  And the Victorian setting isn't so alien when you consider that players
  are running existing games in that era - Castle Falkenstein, Cthulhu by
  Gaslight, GURPS: Steampunk, Ravenloft: Masque of the Red Death - to name
  but a few; and Grey Ghost games are currently playtesting yet another.
  
Cthulhu by Gaslight is the only one that's still being actively produced
(Gurps bought the liscence for Gurps: Castle Falkenstein) but it hasn't come
out yet.  C.F. is basically gone by the wayside ever since Mike Pondsmith
got a day job.  GURPS: Steampunk got one print run (right before the alleged
release of G: CF, but I think they've decided not to reprint it).  And
Ravenloft is being continued into 3rd ed, but as of yet, it looks like
Masque is being dropped.  All those games are cool and pick up cult like
followings of the people who play them, a lot like UA.  If Greg and John are
trying to reach a more mainstream audience, UA by gaslight is a really bad
way to try.
