[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Gaslights and Gentlemen
- The Victorian era witnesses the birth of the vampire, raising him from a marauding fiend of the night to a figure of gothic eminence. The era's secrets, however, still lurk in the darkness like terrors shrouded by London's fog. Further mysteries await in the night, ready (and waiting...) for the Kindred to unearth them.
- The Victorian Age Companion includes:
- * Detailed information on the secret societies of the Victorian age and new rules for creating and managing your own conspiracy.
- * New allies and antagonists, including the unholy hybrid creations of vampiric magic and Victorian technology
- * Information and rules for Victorian-era Abilities and Backgrounds, and the bloodlines of the era.
