Remember, remember, the fifth of November:
The gunpowder, treason, and plot.
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Who all our there uses political coups (failed or successful) and conspiracy theories (true or false) in their story lines? I've found them to be a great element in games and stories, bringing with them tension, suspense, and getting caught up in events and powers beyond one's control. They also provide one with an opportunity to identify with causes or reflect on the problematic of political causes.
