It's the 1300s and absolutely nobody is having a good time. Which is exactly what makes Black Death ( http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=BTR6001 )  such a great game. That's who you play: nobody. As a plague, your job is to hop from unwitting peasant to unwitting peasant, infecting, multiplying, destroying, and moving on in an unbreakable cycle of microbial shenanigans.

Of course, with a lack of medical prowess, an understanding of simple biology, or, heck, soap, Europe doesn't exactly stand much of a chance against you. Which is why you'll be competing against other plagues. He with the highest body count wins!

Sure, it's a little morbid, but thankfully there aren't too many 14th century Europeans running around to object to the subject matter. They're all much too preoccupied. Y'know . . . being dead. Probably from the plague.
