The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Shemhazai]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
After recently going through a server reset and some major house
cleaning, I am so excited to be both staff and player of this game.
I know there have been plenty of bumps with this game and changing
over of staff in the past. All of it was before my time, so I can
review it honestly in the 'how is it now'? category.
Based off of the books by Jacqueline Carey, we have really tried to
set up a game where political intrigue is an easy thing to step into
with many, many character hooks based on predefined family trees.
This instantly allows you to connect with others and have political
allies and enemies almost instantly. Even lesser nobles can play
their parts in the high stakes games of cat and mouse.
For those that shy from politics and like to play more social
situations, we have a strong need for more common characters, rogues,
a thief now and then and people not afraid to play bad guys to stir
things up. We have more ideas than players to play them right now!
If you haven't read the books, but like European renaissance style
games, then just let us know you're new and we'll make sure to help
you get familiar with the theme!
We are super excited to see what this new game can become.
