The eponymous "[[gm:echoes|echoes]]" of the setting are externalisations of memory, making shared memory and community history physical and therefore a large part of the setting. A core theme of the game is exploring how communities understand themselves in connection to their histories, and how memory -- both the presence and the absence of it -- influence community and individual identity. | The eponymous "[[echoes|echoes]]" of the setting are externalisations of memory, making shared memory and community history physical and therefore a large part of the setting.

===== Setting ===== | ===== Setting ===== |
Echoes is set in a large town in an alternate 1810s England. Although much of history and setting will be the same, there will be a number of notable differences, primarily the existence of [[gm:echoes|echoes]] and a significantly more inclusive society in terms of race and gender. The characters will be playing residents of a market town, and will be neither the poorest members of society nor the richest. | Echoes is set in a large town in an alternate 1810s England.
