There's An Official Monty Python RPG Coming

Next month, Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme (yes, that's it's real name) will appear on Kickstarter. In the game, players will carry out quests in medieval Britain using a new rules-lite game system.

​

Characters incude knights, enchanters, royalty, monks, peasants, and more, each of which has 5 of 20 possible traits such as science, glibness, sorcery, and so on. The system has players rolling a die, the size of which is determined by the 'silliness' of the trait's level.

In place of a GM, the game features the Head of Light Entertainment.

You can read more about it over on Dicebreaker.

“She turned me into an RPG!”

Can’t wait for the TPK - “Bring out yer dead!”

So, I guess that means Rabbits have Knights as their Favored Enemy?

So does snails if we are to judge by mediaeval manuscript illustrations.

Seems like a good option if you're bored of D&D and ready for something completely different.

Here’s hoping the skill fo hiding and being stealthy is “How Not To Be Seen”

Hopefully there's some crossover potential.

I've got a dark and terrible confession to make; I don't care for Monty Python very much. I accidentally blurted this out to a really cute redheaded girl when I was in high school, and I'm pretty sure any interest she had in my went out the window with that one statement. And it has been a number of years since I've heard any Monty Python jokes at the table which I am glad of. Still, I'm always happy to see a new RPG find an audience even if it's not for me. I sure didn't expect to see this any time soon though. Truly this is a golden age of RPGs.

Help, my character is oppressed!

I wonder if in an add on, I could buy an argument?

I wonder what the weapon stats will be like for a fork? A dirty, filthy, smelly fork
