The Jack Hack
An OSR-inspired roleplaying game set in the dank alleyways of late Victorian Whitechapel. Players portray desperate survivors at the bottom of London society, struggling to endure poverty, violence, and the threat of a serial killer during the era of the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. The game uses the Black Hack system, with a focus on investigation, survival, and overcoming the odds in a depraved urban setting. A copy of the Black Hack is required to play.
