About the adventure

You needed a second chance. Did you run afoul of a dangerous thieves’ guild? Did you betray your church in a moment of moral conflict? Did you do things you’ll never forget on the battlefields below Amethyst Cliffs? Outside the City of Sin and Forgiveness stands a small vineyard and village where, they say, you can start over. Braggins, the suspiciously scarred and wooden legged seneschal of the vinery hires you to act as a groom, a butcher, or a chambermaid. But that’s not all they need. Adventure in defense of the only place that’ll have you. Uncover secrets of espionage and intrigue between powerful patrician families. Half criminal, half hero, all plebeian. Do you love Downtown Abby but wish it had more dungeon crawling? Enjoyed Bridgerton but can’t understand why those girls never break out swords to handle things the simple way? Couldn’t stop watching Game of Thrones but wish it were more, idk, cozy? ____________________________________________________________ Hi! I’m a twenty year vet of game design and freelancing, and I want to bring you a fresh take on intrigue, espionage, adventuring and the weird sort of found family one can only get from a group of rag-tag second chancers. Our campaign of Mustn’t Tell the Lady is a unique setting blending traditional fantasy tropes with the tense interpersonal conflicts of shows like Upstairs Downstairs or Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. Because the setting is unique, it is also alive! No need to read a dozen novels and a hundred source books. I will build the setting around your needs and provide you with as much or as little game lore to get the stories growing! But don’t worry, this is not going to be an RP only game! We’ll do adventure, exploration, puzzle solving and combat just like any of your favorite streaming games or traditional tables! Just with some interesting setting flair and a little community responsibility! So shake the rust off your mother’s sword, and grab some fresh laundered aprons, that horse stable isn’t going to muck itself, and the Villa Uvavinnia isn’t going to save itself. ____________________________________________________________ We'll use a zero session to help build characters and player expectation before you start play! Can’t wait to see you at the virtual table!
