Romance. Scandal. Manners. Welcome to Good Society, the Jane Austen Tabletop Roleplaying Game.

This is the Base Set (Hardcover + Cards) of Good Society: A Jane Austen Roleplaying Game.

Along with the Hardcover and Physical Cards, it includes a PDF version of Good Society, and PDF copies of the Secret Desire and Relationship cards, and Deck of Connections.

Good Society is a collaborative roleplaying game that seeks to capture the heart, and the countenance, of Jane Austen’s work. It is a game of balls, estates, sly glances, and turns about the garden. At least on the surface. Underneath this, just as in Austen’s own novels, it is a game of social ambition, family obligation and breathtaking, heart-stopping longing.

In this game, you play the type of characters that captured your imagination in Austen’s books – from a wealthy heir who falls in love with the aloof new arrival, to a charming socialite bent on ruining the reputation of their rivals. Exploit your advantages, connections, and family influence to achieve your secret desire – all while jealously guarding your good name.
