The Rookwood

F
Fox_

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.

Poacher
Melee

Poacher

The Poacher is a cunning ranged combatant who thrives in the shadows of the wilderness, using traps and early firearms like the Baker and Whitworth rifles to outsmart foes and steal from the rich. With a heart akin to Robin Hood, he fights for the downtrodden, employing stealth and strategy to turn the tide of battle in his favor while leaving no trace of his presence.

Gunslinger
Melee

Gunslinger

The Gunslinger is a master of quick draws and precision shooting, hailing from the American frontier and now navigating the shadowy streets of Victorian England. With a silver tongue for persuasion and unmatched dexterity, they excel in ranged combat, but their reliance on finesse leaves them vulnerable in physical confrontations, making them less resilient than other warriors.

Highwayman
Melee

The Highwayman is a cunning rogue who dons a mask to conceal their identity while exacting vengeance on a society that has wronged them. With a blend of agility, charm, and a flair for theatrics, they strike from the shadows, targeting the wealthy and corrupt, all while rallying the commonfolk to their cause.

Chimney Sweep
Melee

Chimney Sweep

The Chimney Sweep is a cunning rogue who blends into the shadows of Victorian streets, using their disguise to navigate the underbelly of society.

Beefeater
Melee

Beefeater

The Beefeater is a stalwart protector of the streets, skilled in patrolling and keenly observant, able to spot trouble before it brews.
