Pirates still existed around that time. And ninja are omnipresent, why there's one right behind you, nope, you missed it. And everyone knows the royal family are aliens...
This'll be my first pbp game as well, beyond a few attempts on other boards that ended prematurly, so you won't be alone. Also, post in the introduction thread to properly introduce yourself (at least in the proper place, the manner of your introduction is subject to individual whims).

there are still a couple of backgrounds to come - at least send me a timeline for your character & any important events/people in their life, so we can start

I've decided to outsource my work to my good friend Duke Nukem. In other words, it'll be done when it's done. That should be before his next game at least.

I am sending each player a background post as a private message - as there are things that people may want to keep secret from the others - it's up to you how much you wish to reveal.
Once you're read it and know what's going on, please feel free to post in the IC threads I am about to set up.
There will be a seperate thread for dice rolls - please keep all OOC stuff off the story threads.
I prefer everyone to write in past tense if they can.
Id
one other thing - when posting IC please put direct speech in bold
and indirect speech (eg a letter or memory or a thought) in italics
- it's been a long time since I did pbp and I'd forgotten this convention!

I've been asked a couple of times lately about historical accuracy in the game.
I have a head start being a historian who has spent their entire life in this country & read a lot of Victorian literature - also just because I'm obsessive doesn't mean I expect anyone else to be!

there's a difference between slavish attention to accuracy & wild anachronism dear!!!

Who's to say "A long time ago" doesn't mean the Victorian era?

And England is almost a galaxy far far away, depending on which schools you went to in the US.

Damn. Times does flies I guess. Never realised it was eight days since last reply. Ironically, I was going to post today anyway due to nice day but can only do so after final exam which I did straight away on my return. Good day at work, good day at class and then this happens. *sad*
Nevertheless, I guess we did disappoint you and I feel regret and disappointment to see the game closed.
Our apologies. *gloomily*
