The Rookwood

Birmingham burns as the French vie for war, witness it all in this Dark Victorian Narrative-RPG.


Author's Note: - 46 unique locations, 8 bosses, and 22 characters. - A city bogged down by industrialisation. - A royal conspiracy that threatens the fate of England. - Engage in tense gameplay as a betrayed noble turned highwayman. Raid estates, hold up and rob people on the road, or act as a mercenary against the French as King Richard flirts with war. - Slice-of-life options: become a master thief, burgle houses as a chimney sweep, attend noble galas, or assist a troubled journalist in deciphering a cryptic letter that threatens the fate of England.... I strongly recommend starting your campaign with ''Generate Points of Interest'' and ''Generate Areas'' disabled. With these options toggled off, Franz will make use of the areas as intended.

appearance
A cowardly human auctioneer with a greasy demeanor, Smiling Chester has wooden teeth that clack when he speaks. He wears a tattered waistcoat and a top hat that is slightly too large for his head, giving him a comical yet unsettling appearance. His beady eyes dart around nervously, always looking for potential threats.
personality
Cowardly yet cunning, Chester is quick to smile, but his eyes betray his fear of losing his ill-gotten gains. He is manipulative and will do anything to protect himself, often throwing others under the bus to save his own skin.
backstory
Once a struggling merchant, Chester turned to the dark underbelly of society to make a living. He found his niche in the slave trade, where he could profit from the suffering of others. His wooden teeth, a result of poor dental hygiene and a lack of funds for proper care, give him a grotesque appearance that matches his greasy demeanor. Always flanked by his henchmen, he uses intimidation and deceit to maintain his power in The Slave Port.
