More notes from the old Continuum campaign. Same place as my last post, but far less creepy this time.
751 AD - March 12th at 12:00 noon - France - Piscean - soigne démasqué . Thespian-Midwife Corner in a Dark Ages lodge. Same as last place, couple months up. Playlist: 7th Sea Religious
Same place, but better weather. The only people here now are a couple of individuals from the dark-clothes crowd.
Fun Things:
1. Performance. They make you feel at home, put on some partly improvised plays in heavily accented almost-modern english. These are spanner dramas, never to be performed before levellers. They involve heavy use of anachronism, a few bits stolen from Bill & Ted, and an amazing multiple-gemini performance for the climax.
2. Individual Tutoring. Izzy sidesteps with certain individuals from L336 to reward them for not getting involved in the big violations. She takes them each individually to Spain for 3 months in the 1500s. It is purely a vacation, to make up for Verseilles.
Next two pages list everyone’s skill improvements and attribute upgrades
Give them all a brief explanation of societal space-time. Izzy also sketches out the time line for them in greater detail than previously.
Note: Under no circumstances does she do this for Kail or Kelley, they gain nothing. Probably, I should have Liam & Kevin step out on the porch for a few minutes while I tell everybody else about thier personal Spanish vacations.
Watched two plays - Mind and Quick rolls to understand them. Failure on either meant you just didn’t get it.
Before you leave: The Thespians help you get dressed for Rome in Togas or Stollas as appropriate.
They really get into it, explaining that only Roman Citizens may wear Togas.
While you are there, you will be Roman Citizens from a remote province. “key-wiss row mar-nuss sum” is “i am a roman citizen”.
Ladies are taught “my husband is citizen patrician”. The Thespians make them up via roman-era cosmetics, made from wood ash and red wine.
