Join
us at the decadent Baroque court of Merry King Charles II of England in
the spring of 1677. At Court just beneath the surface raw ambition
works a rare frenzy in the ongoing struggle for royal favour, wealth and
success. Virtue has given way to libertine licentiousness. Religious
intolerance is the rule, while arts and science are shaped for centuries
to come. Will the new German Queen be able to restore propriety in a
society that has lost its morals? Will the freedom loving Protestant
Parliament triumph over the absolute King Charles Rex? Who will the King
make allies with amidst the fog of war, with the Dutch Republic and
France on his doorstep?
You are the ruthless villain who thwarts
others as you climb to the top as one of the King's ministers. You are a
mistress, who knows that who has the King's ear and sceptre is often
more important than who has his seal and office. You are the King's spy,
employing a wicked goatee or a fanciful fan. You are the noble hero who
resists the wanton and corrupt ways of court. You are among the first
female playwrights and poets. You are a dedicated scientist seeking
advancement in the Royal Society alongside Newton. You are the Jesuit
conspirator who seeks the downfall of England for the glory of the
Catholic Church. You are the society lady, setting the standards of
polite, civilized society with your elegance and grace.
In our
narrative system plots are both staff and character driven. You can go
anywhere, dare anything, as long as you are prepared to deal with the IC
consequences of your actions. We encourage creativity and intersecting
plots and discourage preplanned storylines.
Running since 2006 with original narrative system. Steady. Small. Enjoyable.
