Rivers of London

I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.

Rivers of London

#1 Post by BackworldTraveller »

Has anyone fancied the role of GM for an instalment of this game?

Game rules can be bought here

It seems experience with the Call of Cthulhu would be useful.

Are you familiar with the rules enough to say if they are capable of handling a "Dresden Files" sort of game? I haven't walked around London since the '80's, and haven't ever been a British LEO.

Looks and feels very similar to Candela Obscura (of Critical Role fame).

Steampunk/Arkham/Cthulhu mythos has a nice science-fantasy appeal. I haven't played Rivers of London let alone GM'd a game.

I would be up to join a similar genre of game should one develope.

Looks likely to work - The in-story US magical set up even appears in one story. The "How to be a UK police officer" bit probably needs a different approach though. Despite the films, non-government guns are very, very rare in London and the home-counties. And Murder rates are relatively low too.
