Playwrights and Piledrivers
A supplement for a comedic rollplaying game, this scenario stages a tag-team battle on the riverbanks of Hades over who deserves credit for the complete works of William Shakespeare. Teams include the Earl of Oxford and Sir Francis Bacon, alongside Shakespeare and Macho Man Randy Savage. It includes six pre-generated characters, new combat maneuvers, and fiction inspired by Shakespearean authorship theories, mythic afterlife adventures, and professional wrestling.
