Roleplay game

A play-by-post roleplay game, or RPG, is a system of collaborative story-telling where each person writes their own character or characters, and responds to posts made by other players. Settings and type of characters may vary from game to game.

Show the Colours is a historical RPG set during 1809, with two main settings: on land with the Army, with various different characters in the Second Division and at sea with the Navy aboard a 32-gun frigate, HMS Terpsichore. Played characters represent all different levels found in these settings.
