When I placed my head on my pillow  I did not sleep  nor could I be said to think I saw  with shut eyes  but acute mental vision   I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out  and then  on the working of some powerful engine  show signs of life  and stir with an uneasy  half vital motion.  Mary Shelley  Frankenstein It has been two hundred years since first the outbreak of the Plague  when the dead rose to feed on the flesh of the living. Countless millions perished in the chaos that followed. It was the dawn of a new dark age. London  the capital of the Neo-Victorian Empire  is a vast  densely crowded city. Beneath the towering walls and crackling Tesla towers  where the fallout of a thousand crematoria darkens the streets  ten-million souls live in squalor. Predators  human and inhuman  stalk the slums and rookeries  preying on the unwary and the helpless. Beneath the haunted streets  resurrection men and body snatchers hock their grisly wares at blood-stained meat markets. Their clients are degenerate ghouls and amateur anatomists who practice the outlawed science of reanimation. Driven by an insatiable hunger for immortality  physicians search tirelessly for the elixir vitae  the fabled alchemical solution that promises life eternal and a cure for the Plague. Above it all  the aristocracy looks down  pristine and enduring behind their walls of privilege  but preyed upon by dangers more insidious than those that infest the streets. Even in this time of darkness there are those with the strength to fight. Undertakers  Mourners  soldiers  and scientists do battle with the horrors of the age  keeping a solemn vigil over the Unhallowed Metropolis. Set two-hundred years after the advent of the zombie Plague  Unhallowed Metropolis is an apocalyptic Neo-Victorian dystopia written by Jason Soles and Nicole Vega. Inspired by the works of Mary Shelley  Edgar Allen Poe  and Robert Louis Stevenson  and painstakingly researched by the authors  Unhallowed Metropolis provides a rich role-playing experience steeped in alchemy  mad science  and undeath.
