The synopsis:
Good King John has finally been crowned King of England after his homicidal brother received his comeuppance on his holiday abroad to the Holy Land. However, many do not believe John’s reforms are right and just and have joined in open rebellion against him. Typical Northerners.
Jethro of Tull, an itinerant tax dodging Minstrel, has been singing patently dishonest, and frankly, quite shameful songs about our Good King John in the pub, Jack-in-the-Green, run by his cousin, Cross-eyed Mary, in Larddingham.
The hard working and incredibly underpaid Crown Servant, the Sheriff of Larddingham, has been dispatched to invite Jethro to an audience with Good King John in London to discuss these ballads.
The table was quite interactive with non-player characters on the table causing mayhem to both sides.
The result:
The morning game (featuring our very own Jamanicus as the Sheriff) saw all sorts of shenanigans with the Outlaws stealing the cart and Simon de Bellende trying to run the drunk and vomiting Jethro off the table edge on foot. He didn’t quite manage to do this before Crown Force Morale collapsed.
The afternoon saw a somewhat more determined effort, and after a hard slog, Jethro of Tull was escorted from the table in the cart (bars provided for his own protection) and now resides in his luxury accommodation in the Tower of London.
Two very fun, but very different games proved that there’s more to Dux Brit than Dark Ages.
