Victorian-era rpg
Once upon a time I stumbled upon a RPG that was set in Victorian London. I think the PCs were all members of some adventuring society. I recall there was a table in there on how to pronounce Victorian-style surnames.
What RPG am I thinking of?
Thanks (this has been driving me nuts)!

Nope, none of those.
I remember that table of surname pronunciations. That really stood out in my mind. I wonder if it was perhaps "Spirit of the Century?"

I don't think it's Spirit of the Century. Terra Incognita probably isn't it, but it's worth looking into.
I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

I'm not terribly familiar with it but Spirit of the Century was more on the pulp adventure side of things. If that sounds familiar it might be it, but Victorian England doesn't really sound like the prime setting for it.

I think, therefore I get really, really annoyed at people who won't.

Re: Victorian-era rpg
By default, Spirit of the Century takes place in the 1920s (in fact, How World War I Affected Your Character is part of the creation process), so I don't think that was it, unless there's a bit I don't remember. Originally Posted by Chernobyl

How about a Savage Worlds campaign called Rippers? All the characters are Victorian Age monster hunters belonging to a Lodge.

I don't know if it has the pronunciation table, but perhaps The Kerberos Club? It's a super-powered Victorian setting that comes in ORE, FATE and Savage Worlds editions.

Don't know about pronounciation guides or whatever, but give 7th Sea a look.

Re: Victorian-era rpg
Most people don't think of it as an RPG, but you might consider Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective.
