57.#DarknessoftheDemimonde (#RavenGodGames ) A Victorian urban fantasy, dealing with the weirdness of London. This was kickstarted recently and plays well. Almost the same simple system as #TinyInTheTower (2d6+stat v Diff), but with a savage death spiral for enemies. Still a few typos.

Got to play with @karohemd (Paula says hi!) which was a treat and had great fun poking around Houndsditch for vampires.

My new #DarknessOfTheDemimonde scenario, Lights Out in Limehouse, got its first run/stress test tonight with my home group. It went pretty well. Players followed leads, found clues, and survived the final showdown. A few tweaks to make but generally I'm happy.

Next week: The Regent's Park Rising.

My hopes that I could use Victoriana stuff for #DarknessOfTheDemimonde aren't really working out, largely due to the former's Shadowrun-esque setting. I have picked up a Gaslight era Call of Cthulhu adventure that I should be able to adapt a lot more easily. But as usual, it turns out what I really want to do is write my own stuff.

And given the game's license terms, I can probably self-publish it too!

Sad to say, not all of the home group were enjoying Starforged, so the return of Ayako the Ninja Intern has been indefinitely postponed.

Instead they've made characters for #DarknessOfTheDemimonde and a demon, magician, werewolf and deep one hybrid are now running a detective agency in Victorian London. I've run them through Horror in Houndsditch and grabbed a bit of Victoriana stuff from DTRPG ready for next week.
