	'''A Word on the Title'''		'''A Word on the Title'''

	David Drake's "Than Curse the Darkness[https://~~www~~.~~goodreads.com/book/show~~/~~34857911~~-~~than~~-~~curse-the-darkness~~]" is one of the best Gaslight-era Cthulhu Mythos stories I know. It's also one of the best Cthulhu Mythos stories I know, period. As a tribute to it, and as a natural corollary to the title, I'm taking the other half of its title quote, "Better light a candle than curse the darkness," as the campaign title and premise.

	Drake's take on the period he covers very much mirrors my take on the Victorian era. This campaign will be very dark. The darkest parts will often be entirely mundane, and historical artifacts of the Victorian age. That's the world we lived - and still live - in.
