Medieval England, circa 1300. The ancient capital of Winchester is bustling, the local lord's court is in full swing, and a mysterious traveller called "Ryanardo" has just materialised in the marketplace whistling Chuck Berry. His plan? Introduce Guns N' Roses to the Middle Ages using nothing but a lute and sheer audacity.

Ryan's strategy for medieval stardom: form a partnership with a local bard, invent a fusion of 14th-century folk music and 1980s rock, and ride the resulting fame all the way to the royal court. The rockstar ego arrives on schedule. So does the terrible decision-making. Somewhere between the lute solo and the lord's wife, the plan takes a turn that no amount of mead can fix. And when the dust settles, Ryan's backup plan involves badgers, breakdancing, and a Game Master who is visibly losing patience.

Winchester in 1300 was the old capital of England, a city of stone walls, market fairs, and social hierarchies so rigid that a wrong word at court could end your career or your life. The idea that you could rock up, perform Guns N' Roses on a lute, and then make a move on the lady of the house? That's not a cultural revolution, it's a death wish with a backing track.

If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive — or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch? PastMaster is the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game. Each episode, a comedian is dropped into the past with nothing but modern knowledge and terrible ideas. The AI Game Master is strict. The chaos is inevitable. The past will be mastered.

Era: Medieval | ~1300 CE | Winchester, United Kingdom
