Description

Carnival Row offers a dark, fantastic world that calls back to the styles and social graces of Edwardian London, in a society still shakily recovering from a conflict that resembles European colonial wars — but with industrialized destruction that resembles World War I. Most games centre around the city of The Burgue, but this one is a little different.

In the past few games, various characters have made alarming discoveries, both in The Burgue, and in towns and villages situated to the North. Now those people are returning (returning players, I hope!) with urgent and alarming news. But the situation in The Burgue is not easy. The city is in upheaval, with tensions growing almost daily between the human population and the Fae. And one dangerous human has been growing in power … Malachi Goodison.

Characters:

You may be someone caught up in the discovery , bringing news to The Burgue (This is probably for returning players who know the back story to this!). Or you are a resident of The Burgue. You can be police, wealthy individual, working class inhabitant. You can be human (not necessarily from The Burgue) or Faerish. Come up with a proposal, and I’ll help you shape it.

Organiser’s Note: This is a re-run of the TirCon2022 game!
