Machiavelli Games is a writing collective for Freeform games;
roleplaying games played live, over an extended period (usually an
evening or two) where the players actually act out the parts of the
characters physically, interacting with each other and finding their
way through the tortuous political and moral maze the writers have
constructed for them to explore.
Machiavelli Games have
existed as an entity since early 1993 and have had a fair turnover of
members in it's time. Currently the writers number 10, and a more
devious and twisted bunch it would be hard to imagine.
Our events
have proved popular in the past, with our Magnum Opus, the 1228 Grand
Tribunal, based on the Ars Magica roleplaying system, catering for 110
players over the course of three days at a hired stately home in
central England.
Whilst MG's games in the past have primarily been based around the
Ars Magica system, we have had a hand in or been associated with
several other games; the Mortal
Wombat collective, who write live games for the Vampire system,
number several Machiavellians in their ranks, and additionally,
several other games based on various backgrounds (Space: 1889, AD&D,
The Babylon Project, to name but a few) and several historical and
pseudo-historical settings are currently in the works - for more
information, see "Forthcoming
Events". |
