The Queen and I – Part 1 and Part 2 (2-shot)
The land you live in has been at war for as long as any of you have been alive.
The Queen has decided to undertake a long and perilous journey to broker an alliance with a distant power.
The Queen has chosen all of you, and no one else, to be her retinue, and accompany her on this journey.
She chose you because she knows that you love her.
…
However, as the journey continues and you learn more about your relationship with the Queen, what will you decide to do when she comes under attack — help to defend or to attack her?
Session 1 (Aug. 20): We will play For the Queen to create characters and setting. The ending of For the Queen will serve as setup for the start of session 2.
Session 2 (Aug. 27): We will use a barely there rules hack of DramaSystem to play out what happens next for the characters and their queen.
Note: Playing both sessions is desirable given the setup from the first session.
Reserving spots for two players: Gareth and madelancholy.
