I'm sure someone must have written something like this, and I know of a few systems, but I'd like the membership's opinion as to what's good. Of course, there's Deadlands, but that is specifically American supernatural gunfighters, and I'm looking for something with a more… race to Empires (?) feel. Or, as I write this, maybe I mean more generic fantasy/sf 19th century? Something equally at home with Wallachian vampire lords, lost jungle cities of the serpent people… and HGW/ERB, maybe even CS Lewis style Martians. All in a version of old school D&D. Probably I'm asking too much, but there has to be something fairly close. |

Gaslight? Or Space 1889? These might be worth looking at. |

In Her Majesty's Name? I don't know enough about it to say how many of your bases it covers. |

You might try League of Adventure and/or League of Gothic Horror which both use the Ubiquity system. These are both set in a 1890s like setting. Also both the Ubiquity system and Savage Worlds have Space 1889 supplements. |

Castle Falkenstein is set in an alternate 1870s (steampunk/fantasy), although it's been many years since I played it, but it was most enjoyable.
