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.
