Hrothgar's Hall

By Malcolm Harbrow
Players: 8-12
Genre: Beowulf
Oft
drunken with beer O’er the ale-vessel promised warriors in armour They would
willing wait on the wassailing-benches A grapple with Grendel, with the
grimmest of edges. – Beowulf VIII: 24-27
A
monster has been attacking the hall of King Hrothgar, abducting his thralls in
the middle of the night and eating them, leaving the bones for others to find.
The King has been forced from his hall as a result. Now he has summoned his
mightiest warriors, who have gathered to determine who shall have the honour of
slaying this monster…
This
is a Nordic “framework game”, similar to ‘New Voices in Art’. It includes an
option for live combat for verisimilitude, but can be run theatre-style.
