Subaltern

A magically real, espionage RPG in an alternate history of the 19th century, set on the fictional South Atlantic colony of Bailen Island and its largely unknown continent Umbra. Houses of industry and trade battle for political and economic control of Bailen's main city, Ecumene, while a colonial war continues to rage just offshore. The game explores colonialism, class conflict, philosophical ethics, memory, and perception.   Co-created by (in alphabetical order): Jessica Creane, Demetri Detsaridis, Sarah Elmaleh, Don Marshall, Myles Nye, and Jay Zupka. Special thanks to Greg Moccia (for creating the Crowden Boys).
