Welcome to the Victorian Gamer

Ezine for Role-playing in the Victorian Era

Welcome back!

After a long hiatus, Victorian Gamer ezine is back in business. I have been working on a wide variety of projects, but I have gotten a lot of requests for more Victorian Gamer. In order to meet my various demands, I will be publishing VG as Quarterly.

Skipper, Jr. received a bachelor's degree in History from the University of Houston. From there he joined the Army and became an intelligence officer serving three years in Germany. He is a veteran of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, during which he was awarded the Bronze Star. Leaving the Army, he returned to Houston, where he spent three and a half years as a police officer. He is now a computer programmer/systems analyst working at Compaq's headquarters. Jim hopes one day to decide what he wants to be when he grows up. Jim developed an interest in the Victorian era early on when he began reading the Sherlock Holmes stories of Arthur Conan Doyle. As his studies into the era continued, he became fascinated by the feats of engineering and the marvelous inventions of the time (steam engines, photography, telegraphy, electricity and electric lights, the telephone, refrigeration...). He has also been playing and GMing Role-Playing Games since 1979. This is part of his effort to integrate his two interests.
