The Play’s The Thing
| 3-5 players | 2-4 hours | Rated Teen |
The Play’s The Thing is a tabletop RPG about actors who want to rewrite the Shakespearean roles they’ve been given. You and your friends tell the story of an acting troupe scheduled to perform, but everyone has their own ideas about how the play should go. While the Playwright might present you with a classic Shakespearean folio, you’ll use your imagination and wit to create new events and excitement in old stories to further your acting career and steal the show.
The system is a GM-light story game where players gather dice pools and roll to gain narrative control of the play.
If you are a fan of Moulin Rouge, The Producers, or Shakespeare In Love, you’ll love The Play’s the Thing!
