It's the 19th Century and Queen Victoria is on the throne. It's a time of change and upheaval, both in science and technology as new inventions revolutionise both homes and industry, and in society, with the emergence of a new middle class and a call for equality. But in these new enlightened times lurks a shadow of mystery and the supernatural that will not allow itself to be ignored.
You'd better start believing in ghost stories. You're in one.
Welcome to Penny Dreadful LARP, a live roleplay game set in the Victorian era, based on the themes of gothic literature, sensation novels and classic horror.
Penny Dreadful LARP is not based on the Penny Dreadful TV show, but it is based on the same source material. Penny dreadfuls were cheap sensationalist fiction popular in the UK during the Victorian era, featuring tales of criminals, detectives and the supernatural. Many of the tropes of gothic horror first appeared in the pages of penny dreadfuls.
