of you will be secretly designated the "Nazi spy."  Anyone joining the game should be prepared to play that part if chosen.

  Inspired by:  Foyle's War,  Upstairs Downstairs, and various books by Ken Follett and Agatha Christie and numerous other authors of British mysteries and histories.
