Game Summary

From the publisher:
The Heroes and Villains of a Strange Century!

Doctor Archibald Monroe, the erudite chemist and physician-chimpanzee.

"Stony" Joe Smithson, the honest London boxer, transformed into living rock.

Maeve O'Connel, Queen of the Mudlarks, the eternal child touched by Faerie.

The Lady Mirabel, who by darkness defends Whitechapel as the terrifying Night Hag.

When the victims and enthusiasts of magic and bizarre science meet in an infamous club for "the Strange," thrilling action is sure to follow!

The Kerberos Club is a Wild Talents sourcebook for superheroic roleplaying in Victorian London. It includes a treatment of Victorian society in its every particular, especially the incredible and sometimes awful changes that "the Strangeness" comes to wreak upon Queen and Country alike.

The Kerberos Club gives Wild Talents players every tool they need to create new heroes and villains in a world that is at the same time familiar and alien—a world made more of both by the Strangeness that grips it and the dangers that threaten it.

There is, after all, every good reason for the club's motto: "MALUM NECESSARIUM."

4 + 5San Dee Jota. A Wild Talents sourcebook detailing a Victorian London where superhuman characters and events rapidly change everything. Less "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and more "Justice League: Victorian London", this is a book full of fun ideas.
4 + 5The Unshaven. A funny and evocative alt-history Victoriana, strongly adapted into FATE. It mixes rich setting detail and elegant rules with an archly appropriate Victorian voice, and achieves something grand.

9 / 10paul_mitchenerOne of my favourite ever settings. The statted up NPCs and templates for Wild Talents are the icing on the cake, and make this very easy to prep for.
