Reboot: Interesting Times [FR]

The year is 1789 and the Bastille has just been stormed. History will show that it was a revolutionary raid to free political prisoners, but the truth is far more shocking and fantastic. The storming of the Bastille was the opening move in a secret war for power that lasted until Napoleon Bonaparte deposed the Directory in November 1799. One of the major players of this struggle was Maximilian Robespierre, an early proponent of Chaos Magic, whose forces staged the raid on the infamous prison in order to recover powerful artifacts hidden there by the French Clergy. Many saw the chaos in France as a chance to execute grabs for power. The loyal Vampire minions of Vladimir Tepes Dracula are active and so is the mysterious Illuminated Order.

Robespierre gathers his minions...

Into this turbulent time came an enigmatic figure known only as Ulysses, a man who wields vast power, but seeks to free France from the evil that would overwhelm it. Thus are The Heroes of the Revolution born; a team of criminals, legends and iconoclasts who are destined to be the world's first Superheroes. A great, and mostly unseen conflict erupted in the secret, magic places of France for the next decade, forging the destiny of the world in a way that few would ever know. The Nineteenth Century would be born of the struggle between Robespierre, Dracula, The Illuminated Order [THE ILLUMINATED ORDER DOES NOT EXIST>YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ILLUMINATED ORDER] and the small band of heroes trying to stop them from destroying everything.

In terms of games, the French Revolution era is intended to be a mini-campaign, with four factions vying for supremacy. There will be a series of magical artifacts that provide in-game power-ups and each victory or defeat will effect the games that come afterwards. Unlike some of the other eras I'm working on, I really need to get everything done before I start playing the games. I'm hoping to maybe interest some players by having a narrative campaign and interesting miniatures ready to go. I'm still about ten minis away from having everything I need, let alone the painting, but now at least I can share some of the work I have done with you.
