Burning Orchid |
Set in 1932 at the party celebrating the wrap of location filming for a
Hollywood movie. Burning Orchid is an immense blockbuster, detailing
the passionate heart of a claustrophobic forbidden love story set in the
jungle villages of Guatemala against a background of a country riven by
political turmoil. And that’s not just the movie! Glamorous cast, intense
emotions, a steamy situation, secrets past and present – who knows what might
happen, but fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night. |

| Information for Players: | Character sheets and background will be about 6 pages long. 1930s costuming suitable for an evening event is encouraged for atmosphere. The game is very much character focused rather than event focused, with roleplaying being the focus rather than problem solving or politicking. The theme is intensely emotional, centring on romance and the game includes adult themes. It is not suitable for under-18s. Players need to be willing to play characters in romantic situations and with various sexualities, as all characters have romance. The game deals with adult themes like illegitimacy and sexual orientation. Character backgrounds may include references to murder, war trauma, romantic liaisons with disastrous consequences (e.g unwanted children or miscarriage) and prostitution. One of the characters is a Catholic priest. We strongly recommend you consider how these issues might affect you before signing up for the game. | ||

Generally found on the sofa with a laptop into the wee hours, you are addicted to
freeforms and board gaming. Having started on a whim as a last-minute player in
Home of the Bold at Convulsion in 1992, your obsession has grown and grown.
Beginning by playing freeforms at cons and the occasional game of Settlers of
Catan at home, you swiftly moved on to writing, running and playing freeforms at
every opportunity and owning a large collection of board games, playing them both
in real life and online. As Comfy Chair of Peaky Games, you conduct an annual
Spanish Inquisition as to who’s working on which freeforms to prepare them for
publication, in your mania to spread your passion for freeforming to the whole
world.
Your abilities are: existing on little sleep, writing your cats into your games and carrying a big stick.
Your Heart Ability (usable by your True Love) is multi-tasking.
Your goals are: find the six-fingered man who killed your father, the one-armed man who killed your brother's wife and the woman in white who escaped from the asylum. And maybe find some romance on the way....
