1788. A clear evening in late summer. The year as a whole has been unusually dry. England is at peace, at least temporarily. Rumbles of revolution are stirring in France. Prime Minister William Pitt (sometimes called “the Younger,” to distinguish him from his father, who bears the same name) and Parliament are wrangling over the threat of Russian expansion, as the Tsar seems destined to triumph in his war with the Sultan, threatening the balance of power. A prison colony has been established in the fabled continent of Australia. The Daily Universal Register has changed its name to The Times. The Marylebone Cricket Club has published the revised Laws of Cricket. There are rumors that King George III is not entirely in his right mind, although he remains beloved by his subjects, who admire him as a good family man, devoted to his wife and children. But you have other concerns . . .
Ghastly Affair is a role-playing game of Romantic Horror created by Daniel James Hanley. In this very loose adaptation of this system, players may choose to be Mad Scientists, Magicians, Grave Robbers, Gypsies, Libertines, True Innocents, Demon Hunters, Bandits, or even Ordinary Persons.
Making one’s way through the complex rituals of society, from the stately manors of aristocrats to the low dives of criminals, is as challenging as surviving supernatural monsters and the diabolical schemes of the wicked. Along the way you may even fall in love!
