Title: A Cup of Coffee Before Dying
Slot: Breakfast (7:45 AM)
System: The Chrysalis Revolt
Players: 3-5
Summary:
Tonight is the Spring Ball and you, like many of the more important members of the seven Houses, arrived last night to enjoy breakfast with your fellow aristocrats. What to talk about? How about the drudgers, insect-like lifeforms native to Chrysalis but modified by the Empress' scientists to do all of the distateful, dangerous, and menial tasks on the planet? As a rule, humans are cruel to them--after all, they're just the hired help. Most can't even tell the differnce between a Chianti and a Cabernet! Still, they seem more agitated than usual.
That's because, at 9:15 AM, they will rise up and kill most of their human masters. Most? Some humans are too fearsome--the drudgers will leave them alone out of fear. Others are too harmless--there's just no need to go after them. The rest? Slaughter them all.
The Chrysalis Revolt is a competitive storytelling game similar to Baron Munchhausen (the game, not the movie!). We will make up stories over our real breakfasts and try to slide our characters into the feared or harmless categories. If not, we die before GameDay begins.
Rules and characters will be provided ahead of time so you can figure out how to play. That way, we can get right into the game--and coffee. Send me an email if you are confirmed as a player: wjmacguffin (at) gmail (dot) com.
