I’d either go for a returning-PTSD-suffering-veterans screampunk game (more gothic, less tech), or make the PCs agents of Joseph Banks. (“Yes I know there’s a war on, but that’s no reason to stop talking to fellow gentlemen of science in France. I can give you a letter of introduction to Humboldt if you’ll just slip over the Channel to look into this latest spot of bother with Fulton and those hieroglyphs...”)
