GAS LAMPS AND STEAM



MILLIEU
Victorian era steampunk with a touch of classic Jules Verne and H. G. Wells science fiction, Space: 1889, Wold Newton, some pulp fiction a la the Centurions, early arrival of art deco, and even some Ruritanian romance. Actually, it’s kind of all the same thing, just with a different hat at different times. Set at the turn of the century (1899), characters are out to become rich or successful, make a name for themselves, avenge an injustice, explore the unknown, solve ancient mysteries, discover new inventions, go somewhere no one has been before, see the world, change the world or just have grand adventures.

Vampires and zombies aren’t real (or are they?), and man has not gone to the moon or Mars yet (well, it at least hasn’t been in the newspapers). There is no such thing as ghosts, magic, or mysticism (powers of the mind).

You are in London to begin with, but you can easily go to the four corners of the world. Why are you in London? How did you get here? What secrets do you keep?
