I hear the Klingon version of most Shakespeare is pretty awesome.

Ok, voice of a dissenter. I am, frankly, scared s***less about this version. I have always been a great fan of the novels, and, just as all of the previous editions of Tolkien's work have sucked on film because they were too light, too short and too far from the material Peter Jackson's version, was close enough and done with enough of the passion of a fan that it felt right.
I hope I'm wrong, the point about RDJ's co-existing cocaine habit is a bright spot and after his stellar performance in Iron Man I do not fear his work ethic. I do fear, however, his direction and the obvious action envisioning of Holmes. I hope I'm wrong, I really do, but color me dubious. Watson should be older than Holmes (a doctor in Victorian times for Thor's sake) so... Jude Law - I think I just threw-up in my mouth a little.
Is it too late to root for Moriarty?

I once played in an all-Klingon Star Trek TOS movie era campaign, and we ended up getting flung into the past and crash landing on Earth in the Elizabethan era near Stratford-upon-Avon. While exploring the local area to gather supplies so we could repair our ship (we all lacked the Klingon head ridges because part of our mission was to be able to pass as human when necessary - Enterprise hadn't come along yet to explain why Klingons lacked head ridges, and we were supposed to be more like Darvin the Klingon spy from the Tribbles episode), a certain famous bard deep in his cups and mouthing off at a local tavern we entered met his untimely demise at the point of a d'k tahg. Once the significance of what we had done was realized, we ended up having our ship's cook (who was a connoisseur of Klingon Opera) stay behind and assume his place in Earth history with a Klingon translation of human Shakespeare works and "write" the plays instead. He was later recovered after he fixed the time line, and he brought back copies of "his" work to Qo'noS, and it was an instant bestseller there.
We were clever like that.

For a second I thought that, in your game, the works of Shakespeare we all know were really translated Klingon plays (rather than Shakespeare translated to Klingon and back to English). That would have been fantastic.

Well, the copy the cook had was incomplete, so he had to improvise - let's just say his favorite Klingon opera has a plot very similar to Titus Andronicus...

Elizabeth R.: Has thou noticed our Will hath become most plump in the mid region and his brow more full?
Sir Walter Raleigh: And his flesh hath become slightly more ebony in hue.
Elizabeth R.: Perchance some Moorish blood doth run through his veins?
And sometime later in the future...
Captain Picard: Odd. I never noticed before that the dramatis personae of MacBeth lists actual names for the three witches - Lursa, B'Etor and Mara! Mr. Crusher, have you been hacking into the main computer again?!?
