Game Library Addition: Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme

Monday, March 24th, 2025

I did a fair amount of wargaming in my youth, but have done piratically none since graduating college. Still, every now and then a boardgaming Kickstarter strikes my fancy, as this one, vaguely based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail and first announced back in 2022, did. I think this is the first game I’ve bought since the designer edition of Ogre.

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme. Exalted Funeral, 2025. This has numerous components:

  • The “Public School Edition” of the main game book

  • Head of Light Entertainment Gamemaster Screen with 18 HoLE cards

  • A Head of Light Entertainment sash
  • Two “Black Beast” Nesting Box Dice Sets

  • Meeple Set
  • Bag of tokens
  • Coconut dice roller

  • Fetchez la Vache! boardgame feature catapults and cows. This was an add-on. It’s too big to fit on the scanner, so here’s an image I stole from the Kickstarter page:

    • All components are Fine/New, still in shrinkwrap or bag.

    Bought for $250 back in 2022, but only shipped this year.

    Ogre KickStarter Update

    Friday, May 11th, 2012

    The funding period ending for the designer edition of Ogre I previously mentioned.

    The total amount raised:

    I would imagine that Steve is a very happy camper right now, especially considering that the original goal was $20,000…

    That’s One Hell of a Kick

    Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

    Back when I moved into my house in 2004, Steve Jackson was one of the people helping tote those hundreds of boxes of books. I used to contribute pieces to The Space Gamer, and helped playtest Shockwave, and we bumped into each other at various SF events around Austin. He also generously agreed to proof read Nova Express back when it was a going concern, and did an excellent job.

    Steve decided to go the Kickstarter route to fund the “Designer Edition” of Ogre. His initial funding goal was $20,000. Actual amount pulled in? As of this writing, $422,719 (and no doubt it will have gone up by the time you click that link).

    Congrats Steve!
