It’s Dungeons & Dragons, Monty Python style. Well, only kind of. There are more jokes and the rules are completely different, because this is an original game, coming to Kickstarter this fall.
As tabletop role-playing games explode in popularity, indie publishers are pushing industry boundaries both behind the scenes and in game design, including the kind of material that gets adapted — like Monty Python’s corpus of popular Ren Faire pregame material.
Publisher Exalted Funeral and developer Crowbar Creative have announced a new tabletop RPG called Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme, a tome that cheekily calls itself “not a role-playing game but rather a 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 one’s friends.
