This is a hybrid RPG-card game, revolving around social interaction
and intrigue. Its germ lies in an interesting post on cross-
generational gameplay on www.rpg.net. I wrote the rules to
capture the ruthless scheming of courtly politics, with explicit
rules for creating subsequent generations of characters. I also
wrote the rules with play-by-post or play-by-email in mind, as
this form of gaming is becoming the norm for many gamers, but
the RPG industry hasn't quite risen to the task of designing
interesting games for email and Internet play.

A game set in historical Britain c. 536 AD.
I am developing this game as a PBeM in the style of Risk or
Diplomacy.
I've put together a working map for the game.
