2nd Edition Core Rulebook
 "Significant and worthwhile improvement over the first edition. Great presentation. THE Victorian setting game at present."
Flames Rising Review by James 'Grim' Desborough

"Victoriana is a solid system and the setting a fascinating mirror to our history"
RPG.Now Review by Sean Holland
"on the whole the system is fun in play and the book does a good job of enabling a group to do exactly what the book suggests. In our game we had chandelier swinging action, dark conspiracies, dramatic parties, skulking through the streets of Londinium, sorcery, dueling, and everything else a person might expect. All of this was handled with only occasional looks back to the book, and much fun was had by all. "

Faulkner's Millinery and Miscellanea
"If I were to run a longer term Victoriana campaign with a focus on immersiveness this is a resource I would make heavy use of. The book manages to be useful, entertaining, and informative all at once."
RPG.Net Review by Christopher W. Richeson
   

The Marylebone Mummy
"That's the great delight of this adventure, not just that it is finely-crafted in its own right but that scattered throughout are snippets to make it part of a greater whole."

GameWyrd
"Victoriana gets it right." "It’s one of those games that inspires you. Victoriana will grab you, have you playing it and experiencing fresh faced gaming enthusiasm all over again." "Even the character sheet is great."

"This is a game that deserves better than to be left collecting dust on some shelf because some full-color harcover games got all the spotlight. This is one of those games I'll be telling my grandchildren of."
