I’ve recently been struck with an idea for a hack based off of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. The premise is that you play as a magical society in a regency England style world, navigating high society and the Fae Courts via negotiation and information as opposed to combat.

Though the details are still quite foggy, I am planning on having three playbooks:

-The Mage: One who communes with items and spirits and is able to ask favors of them

-The Witch: One who uses elaborate rituals to make forces heed the call of ancient contracts

The Sorcerer: One who imbues items with magical powers, to be called upon later

Mean while your magical society may be:

-Patriots seeking to aid your country in whatever way you can

-Philanthropists who serve the common folk

-Academics searching for lost knowledge

-Upstarts clamoring for power

-A Taskforce brought together to accomplish a single goal
