De' Medici
This playset is an accessory for the Fiasco role-playing game.
Florence¸ 1559: a city of opportunities for men who have the guts to pursue them. Here¸ struggling artists find rich patrons¸ visionary architects create their dreams¸ ruthless mercenaries get lucrative contracts¸ and shrewd merchants become as powerful as kings.
Ever since the times of Cosimo the Elder¸ the bankers¸ the Medici¸ have ruled this city. Sure¸ way back then it was still called a democracy¸ but the art¸ the armies and the votes were all paid with Medici money.
Upon the assassination of Duke Alessandro twenty-two years ago¸ the merchants and lords of the city enthusiastically welcomed young Cosimo I de' Medici. The nobles saw him as inexperienced¸ weak¸ and an easy puppet to manipulate. They couldn't have been more wrong.
Written by Giulia Barbano and Renato Ramonda of the Janus Design collective¸ this playset is perfect for all your Renaissance-era comedy needs!
