Just an extra note about the background to my Karse game.

It is set in 1917, because in 1619 the city falls to a Lunar invasion. the city is besieged by the army, but the city finaly falls when a lunar force arrives by sea from Corflu and breaks into the city through the port.

The PCs in my game are Lunar spies sent to the city. They pretend to be merchants and ambassadors, but their real job is to find the best ways to capture the city, and recruit allies inside the city to help capture it.

How the city actualy falls to the Lunars in my game will depend partly on what the player characters do.

I have several plots, some of which I have written in the plots document, but some of which is still just in my head. Karse is built on top of an ancient troll underground city built by the Only Old One and sealed up by the Pharaoh. A small tribe of scorpion people have broken into part of the old troll city. Now that the Pharaoh is dead, some trolls want to go back into their old city. The PCs can become allies of the trolls or the scorpion people.

The game has been running for 6 sessions, but there is still a lot for the players to do.

Simon
