[d20 Past] Victorian Resources

[ragboy]

I know it's not out yet, but here's a great site I stumbled onto for those that plan to (or are running homebrew/other system) Victorian games set in London:

A ton of great maps, printings and engravings of buildings inside and out, and some other interesting stuff.

Enjoy...

Feel free to post your other Victorian resources in this thread...

And for a series of plotbunnies for such games...

The links section of my website has a ton (or, since we're speaking London, a tonne? ) of links. Too many to mention here. Go to the "Dire Connexions" section below for good stuff. Also, the "Images of a Lost City" section has some photographs of various buildings.

Oh, and Highgate Cemetery is such a wonderfully gothic place, isn't it?

Wow, great stuff guys. Damn, this really makes me want to run the Grim Tales/Thief/Masque of the Red Death idea I have. Too many campaign ideas, so little time. :\

As soon as d20 Past comes out, I'm hoping to do just that as well!

Cool! Can you post some of your campaign ideas, maybe in here or in a new thread? I definitely would be interested in hearing about (and perhaps trade some ideas).

Also, what do you think d20 Past will provide that Grim Tales + CoC + some homebrew stuff would not?

Slightly dated (1900), but excellent maps and locations - can be made into a player booklet with some fancy Acrobat skills
