Gaslight Victorian Fantasy Revised and Expanded for 5E

Sixteen years ago Jonathan M. Thompson and Stephen Miller introduced the world to Gaslight Victorian Fantasy. Battefield Press is proud to bring you the revision that Jonathan was working on when we lost him. A fully updated and revised version for 5E Fantasy. This edition features an all new cover brought to us by William W. Connors! 

Imagine a Victorian world, not as history tells us it was, but as the literature implies that it was. Believe that the literature from the period were more than just stories, but instead first hand accounts of the events that happened in the world. Imagine a world populated by the lost boys of J.M. Barrie, the Beast Men of Dr. Moreau even tales of an immortal vampire named Dracula. Included in these are organizations bent of determining what is best for humanity, and they have launched a secret war against others so that only one will prevail. 
In Gaslight you will find:
  • A history of Gaslight Earth
  • Races detailed for Gaslight Earth
  • New interpretations of Victorian Economics including both a cash and target based wealth system 
  • Rules for Social Standing
  • Weapons and equipment from the Victorian era
  • A Reliquary containing a few artifacts from the history of the Earth of Gaslight.
  • A detailed Gazetteer and Timeline, including *NEW* information on other parts of the world, both the British Empire and its adversaries.  
  • *NEW* Secret Organizations 

In this campaign you will find the ability to help us customize the universe with the ability to add customized NPC's. You can also back a custom game for you and your friends with Gaslight Co-Author and Line Developer Stephen Miller.

If you back in the First 48 hours you will recieve a form fillable Gaslight Character Sheet and previews for upcoming Gaslight Universe Projects.
