PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME WAS A ONCE ONLY SESSION AT CONQUEST GAMES CONVENTION, April 6 2015. THERE ARE NO PLANS TO REPEAT THIS GAME AT THIS TIME.
“They seek him here,
They seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in Heaven or is he in Hell,
that Damned elusive Pimpernel.”
Under the cover of most outlandish disguises, and supported by his loyal band of English fops, the mysterious ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ risks all to save aristos from the Terror of France and the guillotine. The leaders of the new French government are stretched to their limits in seeking out this enemy, and hunting down the aristos concealed in Paris. And now the as the English ambassador withdraws from France, Paris will see it’s last lavish soiree. Just how many traps may there be sprung?
A not quite Historical freeform of political intrigue and daring adventures.
As run in 2006, repeat players welcome.
