Morpho Londinium

A live-action role-playing game for eight players set at a celebration in a London house for the seminal work of modern entomology — M. Malpighi’s treatise on the silkworm. Discussion of the treatise and science masks the secrets and politics of the characters. Action is through themed powers of each of the characters, who are each identified with an insect, plus a set of four possible actions.

Two hosts and six guests gather to celebrate and discuss the latest treatise to be published by The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge. The current is on the anatomy of the silkworm, and is destined to be the seminal work of modern entomology. The author is an Italian professor of medicine, Marcello Malpighi, the only Italian member admitted thus far to the Royal Society.
