Seattle Parliament August 2010 Game: Pauper's Holiday

The inaugural Seattle Parliament Game was held in August 2010 at All Pilgrims' Church.

Game Summary
Join us for the 4th of July Pauper's Holiday in the Aeroplex Piers. Masks a must.

The party is being hosted in Piers, the slums of the City of Light. Normally, most sane people don’t go down there for any good or legal purposes. (The local police only enter the Piers in overwhelming force and numbers.) However, this is the one night of the year various gang leaders rein in their muscle so that everyone can enjoy themselves. Violence is not unheard of, but if generally swiftly and brutally dealt with. This  year, the party is being put on by a set of Glass Knife Nightmen, trader nomads with a reputation for fair, shrewd deals and interesting fashion sense. Helping them to keep the peace are the Red Hands, very tentative allies of the Glass Knives and known barbarians and raiders. A contingent of each has entered the city, and set up in the Piers. Fireworks are not being set off, due fire hazard, but people have all manner of noisemakers. This part of the party is a tavern/shanty feasting hall.
