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 disheveled human guardsman with ginger hair, wearing tattered period gentleman's clothing that is stained and rumpled. His eyes are bloodshot, and he carries a flask at his side, often taking swigs from it. His demeanor is rough, with a scruffy beard and a scar running down his cheek.
personality
Gideon is brash and reckless, often making decisions under the influence of alcohol. He possesses a dark sense of humor and a fierce loyalty to those he considers friends, but his vengeful nature can lead him to act impulsively.
backstory
Once a proud guardsman, Gideon Blakely was poisoned during a covert operation against French spies, leading to the death of his comrades. Now, fueled by rage and a thirst for revenge, he roams the streets of Eldridge Hollow, seeking to bring justice to those who wronged him, all while drowning his sorrows in drink.
