The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Steampunk Supernatural Academy

The year is 1850.  The place, London.  A world much like the one in history books, but yet considerably different.  In this world, Steam Power has been perfected, with the advent of the "Perpetual Steam Engine".  A device that never overpressurizes, never fails...and never runs out of steam.  With this remarkable device powering everything from homes to cars, to the latest invention by another scientist, the world has expanded exponentially.  England has spread it's wings across all the continents, gaining knowledge, wealth, and a vast store of new ideas.  Foremost among their discoveries is the confirmed existence of the supernatural, and subsequently, their acceptance of said entities into their daily lives.  On the streets of London, it is not uncommon to see Werebeasts, anthropomorphic animals, and even ghosts inside special containment suits walking among the humans.  However, even such a marvelous discovery has a dark side.  Whispers have circulated about fanatical cults determined to awaken entities that were never meant to awake, or to purge one race or another from the planet.  These cults grow ever bolder, seeking their nefarious aims, their schemes endangering the good people of England...

Thus, the Doyle Academy for Supernatural Studies and Defense was founded.  Oddly for an institution of the times, it accepts those from any walks of life, inasfar as they demonstrate a degree of physical proficiency, some semblance of wit, and above all, an unfailing work ethic.  Within it's walls, students will learn both the wonders of a classical education, and, perhaps more importantly, the practical study of defending England and her neighbours from threats both human and non.

Right, so this is an idea I just came up with, and wanted to see if anyone's interested!  Rules, characters, etc will come if any interest exists!
