Echo Bazaar is a social game (twitter and faceboo), that I've been playing a lot of recently, give me a shout if you also happen to play. just for reference, here's link http://echobazaar.failbettergames.com

Allright, how to explain Echo Bazaar? Well, its a storydriven roleplaying game with a simple game mechanic, every challenge is resolved by a challenge against one of your skills, like rolling a dice and adding your bonuses. This makes for an interesting game that doesnt have to rely on combats, this mechanic works just as well for winning a philosophical debate or dechyphering some odd grafitti. A typical story goes sorta like this: http://blog.failbettergames.com/ima.....2FPicture2.jpg

The main draw of the game is the very insane neovictorian dark fantasy world it creates. For my character, Jack Owlfisher, I'm mainly training his watchful skill, and those missions tend to give the character Nightmares if you fail, so as a result he goe trough periods where he's mad as a brass button, hence why this image depicts him as a little... sanity impaired...
