Victorian Role-Playing game, Monty Python style!

The Musee McCord Museum has a great role-playing game set in the 19th century that you can play here. You wander around doing Victorian-like things, and bad things happen to you if you do un-Victorian like things. For example, if you choose the wrong clothing for a social situation, a kangaroo with lasers in its eyes shoot you, ninja assassins toss you around a bit, or angel babies assault you. It often ends up more fun to choose the wrong answers--for instance, if at the ball you decide to impress a girl with your mad dancing skills, it is quite a hoot as you wave your hands in the air, and she runs away.

Even if you accidentally choose the right answer, it's still very amusing. The game has Terry Gilliam (i.e. Monty Python) style animation, and the voices are the kind of incoherent silly mutterings you'd expect from Python. Unfortunately, they don't include a role-playing game for the 18th century, but they do have another game for the "Roaring Twenties" at the same site. Support the study of history and the spirit of Monty Python at the same time!
