Welcome toHeart of the Republic

We are a 21+ 3/3/3 historical collaborative writing game set in provocative Paris during the Third Republic.

A generation has passed since Haussmann's grand redesign carved the medieval heart out of Paris, but the scars remain. The poor have been pushed to the periphery while the grand boulevards shine over buried ruins. After two lavish universal expositions (and a third on the horizon), a new kind of Parisian emerges: artists, radicals, and mystics are drawn to what the city hides behind its façades. Paris is coiled tight in the throes between old and new. The city has never been more modern—or more afraid.

With anarchist bombings and the recent assassination of the president, "villainous laws" and legal homosexuality, HOTR promises to be explosive and indulgent.

We fight for what we want. We fight for what we deserve.

Vive la République
