French Revolution Game

[racaille.livejournal.com]

What? "Le bleu vous va si bien" (Blue suits you so well) a live-action roleplaying (LARP) game set in 1793 Brittany. This celtic region on the west coast of France was famous for its anti-revolutionary activity, so players could play either side (historically, "blues" were the revolutionaries, "whites" the royalists).

When? A few weeks ago, near perfect timing for Bastille Day :)

Where? near Quimper, Finistère, Brittany

Who? In Nomine Ludis, a Breton LARP group



And they had a cannon!




A traditional Breton outfit. I just love the pants.











Even more pics over there

Oh common', don't you have at least a little pity for some good old fashioned royalists? They had cause enough in their own minds for their opinions.

In their own minds... being either brainwashed, selfish and self-interested, or deranged. No, I don't pity them--especially since, whatever they profess, it's well documented that they were just as ruthless and brutal to the "blues" as the blues were to them.
