New: Age of Intrigue (free, open-ended, www, human, historical, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Sat, 03 Jun 2006 19:13:01 +0000 Name: Age of Intrigue Costs: free Email: admin zat ageofintrigue.com URL: http://ageofintrigue.com Type: PBP alternate history Last-Update: 2006May30 Keywords: free, open-ended, www, human, historical, rpg Description: In 1675, London was a dark and dangerous city. So too was the court of the "Merry Monarch," Charles II. Restored to the throne years before, after a Puritanical reign of terror, the court has become a hotbed of intrigue and hedonism. While Whitehall Palace sparkles in grandeur and opulance, and the age of science and art are reborn, beneath the surface of such tranquility lies the fact that courtiers plot the downfall of each other when not otherwise engaged in libertine conduct, religious intolerance is about to explode, Parlimentarians plot sedition in nearby taverns, gangs of thugs roam the alleys of the city, and assassins are said to stalk the very hallways of the palace. Into this world you will venture to participate in the intrigues of the time. Will you be driven by political ambition? Adventure? Romance? Or will you join countless others in living for the moment, whatever that might mean to you. This is a mature, moderated, play-by-post game of palace politics. Colorful characters are created with strengths and weaknesses. Although it is based on actual history, we will deviate from it quite a bit. It is a select game open to a small group of excellent and committed writers. We have openings from time to time and you are encouraged to visit us at Ageofintrigue.com [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
