November 9th, 2019: One-day RTTP Workshop at Boston University

Game offered: Bacon's Rebellion and the Birth of American Racism, 1676

Bacon’s Rebellion (game in development) transports the classroom to Jamestown for the Virginia Grand Assembly in 1676 to deliberate about the “Indian Problem.” Once regarded by early scholars as a precursor to the American Revolution War, Bacon’s Rebellion symbolized and epitomized the patriot’s enlightened revolutionary ideals through a premature uprising against the tyranny of hierarchical rule. Modern scholars argue in favor of an approach that focuses more on America’s original sin: the terrible transformation from a society with slaves to a slave society. Game author Verdis Robinson will serve as Game Master.
