So, the first season of Lady Penelope’s Odyssey ended up yesterday evening, with a climactic confrontation below our heroine and her first nemesis (who also happened to be her mother – it’s a long story) – and our heroine’s dramatic first regeneration !
Over the coming months, I will try to post actual play summaries of these episodes, in chronological order. In the meantime, I’ve written a two-line “blurb” for each of the thirteen episodes of this first series – a sort of retroactive teaser, if you will.
Episode 1 : The Mists of Time
In which Lady Penelope Ashworth falls into the Vortex – with too many questions in her head and a time-marauding predator on her trail …
Episode 2 : Legacy
In which Lady Penelope Ashworth discovers her true heritage as a child of Avalon and Galifrey… and gets her own TARDIS too !
Episode 3 : The Once and Future King
Lady Penelope returns to Arthurian Britain, becomes the Lady of the Lake and takes Excalibur to a very dark future…
Episode 4 : The City of Chimeras
With the help of two otherworldly cats, Penelope faces the nightmarish menace of the Master of Chimeras in 1920s Paris !
Episode 5 : Lost In Versailles
Lady Penelope travels to 18th century Versailles and helps a couple of alien castaways to escape from the so-called Age of Reason.

Penelope and the Victorian adventurer Lord Ulysses Ashworth engage in some temporal tourism, from Waterloo to the dark days of Richard III.

Did you know Jack the Ripper had struck again in 1893 ? No, of course you didn’t, because it was all covered up by the Torchwood Institute…
Episode 10 : Somewhere In Time
Weston-super-mare, July 1907. Penelope finally gets to meet the Doctor - trapped in a week that never ends. Questions, answers and a waltz on the Grand Pier.
Episode 11 : The Orion Express Mystery
Just remember two things : “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” and, of course, “The butler did it.”
Episode 12 : The Avalon Project

Episode 13 : The Queen of Air and Darkness
