This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

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.
