For any Monty Python fan who has wondered, "What would it be like if they made a TTRPG based on their comedy?" we would say, "'Tis a silly question." But now we know, as we now have a tabletop role-playing game based on the group and their comedy, just in time for the 50th Anniversary of Monty Python and The Holy Grail. The game is called Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme, and while the bulk of it focuses on material from The Holy Grail, it actually covers parts of the BBC TV series as well as their other films, live performances, albums, and other references.
The game was designed by Brian Saliba and Craig Schaffer as part of Crowbar Creative and is being published by Exalted Funeral, featuring two different editions (depending on how much you feel like paying) as well as a number of accessories both out now and coming soon. Our favorite is the dice catapult, so you can randomly hurl your rolls the same way the French would check a cow over the wall. The game and its accessories are currently available on EF's website, as we have more details below.
Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme
Betwixt these firm yet supple covers, one shall find everything one needs to experience the joy of Mediaeval study, from character creation and factions to ready-to-run quests and monsters – including the French! One need not be familiar with Monty Python's work, nor is experience with 'role-playing games' required. If you have experience with the latter, you are probably too silly a person to participate and should stop reading immediately.
