Game Concept and Pitch

First, the characters are a group, not necessarily a team. The players can pick a location (city or town) they like, but the characters have to choose to be together.

The group work for a rich, well to do, philanthropist, merchant in one of the larger cities of England. He is the Organizer.

Jobs will be, for the most part, driven by the characters and what they want to accomplish. Though maybe half the time, those in need will come to the Organizer for help, and he'll ask you to provide it.

The Theme of the game is a pretty standard low tech, low mana, fantasy adventure. But with a secret. There is magic, and only a few people know it. Think Robin Hood, just people, mostly humans, living their lives as they did on earth. But with this secret, that is as powerful as nuclear weapons, and all the major powers out there have secret programs out there to get them and more. Play what feels right, if it feels like Robin Hood; but with that dirty nasty dark secret that people will kill for in the background.

Background

The game will take place in roughly the middle of 12th century earth, a period known as The Anarchy, though a slightly alternate earth. A low to normal mana earth (depending on location), and one where the strange and mythical take place on the edges of civilization. Guilds, and Masons, and nobles, and The Church, monasteries, and of course The Crown all control major portions of day to day life. Everyone is owned by someone else. Except for the players, they've managed to stand up for themselves, bow down to no one, and keep their good name.

The group are the lowest level of associates working for the Organizer, so it is up to them if they want to have a specialization, or be generalists. But nature tends to punish the specialist.

The iron triangle is called such, because between London, Paris, and Toledo there is a shadow war for control, or at least primacy, in the acquisition of arcane knowledge and spells. Particularly rituals. Alchemy is known, but is generally weak. Magic items are virtually never heard of, but are known to exist. Martial skill, cunning, and even some good craftsmanship will go a long ways.
