This game is set in its own game world, a possible future of the Continuing Game during the equivalent of the Victorian Era, in the year 1484 A.I. The PCs will be passengers aboard an Allondine lighter-than-air dirigible on its maiden voyage. The dirigible, ordinarily intended for military reconnaissance, will be carrying civilian passengers from Tolbury to Gioma as a public relations maneuver. Some passengers may be dignitaries or influential people given tickets by Her Majesty's government; others will be from all walks of life who won their tickets via the general lottery. Please download the Player Packet; it contains information about character creation and the Iron & Lace setting.

Owing to the event site, the game will feature only abstracted (e.g. rock-paper-scissors) combat, so you will not need to worry about running or fighting in your good costuming. And don't worry about finding appropriate period garb; if you own just a dress shirt/blouse and a pair of slacks or long skirt, you'll be fine. (More costuming tips to come in the player packet!)

This game will feature snacks and drinks, but not a full meal.

For more information, please contact GMs Heather Albano Jackson and Jeff Yaus at ironandlace. You must be 18 years or older to participate in this (or any) Quest event.
