From Introduction: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of a love for Austen novels, must be in want of the means to create such stories for themselves. In pursuit of that very end, we created Good Society, a collaborative roleplaying game that captures the heart, and the countenance, of Jane Austen's work. Good Society is a game of balls, estates, sly glances, and turns about the garden. At least, on the surface. Underneath this, just as Austen’s own work, it is a game of social ambition, family obligation and breathtaking, heart-stopping and deeply repressed longing. Most importantly, Good Society is built to tell the story you’ve always wanted to tell. It’s a deeply customisable game, and while the setting and structure remain the same, its tone and content are sculpted by the group before and during play, so that every game is different. This is a Quickstart version of the game. It contains only one recommended playset, and only a small fraction of the character roles, family backgrounds,and secret desires available in the full game. It is designed for play over 1 or 2 sessions. Rules for extended play, and character arcs and development, have not been included. Similarly,while we have playtested extensively, not all the rules you will find here are final, and we hope to improve the game even further (and include a lot more examples in the final text).
