About this Event
This month we’re going back in time to the Regency Era! 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.
Play a member of regency society, 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.
Good Society is a unique system that allows you to take control of influential connections, create rumour and scandal, and spend tokens to orchestrate balls, carriage accidents, and even marriages.
No prior experience is necessary. All participants will be sent a quick start guide in advance explaining the rules of the system in an easy to learn format. Pre-made characters will be provided.
Warning this game may include themes of:
- Sexism

- Racism

These issues may naturally arise as a result of playing a regency era game however they will be avoided wherever possible. If players seem fixated on a particular issue then they may be taken aside and the issue addressed. Out of character reference to these issues will be considered inappropriate and may result in your removal from the premises.
A safeguarding system will be in place that players can use, without judgment, to pause and redirect play during the game.
