Adventure Calendar Bonus 29: Victoriana

Adventure Calendar
Bonus 29: Victoriana

Since the modern idea of Christmas starts with Victoria and Albert and Charles Dickens, something 19th Century would seem apt. There are straight-up Victorian RPGs, Westerns, games about the fiction of the time, gaslamp fantasy like Castle Falkenstein and Victoriana, Steampunk, period settings for horror games, and so on. How many of them look at the social concerns of the time and the present as Dickens did?

O Christmas Tree

Christmas trees are very much in fashion, and supply isn’t meeting demand. Certain enterprising individuals take it upon themselves to find trees for some of the town’s most willing to pay. This also gives these artful types a chance to see how the lucky few live, and where the best ways in are.

As Trojan horse heist props go, a massive Christmas tree is certainly unusual.
