An rpg. Ish. By me. Go tear apart, my pretties.

Actually, it was a really great read. I rented the Blackadder Xmas special last Christmas, and it wasn't as funny as I remembered it to be.
But now that I've read your game, I want to go find the actual series ... I've really only seen the WWI ones and a few episodes from other series. I remember LOVING that show.
Anyhow, the game sounds like a hoot. Really. Especially the Cunning Plan piece. I'm a big sucker for good rules that support a premise.
Of course, I only speed-read the thing (I'm here at work), and I'd have to play it to provide any good criticism, sooo ... you've got one playtest volunteer!

Gareth--
I'm at work right now, so I can't read all the rules, only because I keep laughing & people are looking at me strangely. I love the "cunning plan" rules ("I have a plan so cunning, you could brush your teeth with it"). & you include the "crap out a window" scene, which is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite episodes from my favorite of the blackadder series. (The Baby-Eating Bishop of Bath & Wells: "Blackadder, do you have any children?" Blackadder: "No, m'lord." Bishop: "Then we'll skip breakfast & get right to the point."--also, I love when Percy discovers "pure green".)
Ah, good stuff.
