Brithright as Funny Fantasy? Go figure. I also have Monty Python and th=
e Holy
Grail. Here are my thoughts on it and how it can be used for BR.
- It’s stupid and it goes against the Laws of Human Anatomy (the Black K=
night
still alive after having all four limbs cut off? COME ON!). - It’s better than Prince Valiant
- It’s better than Excalibre
- It’s better than the Sword in the Stone.
- It can’t compare to Knights of the Round Table.
- It needs a bloody ending (not LITERALLY!).
- I’ve seen swashbuckler films that are more sincere (Robin Hood: Men i=
n
Tights! for one). - I don’t recommend using the entire script for playing in a BR campaig=
n,
however, the Black Knight episode is good since your dealing with a heroi=
c
game. For a more Austere game like Rolemaster, I’d trash it.
