<br />
As with many ideas, this did not progress due to other commitments and projects, however I have always liked the idea and so have created this blog to develop characters and new rules to use in <i>Voyages</i> games set in a Victorian horror environment.
Even if you are not a <i>Voyages</i> player, I hope what you find of interest and inspiring in your own games.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15785517757211882618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593445453406062795.post-29545725840793302002013-11-18T05:57:00.001-08:002013-11-18T05:57:26.433-08:00Ghoul<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
