It is the Ides of March. Romans Beware!

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme is a rigorous course of study intended only for serious students of English History. It is by no means a complete and comprehensive manual for running imaginative, highly unpredictable, Mediaeval-themed role-playing games based upon the complete comedic output of Monty Python with one’s friends.

Though the Programme is set in Mediaeval England, it draws upon Monty Python’s entire catalogue to render up an interactive world full of their unique characters, creations, and sensibilities. All of this may be brought to bear for long-term campaigning or just a single evening of educational advancement. Participants need not be familiar with Monty Python’s work in order to participate, nor is role-playing game experience required. (The latter would be entirely useless, as this is emphatically not a role-playing game, and if you do have extensive experience with such things, you are likely too silly a person to participate in this Programme and should stop reading immediately.)

The British Arm of the People Front of Judea has a plan for finally driving out their ancient enemies the Romans, a legion of which is squatting in North Wales, apparently unaware that the empire faded from the world stage several centuries ago. The PJF has discovered that scrawled on the wall of an ancient barrow are the incantations of a long-lost magic spell, one of such devastating lethality that. once they acquire it, no one shall be able to stand in their way. All they need now are some worthy adventurers to... well, do everything*.*

Participants shall be provided with "character sheets" detailing a variety of Situations (that is to say, one's role/job/calling/career) and the Programme's operations shall be instructed to the Reenactors in order to achieve RIGOROUS EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES!

Additionally, Participants are suggested, though not required, to bring any or all of the following:

  • Paper
  • Writing utensils
  • 𝖲̶𝗉̶𝖺̶𝗆̶
  • Dice (this programme employs less common dice such the d14, d16, d18, and d30. I can provide such as I am not expectant of you to have these)
  • 𝖲̶𝗉̶𝖺̶𝗆̶
  • Tokens for tracking spots on your character sheet (though a drawn circle works just as well)
  • An open mind and sense of humour ̶𝖺̶𝗇̶𝖽̶ ̶𝗌̶𝗉̶𝖺̶𝗆̶.
