The Tomb of the Mad Goddess

Wellington
#1

England, 1839. It is the beginning of an exciting new era. A new Queen has been crowned and Britain is on the brink of her most prosperous time.

Queen Victoria has been gifted with a great discovery, the Column of Cleopatra, by the most pre-eminent explorers of the Age; the Society of Exceptional Discovery. This grand obelisk was unveiled to great pomp and ceremony with members of society, Parliament and industry in attendance.

However the Column was not all that it seemed. More than being merely an object of remarkable history, it is in fact Cleopatra’s tomb. Rather than a dried up husk, the Last of the Pharaohs lay inside as beautiful as the day she died. Driven mad by these many centuries of captivity The Queen of the Nile burst forth, like a screaming banshee, and attempted to take Queen Victoria’s life.

Brave souls sacrificed themselves in order for the Queen to escape deeper into the Society buildings, where she is now trapped. The dread Cleopatra is now causing havoc through out London, while the Queen and the Society try to discover how to kill her once and for all.

Is this merely a coincidence or has some devilish plot been hatched from with in the Society itself? Can Cleopatra be stopped before she destroys London around them? Can the Society rise above it’s recent divisions in this darkest of hours?

Find out in The Tomb of the Mad Goddess.

Thanks for your interest guys. Just wanted to get the teaser up. Will put up a cast list in a few weeks to get on with casting for those interested.

#7

Definitely interested. Just depends when…

#8

That sounds seriously cool.

Drat that my travel budget for the year is largely expanded …

#9

#10

Hannah and I are showing hearty interest :slight_smile:

#11

I’d just like to express my interest (in case the game fills before it’s even advertised :wink: )

I was wondering is this going to be an action-oriented game? I’m not sure that ladies garments of 1839 are well suited to midnight chases across roof-tops, so will we need to start the rational dress movement early?

#12

Women in this era that wanted to dart over roof tops would have worn mens clothes? Tucked their hair up in a cap, pulled over their face so they were like boys rather then women? Based solely on movies I’ve seen… Hehe

Action may happen, there will be some characters that have more of an oppertunity for it than others. But at it’s heart this is still a theatreform larp, so I’m not expecting many midnight chases across rooftops. Not that I would mind if that’s what people decided to do :wink:

Sounds very cool Sophie :slight_smile: Action isn’t my middle name, but it’s certainly in there so I’m keen :smiley: (NIChOlAs PiTt)

Hi all,

I just wanted to jump on here to see if anyone in Wellington (or out of Wellington) is interested in playing in Tomb of a Mad Goddess. I planned this to be a 20 person game, but as 20 people have already said their keen I’m trying to decide if I add a few more characters.

So if you are interested, please let me know either through here or via email/Facebook.

It will be run in mid-November.

Sophie
