About the adventure

ROMANCE. SCANDAL. MANNERS. Welcome to Good Society, the Jane Austen roleplaying game. Good Society is a collaborative regency rpg that seeks to capture the heart, and the countenance, of Jane Austen’s work. It is a game of balls, estates, sly glances, and turns about the garden. At least on the surface. Underneath this, just as in Austen’s own novels, it is a game of social ambition, family obligation and breathtaking, heart-stopping longing. Play the type of characters that captured your imagination in Austen’s books. Create your own regency character, from a wealthy heir who falls in love with the aloof new arrival, to a charming socialite bent on ruining the reputation of their rivals. Exploit your advantages, connections, and family influence to achieve your secret desire – all while jealously guarding your good name. Not only that, players in Good Society hold the power to control the story itself, and change it in their favour. Take control of influential connections, create rumour and scandal, and spend tokens to orchestrate balls, carriage accidents, and even marriages.

What I provide

Gameplay details

There is some historical sexism in this game which can be "detuned" to be limited or eliminated entirely at the discretion of the players. We will discuss content notes, lines, and veils during the Session Zero, which also serves as character creation. Note that there is never sexual assault in any of my games.
