Here are some of the more popular questions asked of us.

• What are the origins of Infernal Gaslamp?
  IG originated by Tyler Dean wishing to have a Cthulhu-based role-play in Victorian England. One of his favorite time periods is the 1890s... Many have speculated more about this, but no one really knows. Tyler should have a good response up here soon.
  
  
• How would you describe Infernal Gaslamp as a whole?
  We've asked the whole crew (and people that know us) and here's what we had to say:
  
  - "Infernal Gaslamp is a look at the world through they eyes of a poet. It is not the Victorian era of historical fact- but rather of Doyle, Burroughs and Wells. It is a look at what could have been is reality were as free as our imaginations." -Tyler
  
  - "It's like a big game of Monopoly" -Willie
  
  - "It's like Dungeons and Dragons, but with class." -Emily
  
  - "No, stop, Tyler, stop, STOP, please, come on, that's horrible, I mean really, stop; you're just being disturbing." -Ryan
  
  - "IG is where we get to be people we've always been curious about, but would never actually want to be." -Kim
  
  - "In his absorbing introduction, Richard Maxwell discusses the novel's intricate design, in which Dickens magnificently interweaves epic drama with personal tragedy." -Steve
  
  - "A bunch of freaks frolicking around fighting squid" ­Claire
  
  - "You guys have raided the larders of all reference materials dealing with the Victorian Age, poured it all into the mixing bowl, stirred until homogenous, and formed some sort of wacky amalgamation out of it all." -Jeff

  The font is called "D'ni" and it was created for the Myst computer games by the Miller brothers. You can download it on certain fansites. Other photos, some I have no idea, I have links to some pages, info I find in the Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and my research. Email me if you want specifics.

• What the hell does a squid have to do with Sherlock Holmes?
  Quite a bit, actually. Infernal Gaslamp is a combined Cthulhu and Holmes role-play (along with some other things) which means Inspector Gregson must match wits with Moriarty who is in league with Cthulhu.
