I'm sure someone has raided my hard drive for that Jane Austen game

Mines called " Airs & Graces". By day you do polite things to rise your station, to romance and woo, etc.
By night you turn your character sheet to the other side, and battle the terrors while calling on stuff you earned during the day

Rivers of London RPG update: playtesting the rules

Even when the game you’re developing is based on a tried and tested system, you still need to playtest it to make sure that all the tweaks and additions you’ve made work the way they need to.

So I'm jazzed for the Regency CoC offering. I am curious to see if this is in effect replacing the Cthulhu by Gaslight setting for 7th edition. Not exactly the same time period but I could still see the drive to do CbG for the current edition diminished.

Pulp Regency Call of Cthulhu sounds like an absolutely smashing idea.

As far as I could understand from an interview they had it is not a replacement, but another setting. They were planning on doing more stuff with Gaslight that they had not done before.

A new edition of Cthulhu by Gaslight is in the well in works, it's just not ready enough to say "Coming Soon" though.

In the US, the first book of the series is named Midnight Riot instead of Rivers of London. I haven't read the whole series, but I've enjoyed the three or four books I read.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single person in possession of a good fortune, must be in fear of tentacle monsters."

I am hugely excited for Rivers of London, more than any other game I can think of.
