AU$ 46,703 clearly SOMEONE wants this game. Not something I'm interested in.

I love Jane Austen's works. But I'm just not sure it would work well as a RPG. Thoughts? Why not? I mean all you need is a mechanic that measures succes by the influence you get over another character, rather than how much you hurt them. Or hurt them physically I mean. Obviously hurting them emotionally could be part of the game

I can't frigging wait for this. The game will be HILARIOUS. I think it'd be very hard to run seriously.

I'm in. And I don't even like Jane Austen. But I love game designs which emulate weird things, and I've heard great things from people I relatively trust about this game. And I'm a hippie.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Should he acquire one, he shall receive 100 xp.

You've heard of Dungeons and Dragons? What about Pride and Prejudice? Sense and Sensibility?
That's right... after 200 years we're FINALLY getting the alliteratively-named RPG we've really wanted!
I mean really, who here hasn't wanted to do Wuthering Heights instead of Tomb of Horrors? It's about time!

Someone on another message board I frequent said this could be like VtM, but without the V.

According to the podcast Season 21, episode 8, we might be getting an AP of this! XD
