My brain is starting to work over the Jack The Ripper CoC scenario idea again. I'm now suspecting that maybe I should do it as a mini-campaign, maybe a three-parter. (Run at one convetion? Over three years? I dunno.) Anyway, this blog is as good a place as any to store the booklist I am working on. Hopefully my friendly local library can get me at least some of these texts.

I also need to find out what Colin Wilson has written about the case.
I'll also need some good maps. Props would be wonderful as well.
Another thing I need to do is work up some operating parameters for designing the scenario. What am I trying to accomplish? What don't I want to do?
(Total aside: I find it weird sometimes that Victoria London, with Sherlock Holmes and the Golden Dawn and Saucy Jack is the exact same period as the Old West.)
