The Raven adventurers is a Role Playing Game
Everyone plays as either themself (IE, I am 00Kevin, personality is similar to me, but I make him an MI6 agent (like james bond)
or you can make up a character with a new name, new personality, completely origonal
the Idea is that we are spies, assassins, drunks, adventuers and so on who meet at 'the raven bar' in 1930's Nepal (like the one in raiders)
we sometimes hang out at the bar, we sometimes go on adventuers around the world
most people jump right in, but it's usually that they jump in at the raven
tell me the nationality/occupation etc of your character and I'll tell you a good way to jump in
