So, my perspective is a bit biased, but I'm definitely familiar with both. As innerdude noted, the background setting is very different. Rippers' Victorian age setting is very different from Accursed's world of Morden. Technology is generally at least a little bit lower in Accursed (and often much lower). <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Accursed's game world has a bit more magic, in the form of Witchcraft and Alchemy than Rippers. However, Rippers' magic is more diverse. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In Accursed, the characters start off as Monsters, and must decide if they want the power that comes from being horrific or if they want to redeem themselves.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In Rippers, the characters start off as human, and must decide if they want the power that comes from being monstrous.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rippers characters are generally presumed to be European, often British. Accursed characters have a broader range of fictional ethnic backgrounds.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Both settings include a plot point campaign in the main book. Rippers also includes some other adventures. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Character creation for Accursed is a little bit deeper, because of the monster selection options. </li> </ul>Beyond that, though, now's kind of a good time to get both. For $20 if you hit the current <a href="https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Nerves3" target="_blank">Bundle of Holding</a>, you get PDFs of Savage Worlds, the Horror Companion, Rippers, the Rippers Companion, and Accursed.If you have specific questions on either, I'm happy to answer them.</blockquote>
