In the early to mid 1800's, the Brontë sisters took the literary world by storm, with novels like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and the Tenant of Wildfell Hall going down as some of the most pivotal works of English literature. Yet what didn't make the history books was the fact that the Brontë sisters, and their brother Branwell, were obsessed with a fantasy game of their own invention that might have qualified as a Roleplaying Game.

This is the tragic tale of four siblings who didn't know how to have small dreams. This is the tale of Glass Town.
