This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

As the title says, lemme link the article:

https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/monty-pythons-cocurricular-mediaeval-reenactment-programme/feature/monty-python-rpg-designer-interview-holy-grail-dnd

Apparently its meant to be a real tabletop rpg despite reveling in the sillynesss of the Pythons.

"Python's approach was, 'Do what makes us laugh.' So we've made the game we want to play."

So, why not play toon?

I mean it, if I wanted a silly game I would play toon, there's nothing stopping me turning into a D&Desque game either.

In my experience nearly every game has a huge amount of Monty Python Humor at the table.
I am curious what specifically the game would add though.

It worked for Kingdom Hearts...

It just a franchise that hasn't been ruined yet.  :P

But seriously, this is a good question. Would it be like Planescape (or Kingdom Hearts) where players jump from one skit to another? One session they're building a wooden rabbit, they next they're crucifying Brian. Maybe they can chose the manner of their own death, and leap off a cliff whilst being chased by bare-chested women.

Okay, reading more of the article, it says:
Quote... we didn't want to have it set up where, it's a Monty Python roleplaying game, here's Holy Grail Land. Here's Life of Brian Land. And here's the Flying Circus Land. That didn't seem very fun to us. A lot of it is saying: how can we have this entire bizarre universe? How does it all weave together in medieval England?

So it sounds like everything is mashed together somehow. Okay... sounds like it might be fun for a mini-campaign, but I don't see this being much more than a coffee-table book. Something you drag out and show people, but don't often play (if ever).

It will probably sell well in that capacity.

The first thing that came to mind when I got the email from Exalted Funeral was a Dale Gribble quote. "I'm skeptical that you could, but intrigued that you may."

I'm just gonna say it.. I'll probably buy this.
Not sure if I'll ever play it, but it looks like it would be a fun thing to just read through.

Also, considering how several of the Pythons have spoken out against wokeness and the attack on comedy, I think it's safe to assume this book will be safe from fuckery.

Most likely.  :)

The ultimate Death Magic!
It kills everyone the hears it, including the caster.

I can totally see that being in the game. :)
