dagibbsgabriel_le and I ran a game of Long Live the King starting at 2pm yesterday. Despite White Wolf's estimate of 4 hours for the game, it actually ran until close to 10pm, though we did take a little over an hour off for dinner.
Many people came in costume, and ilanikhan kindly brought costuming materials for the rest of us, so we managed to have all of our players in some kind of costume, even if they weren't neccessary all of anything like the same period. It still definitely added to the atmosphere.
The rules themselves leave a LOT of holes and lack of clarity, so there were a lot of judgement calls to be made on exactly how things worked, and luckily we didn't hit a victory condition discrepancy that we spotted near the end.
I took the King role, which was essentially the game master role, with gabriel_le as my scribe and able assistant. We had players for all of the 7 main roles, and 3 supporting actors to take on the minor roles as required.
The game was busy, hectic, fun, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I'm glad we did it, but I'm not ready to do it again for a while.
