Title: 1746 Google Map of London/Dark Streets
Post by: doomedpc on July 07, 2015, 08:55:52 AM
I'm not sure if this should go in advertising or here - but there is a wicked new take on Rocque's map of Georgian London. It's of a high quality and zoomable (and the site it's on has a lot of other cool stuff as well).

We used Rocque's map for Dark Streets (Mythos vs Bow Street Runners), and I expect a lot of folks who have that (and some that don't) will enjoy this free resource:

I am digging that map.

My distaste for Cthulhu has not put me off the idea of Dark Streets at all.

My Thursday group pals and I love a good dark morally ambiguous game, and I think Georgian England is me beastie..

Thanks! And it's easy enough to play it straight. There was so much real life nastiness, that it's great for standard horrific history. In fact, real life was so chilling, that maybe my adding the Mythos almost takes the edge off the real grimness, in a weird sort of way. When cosmic horror almost lightens the mood, you know you're headed somewhere truly grim...

Thanks for this link. I'll be reading another Dickens pretty soon and this is close enough in time that it will be really helpful.
