Aha! Welcome, dear reader, to yet another place where I, the Baron Munchausen, have managed to secret away a few more paragraphs about my game where my dastardly editor cannot find them. I must be brief, but the pen of the Munchausens is as swift as the arrows fired upon me by the Dragon-hunters of northern Greenland. (They mistook me upon my flying carpet for some new breed of dragon. Truly, they are a useless people.)
My game, then, in brief. The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a storytelling game of my own devisement, that invites you and your stout companions to share the tales of your adventures and exploits from around, across, and (in some cases) through the circumference of the world. As each one tells his story, the others shall interject with most villainous objections and interruptions, yet the true storytellers among you will persevere. Upon the completion of each one's tale and a copious amount of drinks, the best story will be judged by all players and the next round is ready to begin!
IT WAS TRULY SAID, by the King of the Moon-people, upon the multiple occasions that we happened to converse, that those happy junctures between good friends, good stories, and good wine were the best times of his life. I could not help but agree, of course, with the sole addition that my own game of rôle-play was the only absent ingredient in his recipe.
Perhaps you have never heard of my game or my innumerable exploits, in which case, you are undoubtedly either a plebeian or an American, which is at least as bad. My adventures are as well known as the fact that the Earth is flat (which I proved to the Royal Geographical College in 17—) or the Frenchman’s aversion to bathing.
Fortunately for you, all hope for the ennobling of your soul and the betterment of your nature is not yet behind you. For I, Baron Alexandyr Grigoriyev Munchausen, have partnered with my dear friend and scrivener James Wallis and the fine purveyors of games at Fantasy Flight Games to create a Third Edition of my game: The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen, told, as before, in a new style of game termed “Rôle-Play.”
