The Clockwork Cafe

Written and run by Brian Williams

Saturday, October 15th 7pm-Midnight

Registration now open! 

It’s 1905. On the shores of Lake Geneva stands the exclusive Clockwork Café. Run by the enigmatic Richard Blanc, it doubles as the secret meeting place of the Society of Lady and Gentleman Adventurers of Geneva. Here the spies, adventurers, master-criminals and detectives of the Great European Powers meet on neutral territory to exchange tales of daring-do. 1905 is a time of upheaval in Europe. There are revolutions and rumours of revolution; fears that conflict between the Great Powers will plunge the world into global war. There are also whisperings of plots and counter-plots and of strange events from all across the continent.

The world is slightly different from our own, one where fantastic events can happen and where world-changing events are taking place. The clockwork engine is a reality and is rapidly supplanting steam-power as a main energy source in the way that the internal combustion engine did in our own history. Prototypes of clockwork-powered airships and clockwork automatons have already been seen. Across the ocean in America there are reports of vast factories ready to produce a new generation of clockwork machines.

In the early days of the 20th Century, the world is set to change forever.

Yes, once again, Someone has twisted Someone Else's arm, and Brian is returning to Chicago to run another of his games. We've heard great things about this game, and are looking forward to playing Intrepid Adventurers, etc., in a clockwork-technology universe.

[FF note: hmmm, it looks like Steampunk, it smells like Steampunk, it sounds like Steampunk, but Brian's not calling it Steampunk. However, he admits that he doesn't know what Steampunk is. We know what WE'RE assuming.]
