Victorian Science Fiction (hereafter VSF) records the vision
of the future by writers at the turn of the last century and
their followers into the present day. My definition of VSF is
a loose one. I include the scientific romances of H.G. Wells
and Arthur Conan Doyle (Martians and lost worlds), the
adventure fiction of H. Rider Haggard (lost races and ancient
treasures), alternate historical works such as that of the
modern Harry Turtledove (the other side won the war), and
the steampunk visions of Gibson and Stirling (Charles Babbage
made a computer). Some of the rules I include are “straight”
colonial or exploration games which can easily be adapted to
VSF by incorporating the themes and accoutrements of the
genre.

territory.
