Crowbar Creative and publisher Exalted Funeral hereby declare the forthcomingness of an officially licensed tabletop role-playing game: Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme, which is, in fact, not a role-playing game (silly), but rather a fully official and very 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 your friends.
Furthermore, early-bird backers shall have this exclusive and highly practical Head of Light Entertainment sash bestowed upon them -- for free! Can you buy the sash later? Certainly not! We can’t have too many people running around in sashes and undermining the feeling of superiority they confer.
The Programme consists of a core book featuring an original rules-lite gaming system; character creation, bestiary, and Dramatis Personae sections; tables for generating all sorts of things; and ready-to-run adventure modules. There is also a madcap, backgammon-based minigame that involves dice catapults and farm animals, which is called Fetchez la Vache.
Though the game is set in Mediaeval England, it draws upon Monty Python’s complete catalogue of works -- Flying Circus, films, albums, stage and live shows -- to create an interactive world full of their unique characters, creations, and sensibilities, which can be brought to bear for long-term campaigns or a single evening’s educational advancement. Players need not be familiar with Monty Python’s catalogue of works 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.)
Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme will be available for pre-order through Kickstarter in October 2022, with SKUs including the Bloody Peasant Edition, the Sensible Middle Class Edition, the Public School Edition, and the Upper Class Twit Bundle, along with add ons including custom dice, a Head of Light Entertainment screen, and a Fetchez la Vache set with dice catapults.
