Season of Shadows - A Regency Story (WIP) UPDATED 30 Apr [Prologue + Chapter One, 81K words]

Cataphrak talked to me in the Politics thread the one time I posted there. I was intimidated, which is so silly :laughing: I won’t lie, I felt really flattered when you posted here too.

Your choice is excellent. Lancelot is very important in this story. But I’ll say no more, before I start giving away plot.

Anyway, I’m off to bed. Good night @girlfromthecrypt and @LiliArch and everyone else <3

I don’t know where I was when this demo dropped but I love this! It’s very fun so far. I’m pleased that I will be able to play a variety of characters. I do seem to get dancing proficiency when I said I was talented at languages though?

Looking forward to learning what happened in Spain.

Has the MC sold his commission to pay his father’s debts yet?

MC was actually in the navy. This is a change I made recently (so the edit doesn’t show yet), for historical accuracy because there are no good land battles involving Britain in 1804 - 1805 when MC served! Or none that my research dug up. So there’s no commission to sell. (Beetle MC’s father’s debts are so bad that it wouldn’t have made much of a difference anyhow…)

@furyleika I was quite lax with the stats in the prologue, I’ll fix it! Thank you!

Even better, the Navy is cooler. Presumably he’d still be a Lieutenant on half-pay then? Half-pay would make next to 0 difference for such large debts, unfortunately.
