Mythic Consequences – 21–24 November 2019

Mythic Consequences, November 21–24, 2019, Naish Holiday Village, Christchurch, Dorset

"Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day." (C. G. Jung)

The physical Notorious Consequences is Cancelled due to the current Covid-19 situation. Instead, we plan to run an online convention throughout November. More detail will be forthcoming as we work out the details.

Tea at Longbourn

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"

Mr Bennet, a gentleman of modest means and the father of five daughters, has invited new neighbours and friends over for tea at his home, Longbourn House, so that they can get to know each other. His wife strongly believes that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

The game is set in the world of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, but players should expect the unexpected, as elegant Regency costumes and decorous manners conceal that all is not how it seems on the outside. Surprises abound for characters who are concerned for their futures in an uncertain world. We hope that Austen, a fan of the pleasing shocks of Gothic novels, would approve of the liberties we have taken with her characters. Players seeking a straightforward Regency game setting of courtship and social climbing should look elsewhere.

Kaye, Heidi

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....
