Introduction
Abstract
Alice in Blunderland is a story about an idiot, Alice, a teenage girl from modern
times who wakes one morning to find herself in a fantasy medieval world. The
game focuses on Alice trying to find out why she’s here and getting back to her
own world.
Unfortunately for Alice, she’s very much a fish out of water and the challenges she faces in the game are made difficult by a combination of her lack of
knowledge of the world and her general poor ability to play nice with others.
This will be a humorous game where the humour will be derived from Alice’s
very modern approach to standard fantasy NPCs and scenarios.

Background Story
Alice is a modern teenage girl in the mode of Vicky Pollard and Kelly Bundy.
She cares little about other people’s troubles or feelings and is constantly rubbing people up the wrong way. One day she offends the wrong person, a wizard
named Hal and finds herself at the end of a spell that transports her to the
fantastical world of The Interior, a magical place hidden in the centre of the
earth.
The Interior contains a host of different races and magic is commonplace.
Hal is a wizard who helps prevent evil creatures such as Orcs from over running
the more civilised races. Recently the Orcs have been getting stronger, powered
by some unknown force, but Hal has read a prophecy that a great warrior from
the Exterior (the surface world) will come to their rescue. He travelled there
to find this warrior and was immediately confronted by Alice. Mistaking her
normal belligerant demeanour as that of a great warrior, he immediately cast a
spell to bring her to The Interior.
Despite being the wrong person for the job, Alice will, of course, manage to
defeat the Orcs with a combination of cunning, guile and twenty first century
teenage unpleasantness.
