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 1815, 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.
