    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

    I've lent out my LoEG graphic novels years ago, only to never see them again, but I was intrigued by the Alternate History Narrative at the end of each novel. Pages of ideas to run a Victorian D20 Alternate Past/Future campaign. Really well done. If you do run a campaign based on this...
