Freaking out the Founding Fathers of America

Philadelphia, 1775. Colonial America is on the brink of declaring independence, the Founding Fathers are assembling, and Ryan, as the ever-reliable "Ryanardo," has arrived with two goals: amend the Constitution before it gets written, and get his face carved onto Mount Rushmore. The first is noble. The second is unhinged. Both are very PastMaster. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson are all present. Ryan's plan involves whispering about equal rights to men who own slaves, pitching constitutional amendments two centuries early, and generally trying to insert himself into the founding of a nation. Also, Dolly Parton is here, for reasons that are never fully explained. The Game Master hasn't even questioned it. The Continental Congress of 1775 was the beginning of the American experiment — a gathering of colonial representatives who would go on to write the Declaration of Independence and, eventually, the Constitution. Philadelphia was the nerve centre, and the men in the room would become the most mythologised figures in American history. Ryan's trying to join that club. Whether the Founding Fathers are ready for a British time traveller with progressive politics and an unexplained country singer is the question. If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive — or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch? PastMaster is the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game.
