Dream It

The Setting

The year is 1803 and Lady Elinor Davenport is throwing her yearly ball. Every eligible young lady, gentleman, and dandy will be there. However, everything isn’t what it seems, and rumors of war are stirring on the horizon. Hidden identities, forbidden romances, intrigue, courtship, gossip, and secrets abound in this game set in Regency-era England. Build dance cards, discover mysteries, negotiate allowances, and slight old rivals. No happy ending ever did come easy. Dancing will be instructed by a professional caller. Join us for a chance to play a role in your own Jane Austen novel!

The Characters

The focus of this game will be on providing an emotionally charged, immersive Regency experience where each character gets to be the main character of their own novel. The tone will be in keeping with Jane Austen’s novels and Bridgerton- meaning that while there will be some darker plots, scandals, and intrigue, mostly heroes will get happy endings and villains will get appropriately punished. 

Each character is loosely inspired by one (or more!) characters from various appropriate works. They may have some of those original connections, but they have been renamed and may not know who the other ‘characters’ from their works are. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy may end up with completely different people though it is also possible they will find each other.

Characters will be written and provided to players with room for custom-tailoring, complete with families, character connections, etc. Players will have a period of time where they can network online, though the goal is to have this NOT be required and entirely optional. Networking will be done through a discord server, link to be provided after ticket sales.
