A fantasy-themed Council meeting game looking at interpersonal behaviours whilst planning the final assault to overthrow the Dark Lord. The forces of Good have been struggling against the onslaught of the Dark Lord for many years, and, after many reverses, trials and setbacks, finally the tide has turned. A Grand Alliance of Humans, Dwarves, Free Folk and Elves have thrown back the Hordes of the Dark Lord, back to the lair of that master of Evil in the famous (and feared) Warlock Castle in the land of Daunt.

After death you emerged from the river, your memory shot to pieces, in the city of the dead. Unlock your memories. Choose your path. Decide the future of the afterlife.", designer: "Stuart Martyn", fullDescription: `You died. After death you emerged from the river, your memory shot to pieces, in the city of the dead. The Necropolis is a bizarre city. Everything here – even the objects - is a ghost, a memory. The buildings that stand here all collapsed into rubble on Earth. Modern skyscrapers stand alongside Gothic cathedrals and earthwork huts. Souls walks the patchwork streets dressed in rags, tee-shirts, ballgowns and clanking metal armour. For longer than most souls can remember, the Silent King sat upon his throne in an ancient tower at the heart of the city. The Silent King was a distant and feared ruler with the power to strip away the memories of his subjects. Under his regime fragments of memory and self became a form of currency. But now the Silent King has disappeared. His throne lies vacant and many of the dead look upon it with envious or fearful eyes. In a world without permanent death it is difficult to seize the throne by force. Any claimant must rally support, find a way to win the loyalty of other souls, before they ascend the Throne. Angels and demons lurk on the periphery of the political conflict, empowering those who accept their gifts. Most of the poorest souls are now little more than shells of what they once were, engaged in their labour or wandering listlessly through the streets. With the King’s demise, souls have noticed some of their memories returning to them. These memories bring the purpose some yearn for and unlock the power craved by others. The fight for the Throne is something many have little interest in; with the Silent King gone, perhaps the afterlife can change in more than just political terms. Perhaps there are other ways to live after death. Unlock your memories. Choose your path. Decide the future of the afterlife.`, type: "Play-By-Email", }, { "_id": "DC20210727", "name": "Dusk City By Night", "date": { "year": 2021, "month": 5, "day": 16 }, "endDate": { "year": 2021, "month": 7, "day": 16 }, "designer": "Kyle Tinga", "preamble": "Once, you lived in slumber, existing idly among the masses without any understanding of the truths of the world.

But you were chosen, snatched from the threshold between life and death, given the secrets to eternal life and an ever-present hunger in your soul. You have joined the ranks of the Awakened - immortals with powers far beyond human understanding, weakened in sunlight and bound in blood, pursued by the eternal spectre of the creature known as HIM. You and your brethren coexist in an uneasy truce, battle lines drawn in ideology instead of violence. Some believe in power and dominance over humanity, banding together to create a world for the Awakened. Some have made it their calling to shepherd mankind, believing themselves truly just in their manipulations. Some wish to coexist peacefully with the Unawakened, stifling the hunger that gnaws incessantly within them. And some walk their own path, beholden to no gods or masters. By purpose or coincidence you have found yourself in the City of Doxley, hiding from the ever-watchful eye of HIM. It is a place of darkened alleyways and shattered dreams, of haves living gated lives, separated from have nots. A place ripe for the picking. On these streets, human life lacks meaning to the Awakened, valuable only as a commodity, fuel for the ceaseless hunger of their kin, pawns in games of deceit. Yet hope blossoms even in the smallest of places. Mankind has risen up, their hopes and dreams rising with them, ushering in a new age where your kind may no longer be needed. Of course, as all things grow, so must all things change. The Keeper of the city, your guardian and protector, has announced his intent to relinquish his position. There is a ripple of unease in each of you, a realization that without the Keeper HE may soon arrive at your doorstep. It is imperative the Land be protected, imperative that one of us is bound as its Keeper so that many will survive. The highest honor an Awakened may have, and the greatest sacrifice they shall undertake. A Selection must be initiated. A worthy successor must be found. Fight for the right to be the city’s protector, or aid in the quest to find one suitable for the task. Gain Influence by resolving society’s ills or benefit from its decline. Feed the beast within, or deny it. Forge valuable bonds that may make or break you. And, above all things, remember that you are not the only one who sees what you are in the dark. `, "type": "Play-By-Email" }, { "_id": "GW20211017", "name": "Gods' Wars", "date": { "year": 2021, "month": 10, "day": 17 }, "endDate": { "year": 2021, "month": 12, "day": 12 }, "designer": "Steph Rothman", "preamble": "You are a demigod, competing against others in Victorian London during the 1880 season to impress the Olympian gods and win Ascension to Godhood.", "fullDescription": `You are a demigod, a child of one of the Olympian Gods, invited to London to compete in the Gods’ Wars. With what you assume is a little bit of divine intervention, your dream job and lodgings are conveniently available there for you to easily relocate and participate. The Gods’ Wars- a competition among demigods in which the winners become Gods themselves- have been run countless times across countless worlds, with countless themes. Demigods have intervened to rig elections, intercede in succession crises, start wars, and more! This time, the Olympians of the Greek pantheon are hosting it and the theme is love. It is the start of the season in (near) London 1880. People are scrambling to find love and acquire proposals from the most eligible members of society. Attend balls and other social events, and romance and befriend mortals and demigods alike. However, in order to Ascend, demigod participants must please the Gods. The Gods are fickle and varied. Some may urge war, others peace, and still others, love. In order to truly understand and satisfy them, you will have to develop relationships with them and score points in their Aspect. Aspects suggested by this year’s Godly spectators include Bonding, Justice, Arts, Sporting, Scholarship, Pugilism, Fabrication, Balance, Trickery, and Hedonism. Complete Quests for specific Gods or take other actions related to these Aspects and win their favor.
