The City of Masks, or Çità de Masca (ÇdM) is a play-by-post (p-b-p), historical fiction roleplaying forum about Venice, circa 1574, during the Italian Renaissance when all of Italy was changing... and so the world, where stories about normal lives, loves, intrigue, mystery, conspiracy, corruption, instability... courtesans, honored and lower class... greed and abuse of religious power... and government cover-ups were never so appealing... even with the stories of **Sala Consiglio dei Dieci** (*Trial Chambers of the Council of Ten*), where Venice’s "Star Chamber" plots anonymous accusations of treason... as innocent victims, as well as the guilty, reside in the Pozzi (prison)...
And to alleviate the fear of unfamiliarity with Venice, Italy, or Europe, you need not know the history, for there are story information readily available at a fingertip to aid you, should you desire. But... you should know that...
Tis the heart of society, its order and organization, its pomp and ceremony, its places of frenzied domestic activities, its hospitality, celebration, and pleasures, is rivaled by the underlying skullduggery of those who’d seek her downfall... all perpetrated by a criminal underworld who shall profit either way. Our site is filled with dramatic and adventurous sub-plots, both individually and collectively, about the fictional setting of Venezia and the burgeoning Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta (Serene Venetian Republic).
All I can say is just "please take a look at Çità de Masca (ÇdM)" Our membership is growing, but we could always use YOU.... We always need more writers, any level or experience... and yes, its still a good opportunity to be in on the ground floor of this site.

Presenting Çità de Masca ... the illusory, grand city of Venezia, that fabulous mercantile capital of Europe, and the heart of the Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta. Tis the City of Canals, circa 1574, amongst the Italian Renaissance, instead of declining as history would show, she is one of the mightiest naval empires in the world seeking her power as Queen of the Seas, not only in the Middle Sea, but into the Atlantic.
Where La Serenissima whispers, working like a spell, conjuring up the Dream; a beautiful city, floating over grey shimmering water, like a butterfly spreading its wings upon a darken lagoon; her only saving grace is the mirroring of marble palaces of wealth... All the while, her cold waters clutch the very heart of the city through intricate labyrinthine arteries and junctions with dark gondolas sliding beneath bridges, or sculling down darker, narrower canals...
The heart of society, its order and organization, its pomp and ceremony, its places of frenzied domestic activities, its hospitality, celebration, and pleasures, is rivaled by the underlying skullduggery of those who’d seek her downfall... all perpetrated by a criminal underworld who shall profit either way.
In the distance, Church bells toll to the devout to gather, to learn, to be pious... praying over holy bones and booty from Crusades to save their souls; But, as Christianity with its religious doctrine and spirituality, those scarlet-clad administrators, have betrayed it multiple times over with their greed and abuse of religious power.
Plus we are incorporating the *Spooky* side of Venice and yes, even Witches & Witchcraft as well...
Ah yes...And government cover-ups were never so appealing as in the Sala Consiglio dei Dieci (Trial Chambers of the Council of Ten).... where Venice’s star chamber plots anonymous accusations of treason... as innocent victims, as well as the guilty, reside in the Pozzi...

What is Çità de Masca
Çità de Masca (ÇdM) is a play-by-post (p-b-p)[/i] roleplaying forum with the possibility to chat rp[/i] in order to build an amalgamation of ideas and concepts leading to an exciting fictional story filled with dramatic and adventurous sub-plots, both individually and collectively, about the fictional setting of Venezia and the burgeoning Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta.
What is the plot of Çità de Masca
ÇdM is in a fictional setting based on the illusory grand city of Venezia and the Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta in the latter part of an alternate Italian Renaissance, circa 1570s A.D., where its pinnacle on being a world power has not yet been fulfilled.
And besides our main PLOT, here are some suggestions for other possibilities: Suggestions for Sub-Plots
[align=center][/align]
What types of Characters and/or Creatures are allowed???
Humans (Patricians / Non-Patrician Citizens / Merchants (local / foreign) / Poor / Criminal / Immigrants / Foreign Visitors) and basic Earth animals typical of the 16th century; but the fiction setting and alternate historical period allows its own low-to-mild mysticism involved, so who knows what could appear.
What is it WE want?
[align=center]We Want You ! We Want You !! We Want You as a New Recruit !!!![/align]
Yes we do. Tis here that we shall endeavor to write those stories, utilizing written history fact and fiction, rumors, legends, myths, our exposure to other settings of alternative reality, and our collective imaginations to tell the tales of the lives, loves, successes, and failures of the people, the cities, and the islands of the Serene Venetian Republic of the 16th century. Some of our stories about the Queen of the Seas[/b] will occasionally veer outward from Venezia and even span the 16th century known world; but the prime focus is, and always will be, Venezia.
Our intent is to creatively write stories of what life, and the people in it, is like in “La Serenissima” and how she affects the world as the Queen of the Seas... demonstrating the very heart of society, its order and organization, its pomp and ceremony, its places of frenzied domestic activities, its hospitality, celebration, and pleasures, its underlying disorganization, its disloyal and unfriendliness, and its criminal underworld who seeks to bring her down.
