(The instruction from the GM: "You're a lovestruck fool.  If things slow down in the game, or the plans of the other players go off too smoothly, then do something lovestruck and foolish to stir it up a bit.)Munchausen isn't really an RPG, but it has RPGish elements.  It's a game of competititve tall tales.  A typical game might start with one player asking another, "My dear Baron, I've heard so much about your exploits, why don't you regail us with the story of how you saved the most beautiful woman in Bohemia from being carried of by the King of the Moon, using only your wits and half a horse, and in so doing invented fondue."  Throw in some basic rules for the other players throwing in complications, "Ah but Baron, you could not have possibly climbed to the top of the collossus of rhodes, since as everyone knows it had fallen into the ocean the year before", and it can become very silly very quickly.</blockquote>
