[QUOTE="arscott, post: 3161484, member: 17969"] Masque of Red Death is an old D&D product that combines fantasy horror with the victorian era. One of the adventures that comes in the boxed set revolves around Jack the Ripper. As for getting your players to accept it, my advice is that you're better off encouraging them to embrace the change, rather than encouraging them to ignore it. Don't just focus on the Victorian Era as a setting--also think about the Victorian Era as a theme--let your plots revolve around important victorian trends like industrialization and imperialism. You mentioned an alternate fantasy world. Tie it in more explicitly to the victorian england setting. Perhaps it's Avalon, where the creatures of myth and fancy hide from the smoke and iron so poisonous to them. Or perhaps it is England of the ancient past, Discovered by Mr. H.G. Wells and his time machine. Don't just have it be greyhawk, unless you have a really specific reason why it needs to be greyhawk. [/QUOTE]
