Our seven protagonists awaken two days before the Battle of Gettysburg and find themselves conscripted into the ranks of Federal and Confederate Infantry
Fly your flag, Find your friends, Save your future,
Only then your home shall you return…
Awaking from Silas Gray’s absinthe, our seven reenactors find themselves not in Room 150 of their hotel but marooned in the deserted countryside, split apart into groups of Yanks and Rebs, and fully equipped with authentic uniforms, accoutrements, supplies, weapons, a set curiously behaving pocket watches, and a striking silver and green flag emblazoned with the monicker ‘21st’.
They soon discover that is the early morning of June 29, 1863. Armed only with a set of cryptic, rhyming instructions, Daniel, Elizabeth, Jesse, Nick, & William find themselves in the ranks of a New York regiment, the Gotham Rifles, while Virgil and Zachary are taken into a Georgia regiment, the Chattahoochee Hornets.
Overwhelmed with shock and fear, these brand new conscripts, or ‘fresh fish’, of the Fighting 21st will have to adapt to the horrendous conditions endured by the battle hardened soldiers now surrounding them. Greeted with a mix of curiosity, suspicion, and outright hostility, it will take not only their knowledge of the time but also every fiber of strength, of body, mind, & soul, to survive in this alien world.
Marching towards an obscure, small town in Pennsylvania, their souls filling with fear, one unanswered question remained: were they sent to save history… or change history? One fact, however, was beyond doubt…
PLAYTIME IS OVER
