1978. You know your muggle culture-- Punk music. Star Wars. Saturday Night Fever. But the culture of the wizarding world in 1978 is a different story entirely, a story that's just waiting to be told...
It may be a dark time, out there in the real world. Lord Voldemort is climbing to power, but few know about that just yet. At Hogwarts, it may be a dark time simply because you've yet to finish your three feet of Transfiguration homework, or your boyfriend broke up with you, or you've had your hair hexed bright pink by your Charms partner. Again.
On 1 November, 1977, Headmaster Dumbledore announced an addition to the Hogwarts journal systems-- the anonymous journal. The journal is available to everyone in the school, where they can post anything you want, anonymously. Now, don't get too excited-- it isn't just a method to freely insult your enemies. Posts may be anonymous to the students, but Professors can and will be monitoring, and can break the anonymity if the need for taking points arises. But it shouldn't come to that, of course...
The lines of war outside of Hogwarts will be drawn soon enough, but inside the castle walls the same battle rages on, just as it has for centuries-- Gryffindors versus Slytherins versus Ravenclaws versus Hufflepuffs, and so on and so forth. You know where you stand, and hopefully you know who your friends and enemies are as well. Now what are you going to do about it?
Confundo! is a Marauders Era game set in 1978, focusing on Hogwarts students, their culture, and their reactions to the upcoming war.
