Historical Universes is a multi-period, multi-game historical RPG, which means we have multiple role playing games all on one board, all historical!
Historical Universes was conceived and created because we noticed, as drivers, that we come across many of the same people in historical RPGs and would love to have those fantastic RPers all in one place! For people who are crazy about RPing and love history.
Our plan was simple: start out with a few different games and expand as we go along and gain members. We are opening with the Borgia Papacy, Charles I (right before the English Civil War), and Louis XIV and his Musketeers. The Borgias board will be more focused on intrigue, poisonings, bribery, sexuality in Rome and greater Italy in 1501. The Charles I board will be more focus one courtly life, religious and political upheaval, the beginnings of civil war in the 1640s in England. The Louis XIV board (1660) will be heavily focused on the lower levels of court nobility and gentry with Musketeers, actors, musicians, ladies in waiting, etc, with a smattering of nobility and lots of opulent parties (think lots of art and performances crossed with swashbuckling).
*TUDORS GAME OPENED AND RUNNING WITH OVER 15 CHARACTERS ALREADY!!!*
It doesn't end there. In the coming weeks we plan to open Charles II (The Restoration), Valois France (Louis XII to run alongside Henry VIII), and Ramses II Egypt! We have other dastardly and exciting secret plans as well, but you'll have to join to find out about those in the coming weeks!
