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.
