concept: an austen-inspired tabletop rpg where there are five classes
- single man in possession of a large fortune who is in want of a wife
- young woman with low connections who must marry so that she can secure her future
- cad whose main goal is to convince someone to elope with him
- wealthy, scheming woman whose goal is to ruin the happiness of the aforementioned young woman
- tiresome & vulgar elderly busybody (can be either a man or a woman)
I’m gonna split this out a little farther, because I feel like we’re blurring the lines between classes and stats. First you should pick your Austen class:
- Bachelor/Bachelorette
- Cad / Floozy
- Husband/Wife
- Matriarch/Patriarch
- Busybody
Then you roll for your stats across the 6 basic Abilities:
- Money
- Intelligence
- Connections
- Manners
- Looks
- Snark
10/10 would kickstart
I’ve written this up as a quick-play version! You need a d6, a d20 and 3+ friends who are as into Jane Austen as you are, or at least willing to have a go.
Working title, Sense & Snark-ability.
I’ll make it up into a proper printable with illustrations if I get a chance next week, but in the meantime if anyone wants to playtest it I’d love to know how it goes!
Someone play this with me omfg
