D&D 5E - Cubicle 7 Announces Victoriana for 5E

Cubicle 7's Victoriana was one of their first games (before them it was published by Heresy Games, back in 2003, using the Fuzion system, before Cubicle 7 bought the company).

Was "Carnival Row" only a season?

Principle shooting has finished for 8 episodes for Season 2. Amazon seems to be playing close to the vest if those are the only episodes or if further shooting is planned.

Looks interesting!

Is this going to be specifically Earth, or can it easily be adapted to other worlds and settings?

Victorian London in the late 1880's.

Sorry, the Cockney in me can’t resist it......
“Take a captain at this captain.”

For non-Londoners, including Americans, I’ve just recommended you get this excellent RPG product!

Take a Captain Hook (ie a look) at this Captain Cook (ie book)
I’ll get my coat...

Seriously, Cubicle 7 are great, so I’m up for this setting.

I am guessing it was just artistic license having both protagonists apparently be left-handed, as those are the hands that hold the pistols. But being left-handed was heavily suppressed in Europe and the US until some time into the 20th century, with people born left-handed being forced to learn to do everything with their right hand and to not use their left hand. I still like the cover, but being left-handed myself, that little thing really jumped out.

I mean, it has elves and ogres and stuff! This is not a historical book!

If you are not left-handed, you would not understand.

I like the idea that the heroes/magic users are left handed only. I don't know why but I just do.

I like the idea that the heroes/magic users are left handed only. I don't know why but I just do.

Sadly, in some parts of the world, including supposedly civilized parts, left-handed people are still treated as evil or followers of the devil. The whole dark magic, evil, left-hand path thing. But it just stood out to me because the game is set in Victorian London and not a made-up fantasy world.

Thinking campaign ideas:

• Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show opened in London in 1887. Something could have come over with him from the New World?
• The first Sherlock Holmes novel was published. Based on? ( in this setting)
• As above for both She and Allan Quartermain by Haggard
• Queen Vic’s golden jubilee

I mean, it has elves and ogres and stuff! This is not a historical book!

I know: probably the reason why I liked the Left Hand idea as good thing is because the Heroes would technically be misunderstood by a majority of the general populous. It's a hard knock life sometimes with no recognition.
