'Fog everywhere. Fog up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city. Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog laying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. Fog in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper, down in his close cabin; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little ’prentice boy on deck. Chance people on the bridges peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog, with fog all round them, as if they were up in a balloon, and hanging in the misty clouds.' - Charles Dickens

By Lanterns Light is a Free-Form Historical game set in London in 1860. It is a period of time that has given us some of most beloved TV Shows and Movies but writing within it is something unique.
In this game, you are encouraged to make a character that would live in this great city at this time. Who they are and what they do is up to you. You can play a Lord or a Cobbler. A Duchess or a Whore. Are you engaged, employed, do you suffer from consumption? Has your Family risen above the devastating poverty in the lower streets or is every day a struggle for you and yours?
The world around you is changing. Industry is booming. Before your very eyes, organic wood is being replaced with cold, hard steel and factory smoke stacks are being erected on ever other street corner. Progress is coming. Do you embrace or shun it? Is London your Home or are you a traveler? Are you one of the rare few who can see London for the gothic beautiful city it is or are you unable to see through the fog?
Let Lanterns Light guide you on your journey! Where you end up is entirely up to you.
