Good Society: A Jane Austen RPG

Good Society is a collaborative roleplaying game 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.

In this game, you play the type of characters that captured your imagination in Austen’s books – 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.

In the book, you will get:

• Introduction, Setting and How to Play.
• 10 Character Roles, and 8 Family Backgrounds to choose from, each with unique advantages.
• Knowing Austen: A guide to the tropes, settings, characters, and classic moments of regency drama
• Facilitators guide, and instructions for creating your own Secret Desires and Relationships

You will also receive a card deck containing:

• More than 20 Secret Desire and Relationship cards
• 30 Non-Player Gentry cards so you can create important supporting characters with ease
