The Lion and the Serpent

Following the success of the Dragon Rising Sequence, the six-game Ars Magica sequence of freeforms completed in late 1996, Machiavelli Games is proud to announce the The Lion and the Serpent which began with the Levantine Tribunal of 1187, the first in the sequence of games. The Levant will now be followed by games set in the Thebes Tribunal, Transylvania, The Rhine and finally, an Eastern Regional Extraordinary Tribunal, set in 1204.

As a caveat here at the beginning of the process, we would point out that some of the characters of the Lion and Serpent sequence, are designed as displaying attitudes of racism, intolerance and bigotry.
We would point out now, just to cover ourselves, that the attitudes displayed by these characters in no way represent the beliefs or views of their writers. That will perhaps serve as a hint as to some of the darker aspects of this sequence.

It is intended, once the sequence is underway, to run the games probably at four to six month intervals, depending on pressure of work and speed of writing.

Other Projects:

Still on the back burner at present is the Space: 1889 freeform from Gavin Hutchinson.
In February we saw one of Machiavelli Games's most energetic members, Morgan Nash, and the rest of the Gestalt Entity present Dead of Winter, the third in a continuing sequence of Ravenloft-based games. The next in this sequence will be in the Drow dominated realms.

In mid December last year, Mortal Wombat presented the Feast of All Souls, a Vampire-based game set in Victorian London of 1888. Ian was personally involved with this project and can say it was quite simply excellent. There will be more from Mortal Wombat in the near future
The whole freeform is available for those interested, contact them via Email if you are interested in being as shocked as we all were on meeting Ramosa of Thebes...

Paul Carolan's sequence of Mage games will continue into 1998, probably sited in Newport, and will hopefully see a triumphant return for the Sons of Ether, the finest Reality Engineers around.contact him via - Email

We are unlikely to be thanked for this, but there are rumours (quiet rumours, but rumours nevertheless) of a forthcoming combination LRP/Freeform game from Paul White (better known to the whole universe as Chalkie) and Debbie Gallagher. News on this is sketchy, and I will present more info as I get it.

Anyone with news of other freeform games upcoming, be they MG or otherwise, please contact Ian via Email and he will get the information updated herein!
