Writing Setting Blurbs

[RandomCitizenX]

So I checked out your page. How about this for a rough draft:

You hate them.
The wealthy have power, joy and near immortality.
You toil in the grime of the mills and barely have enough to eat.
They have everything and you have nothing.
But one day all that will change.

You hate them.
The poor are the cancer of this city.
They are disease ridden beggars constantly causing unrest.
They want to take a piece of everything you've worked so hard to achieve.
But one day that will change.

Play a freedom fighter, an uncaring businessman, or a bedraggled millworker bent on revenge. Will you change the city, or will the city change you?

Urbanis: roleplaying in the burgeoning industrial urban age.

Well this blurb sold me on the setting. Definitely makes the setting provocative and unique.

Seconded.

If you are familiar with Perdido Street Station, you may want to present your setting in a way which conveys the following:

- education of the masses,
- socialism (and/or lack of social care/public health service),
- industrial revolution, pollution and lack of spiritual guidance,
- scientific progress and extinction of magical creatures.

Thanks guys *blush*

To the OP. If you like it too, you can have it, and either keep it as is or modify it to your heart's content.
