			'''Monsieur Beauregard’s Hollywood Speakeasy''' is a 22-player [[theatre-style]] larp of Prohibition-era Hollywood crime. It was written by Ray Lavoie.

			Originally the game rules worked by straight numerical comparison (a [[combat number]] system). The WyrdCon run shifted to a simple [[paper-scissors-rock]] system.

	==Summary==		==Summary==
	~~Movie stars~~, ~~criminals~~, ~~reporters~~, and ~~others rub elbows~~ and ~~bend elbows at a speakeasy~~ in ~~Prohibition-Era~~ Los Angeles.		The game takes place at M. Beauregard's, an imaginary speakeasy in the Los Angeles of 1928. Its proprietor, the eponymous M. Beauregard (either of two brothers, actually) is a large and cheerful fellow from New Orleans who maintains a policy of offering hospitality to all comers. As a consequence, his establishment has evolved into an informal meeting place for those individuals who might otherwise not feel comfortable meeting each other elsewhere, be they rival politicians, studio heads, or even mob bosses. This eclectic clientele of movers and shakers in turn attracts the cream (and the dregs) of Los Angeles, as everybody who's anybody will find there way at some time to M. Beauregard's.

	~~==Setting==~~		The game’s focus is on social and political intrigue. Characters will all have goals they wish to accomplish during the evening, scandalous secrets they wish to keep hidden, and information that will be of value to other characters to use as currency and leverage in attaining their goals.

==Summary==
Movie stars, criminals, reporters, and others rub elbows and bend elbows at a speakeasy in Prohibition-Era Los Angeles.

==Setting==
"The game takes place at M. Beauregard’s, an imaginary speakeasy in the Los Angeles of 1928." Although many characters and situations were entirely fictional, there was an emphasis on historical accuracy in the overall milieu.

==Additional Instance==
The game was revised to run as an [[LGL]] event at the first [[Wyrdcon]] under the variant title M. Beauregard's Hollywood Speakeasy, and with slightly different rules. Convention Guest-of-Honor Larry Niven (co-author of [[Dream Park]]) played in the game.
