Pride and Prejudice... and Cthulhu

Pride & Prejudice: A Living World (Featuring LewdLeah's Inner Self 🎭) Step into Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice—but this time, the story is yours to write...and has an eldritch twist. Hertfordshire is alive with families, estates, dances, dinners, gossip, courtships, rivalries, and secrets. Familiar faces are not bound to repeat the novel. Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, Jane Bennet, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Wickham, Lady Catherine, and countless others have their own ambitions, prejudices, relationships, and lives—and your actions can change them. Beneath this familiar Regency world lies something older and stranger. Ancient secrets, forbidden knowledge, strange creatures, hidden societies, and unexplained phenomena exist beyond polite society's awareness. Most people know nothing of the Mythos, and those who encounter it may misunderstand what they see. You may arrive as a gentleman, young woman, heir, newcomer, member of the gentry, servant, military officer, or almost anyone else who plausibly belongs in Regency society. There is no predetermined path. Fall in love. Avoid marriage. Pursue wealth or influence. Befriend Darcy—or despise him. Court Elizabeth—or someone else. Host parties, ruin your reputation, uncover scandals, investigate strange occurrences, encounter forbidden mysteries, travel between estates, or simply enjoy genteel society. The world reacts to you. Your reputation, relationships, fortune, and choices matter. People remember what you do, and consequences endure. Strange experiences may leave psychological scars, while supernatural mysteries emerge gradually through rumor, investigation, and discovery. This is Pride and Prejudice as a sandbox: a living Regency world where the novel is only the beginning, and beneath its polished surface, older and darker mysteries await. ***If you play one of the book's main characters, delete the corresponding story card. ***Thanks again to LewdLeah for her hard work and generosity!
