GREENWICH VILLAGE, 1913
REACTING TO THE PAST is an award-winning series of immersive role-playing games that actively engage students in their own learning. Students assume the roles of historical characters and practice critical thinking, primary source analysis, and argument, both written and spoken. Reacting games are flexible enough to be used across the curriculum, from first-year general education classes and discussion sections of lecture classes to capstone experiences, intersession courses, and honors programs.
Reacting to the Past was originally developed under the auspices of Barnard College and is sustained by the Reacting Consortium of colleges and universities. The Consortium hosts a regular series of conferences and events to support faculty and administrators.
Note to instructors: Before beginning the game you must download the Gamemaster s Materials, including an instructor s guide containing a detailed schedule of class sessions, role sheets for students, and handouts.

GREENWICH VILLAGE, 1913
PART 1: INTRODUCTION
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE GAME
It is 1913 and the four square miles of lower Manhattan called Greenwich Village are humming with rebellious free spirits, who have gathered here to lead a renaissance -a new beginning-in American life. Their goal for the new century is to break down conventions in order to open up radical new possibilities for living in the modern age. Individuals will develop their full human potential through vital contact with marginalized social groups, social interactions between men and women, sexual freedom, and artistic and literary experimentation. Bohemians living in the Village are seeking a revolution centered in the body and the spirit. These Villagers and their friends gather at Polly s, a tiny basement restaurant near Washington Square, to talk about the new world they hope to create.
Others have their eyes on Polly s as well. Suffragists, inspired by the brash tactics of newcomer Alice Paul, have come to win the bohemians support for a huge suffrage parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., on the eve of Woodrow Wilson s presidential inauguration. This is to be a bold show of force by the young suffragists, who plan to demand an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to give women the vote and to demonstrate that suffrage and women s political equality must be our top priorities today.
Over in Paterson, New Jersey, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) have been spurred on by a recent victory in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to organize a strike by silk workers protesting poor wages and the changes that new technologies have wrought on their artisan traditions. Facing police brutality and press censorship, the IWW and the Socialist Party have sent leaders to Greenwich Village to seek the bohemians support in prioritizing the needs of the working class. Soapbox speeches, open-air rallies, parades, and pageants turn Polly s into a site of riotous debate.
The game that you will play over the next few weeks brings into contact and conflict major issues facing a modern and rapidly industrializing nation: women are demanding more legal rights and a political voice; the labor force is organizing to improve work conditions and to limit the power of an ever-expanding industrial capitalism; and bohemians are challenging prevailing views on marriage, sexuality, and the family. All seek social change, but each group has a radically different vision of the New America and its citizens. Greenw
