"Remember, remember, the fifth of November…
It’s 1605, and if everything goes smoothly, the State Opening of Parliament in England is set to commence in May. However...thirty-six barrels of gunpowder are found in the basement of the House of Lords, and the grandiose event is promptly rescheduled to November."
Against this clear attempt at regicide against King James I, a fracture between the religious factions in England begins to grow. While delegates point fingers at each other in an attempt to find the conspirators among them, there are other matters that require attention: a mysterious plague ravaging the country, rising tensions overseas, or perhaps the signs of another assassination attempt brewing.
In this crisis committee, delegates are not constrained by the alliances of their characters. Conspirators may backstab their own in order to gain favor with the King, or nobility may endeavor to seize power for themselves—therefore, distrust is palpable in the air. The only person you can trust is yourself. Not only must delegates engage in front-room investigations and negotiations, they must also take initiative in backroom to protect their own interests and goals, whether that means gaining power, equal-opportunist sabotage, or simply protecting your faith.
Remember: your every move will be scrutinized by potential enemies. Will you be the fox burrowing into the coop, or a sitting hen awaiting execution?
