Description

Subsequent to their various defeats at the hands of heroes and heroines the villains of fairy-tale and fantasy have been taken in hand by The Powers That Be and ordered to atone for their crimes by attending group therapy.

In this �Safe� environment they will, (under expert supervision) explore and share their feelings, dig deep into their hurts and heartaches and air their untold �Dirty Laundry� in front of their contemporaries in an effort to find some measure of closure before they are allowed another spin of the mortal wheel.

Villains Anonymous is a light-hearted game poking fun at famous (and Mouse endorsed) fairytale villains, it provides the option to explore numerous common and not-so-common mental disorders from the point of view of another person (the �Character�) maybe encouraging a greater understanding of mental health issues for the players as a whole within a �safe� environment.

The game is written by/with input from trained mental health professionals to provide players with a basis for understanding the drives/disorders these characters may possess.

There is no intent to �belittle�, �make light of� of �mock� any individual, group or sufferer of any of the conditions referenced. The key goal and intent of the game is to serve as a fun warm-up LRP with a good measure of humour and characterization to get the players in the mood for the Convention weekend.
