Mystery and Decadence

[jeregenest]

Shanghai, Paris of the East. Shanghai, Whore of the Orient. Shanghai where foreigners carved out concessions and built palatial estates and clubs. The year is 1873 and Shanghai is a city where east meets west and where fortunes are made and lost and new decadences are discovered daily in countless opium dens and gambling joints, in myriad brothels. A city where Chinese, English, French, American mingle uneasily partitioned into Chinese Section, the International Settlement and the French Concession.

This is the city that you make your home. And one eventful September 3rd each of you find yourself in front of one of the most rumored and storied residences in the city. And your lives will never be the same.

As may be guessable, I'm intending to run a sotry of what happens when mostly normal people are caught up in the machinations of the player characters in Tantaene Animis Caelestibus Irae (http://www.innocence.com/games/taci/Main/HomePage), something I've been threatening to do for a while.

This game is inspired by equal parts Han Bangqing and Sax Rohmer.

I have no familiarity whatsoever with Castle Falk, but I'd love to try this.

I'd like to be in on this, but don't know if I'll be able to escape that night. I'll take an "alternate" spot if you don't get enough folks beforehand maybe, and I can confirm after Ali gets back.

Have cards. Will travel.

In. In. In. So goddamn IN.

M says she will be in if you still need somebody, but will wait to see if it fills up.

I think she should count herself in. So I'll make all 8 characters an count on at least 7.

If you are going to make a request folks should probably make them by Monday.
