There are certainly a lot of other Victorian-era-esque sources. I was trying to limit myself mostly to ones with the feel of an American city of that era (though I made a few big name concessions, obviously).Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-60658093409078674132012-09-17T06:08:59.989-04:002012-09-17T06:08:59.989-04:00I'm a huge fan of this kind of setting, and if...I'm a huge fan of this kind of setting, and if you haven't come across it yet, you should check out the Unhallowed Metropolis game.
