Festival on Rethe?

[Spinward Scout]

With Mardi Gras this week, I was wondering if anyone has run any adventures during Festival on Rethe?

I'm going ressurect this since Mardi Gras is about a month away (Fat Tuesday is Feb. 24th this year). If you want to run a game during Festival on Rethe or have the need to throw a festival of some sort at your players, here's a few links to give you ideas:

...I was wondering if anyone has run any adventures during Festival on Rethe?

I've always wanted to...

...it sounded ripe for all kinds of adventure :devil:

For those wondering here's the Traveller Library Data entry on it (from Adventure 1):

Rethe, Festival of

Annual celebration of the colony on Rethe (Regina / Spinward Marches 2408). Originally a reaction to the restrictive governmental structure considered necessary for survival on Rethe , the three day holiday period has continued as a carefree celebration where citizens release the tension that has built up over the year. All laws are suspended, with law level becoming 0 during the celebrations. Some abuses have always been persistent, but the population has always resisted any effort to change the conditions of their favorite holiday.


The Travellers' Aid Society has classified Rethe as an Amber Traverl Zone during the period of the Festival.

The Rhunes on the world Marune in Jack Vance's book Marune: Alastor 933 have a similar concept of suspended law during darkness (Marune has four suns and 'mirk', when all four are below the horizon, occurs about once a month). 'Mirkdeeds' are not considered criminal. However, deeds planned before mirk and carried out disguised as mirkdeeds are still punishable.
