Fantastic review of my friends'[livejournal.com profile] oldest_song and [livejournal.com profile] mrsoles RPG Unhallowed Metropolis.

I wrote the Victorian History section for them and acted as a historical consultant as well as English culture interpreter. So was very pleased to read this particularly this bit...

Second, the backstory is amazing! There is a solid base of real Victorian history, which is then built upon to create the false history of the game world. And the authors really did their homework while writing it. The history is engaging and the fictional history flows seamlessly from the actual history. A few times I had to go back and re-read carefully to tell if certain things were real history or part of the world-building.

Can't wait to get my hands on my own copy of the game.
