Roma: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Talislanta]]'' has the Sarista, although they're [[Lovable Rogue|portrayed in a fairly sympathetic light]].

* In ''Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor'' the Romani are the brightly colored, nomadic, musical type. Given the intentionally vague faux-30s time frame of the game, this may be a bit more forgivable. Notably, they're actually much more honest than the norm for the setting -- although they have the same intentionally ill-defined "Dreadful Secrets" as anyone else and an air of mystery, both the local Romani colony in general and the two characters specifically provided are generally likable, although one's a bitter and hot-headed youth, and the other's mysterious. Also notably, they're specifically mentioned to speak perfect English, unless faking bad English serves them better for hiding some of their secrets -- we didn't say they were ''totally'' honest, just better than the usual level of corruption and nastiness that most of the other characters and groups show.

** In Ancient Blood, told from the perspective of the Strigany, is about them trying to escape from a bigoted Elector Count who is trying to wipe them out. They are described as 'Eaters of Death', as when the people of a viliage die of plague the Strigany enter the village to bury the dead and take any valuables.

** Those elders that do know of the vampires tend to avoid them though. One wished that the vampires could be forgotten.
