Regency Tales RPG
Come weave a Regency Tale!
It was a time of over-indulgence and excess, an era when the Prince Regent
rules in place of his father who is going mad, and when the world outside
the border of England is embroiled in political turmoil, war and drastic
change that would shape history in Europe for the rest of the 19th century
and beyond. While The French Revolution saw Napoleon crowning himself
Emperor, the English aristocracy existed in a blissful sense of disconnect
from the struggle of other countries around it. While the rest of Europe
had war in its backyard, they were attending balls, worrying over the
latest fashions, gambling away their inheritance and fretting over who sat
where at a dinner party. And then there are the 'romantic' matches... which
were almost as complex in strategy as a political treaty, and in most cases
just as important. Appearance is everything--but that doesn't mean that
there weren't many secrets carried out behind closed doors!
Welcome to England in 1816, at the height of the Regency period in England.
Meanwhile the rest of Europe and every country directly affected by England
find themselves in a period of change and transition, for the nobility and
beyond. The British East India company monopolizes business and as a result
the wealthy and elite of England can obtain luxuries from around the world.
The rise in men of means without title, like bankers, insurers, merchants
and owners of shipping companies, means that men with ingenuity, talent and
dedication can make their own fortune. The lower classes scrape by a living
while each great house has servants making their beds and tending to their
stables. Regency England is made up of all kinds of people, of all classes
and means, and of all cultures, making it one of the most interesting
periods in history.
