Space 1889

#1 Post by BackworldTraveller »

Sir Quentin Klipbrook, OBE had acquired many estates and properties on Earth and Mars. His unexpected (and suspicious) death has left his friends concerned, his associates perplexed, and the company of solicitors appointed as executors with a nightmare for probate!

The characters will need to unravel Sir Quentin's unconventional life, loves and world-spanning business affairs.

Action will begin in London in Jan 1889 as interested parties, paid agents of the solicitors, etc. gather at Sir Quentin's London Home - On Queen Anne Street.

Each character will be hand created by the player using the original 1988 rules. (A summary will be provided for creation purposes)

Minimum players: 3
Action reviews (Main thread): 1-2 posts per week
Discussions (OOC): As required

I've owned, lost and reacquired Space 1889, I think it's a great setting, but I've never actually played it.

Unfortunately, I fear I'm overcommitted to games as it is, so I think I may have to pass on this opportunity.

Oh! I've still got a copy of Space 1889! I have no recollection of whether or not it was a good ruleset, but I loved the setting too much not to hang onto it!

Please sign me up!
