Hello Gamersplaners!
I don't know about you, but I've got the itch for some Burning Wheel.
Prior experience with the system is not required, but is preferred. And a willingness to download, and to read, and to learn as we go (from the Hub and Spokes, it's free), if you're not familiar with it, is required.
Here's what I'm thinking for a "big picture":
And while some of the original residents have benefitted from this growth, most have not. A strange illness has spread through town, and now a pestilence is laying waste to the fields!
As a result, many villagers have taken to worshipping an old and vengeful god, in hopes that it will sooth what they think must surely be Her wrath, for failing to uphold the Old Gods and their old ways more strongly in the face of these changes.
Now there are multiple accounts of a demon stalking the roads and country side, and there is a rapidly growing fear surrounding that.
This once-peaceful and simple town is descending into seeming chaos and madness, what can be done!?The setting would be a low-fantasy, medieval "Euro-ish" world which we would be free to define more. The game would begin with the PCs on the scene of the most recent demon sighting, to investigate.
So those are the circumstances and considerations that should frame your character concepts, Beliefs, and Instincts. I'm thinking Man Stock only, 4 or 5 LPs, Faith, Sorcery, firearms, all allowed and possibly even some content from the Codex?
So yeah, I already have two interested players from another game, anyone else out there want in on something like this?

An agrarian village has been undergoing some rapid and significant changes... An iron mine opened up on the cliffs outside of town perhaps a year ago, and now they've built a foundry within town. This growth has brought in many new residents, and with them many new cultures...And while some of the original residents have benefitted from this growth, most have not.
