D&D General D&D adventure set in London

I mean that exact specific thing? No. But I’m sure I’ve done other exact specific things.

What term for cops was it? The bill, the nick, coppers, peelers, Bobbie’s? Lots and lots of terms, not even including slang from subcultures like travellers.

I don’t know, it wasn’t me who said it.

"Woolies," who all carry guns.

The City Beyond The Gate

It's not the kind of thing that's necessarily a dealbreaker for everyone, although I'm sure it'll make some folks roll their eyes. (Like when I read a comic book that features skyscrapers in Washington, DC, a city where, in real life, buildings are capped at 130 feet.)

Incorrect. The plural of Briton is Britons. British is an adjective not a noun.

I was just consulting Collins dictionary:

https://grammar.collinsdictionary.com/english-usage/what-is-the-difference-between-britain-british-and-briton

I would refer to the OED but I no longer have a paid subscription to that service.

Yes. That says what I said, not what you said.

I do English gud. Writing my jobs.

Perhaps I was thrown by definition 3 that said Briton referred to a single person. As you know its really hot here and I don't do well in the heat.

HI all,

I seem to recall, dimly, a DND adventure set in "real world" possibly Victorian London. It might be AD&D. Does any recall this and know where I can find it?

Thanks!

Are you thinking of this from Chaosium?

I’ve written plenty of stuff set in US cities I’ve never been to.

I think the implication was it wasn’t well researched either. Although when was this written? These days it’s very easy to google a huge amount of information about real world locations, but that wasn’t the case a few years ago.

Didn't Bram Stoker write Dracula despite never having visited Transylvania?

He spent a fair bit of time in Whitby though, and more of the book takes place there.

Published in 1985, so after the movie “An American Werewolf in London” (1981) and Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” (1978), yet I don’t recall it have a single werewolf or visit to Chinatown for beef chow mein. #missedopportunties
