The Victorian period can be considered to
begin with the Coronation of Victoria I in 1838. In general though, when
one references a "Victorian" game in America, one is really referring to
the period after the end of the Civil War, and probably after the Reconstruction.
It is outside of the scope of this page to
supply an exhaustive set of Victorian links - there are probably more victorian
references online than there are references to the 1920s. What is presented
here is a smattering of links that might be of interest to gamers, with
a focus on resources for Space:1889, a tabletop RPG by GDW.
