Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme is a tabletop roleplaying game that blends the absurdity of Monty Python and the Holy Grail with a delightfully twisted take on medieval life. It’s part satire, part historical nonsense, and all Python.

Players, called participants, take on roles known as situations—such as Knight, Churl, Monarch, Cleric, or Troubadour—each with their own oddball traits and a Spiffing Serious Ability that can cause glorious success or hilariously pointless outcomes.

Instead of a normal Game Master, you get the Head of Light Entertainment (HoLE)—a fictional BBC executive (who might be a man, a woman, a penguin, or a llama) whose personal biases shape the story. Participants must learn what the HoLE likes (or doesn’t) to survive the chaos.

Expect absurd characters, surreal encounters, unexpected failures, and very silly voices. It’s not just a game—it’s a reenactment. Allegedly.

What to bring: Pencils, a dice app as some of the dice rolled aren't possible using physical math rocks, and a sense of humor,

Pregenerated characters will be provided. No prior roleplaying experience required.
