Default 19th Century Monster Hunters?

Did my brain just make it up, or was there a Monster Hunters article in Pyramid for using Monster Hunters in 19th century settings (Victorian/Old West/Steampunk/etc.)?

I've been able to find Monster Hunters in the Pulp Era (#3/31) and Action in the Old West Era (#3/74).

The pulp article was the first thing that I thought of.



Looking through the index, that's as much as I've seen.


I do know people on the forums have talked about running monster hunters for old west, for renaissance, and for the middle ages. Not sure if it was pyramid articles.

You are probably remembering a post by myself at some point. I wrote such an article, but it's never been published.

The third edition Deadlands supplement provides an excellent starting point.

Icelander ran a campaign of Victorian Monster Hunters and made some posts about it here.

There is also GURPS Adventure Guns on late-19th-century firearms.

Also, Classic GURPS Horror has a Victorian Age section. That could contribute to people misremembering.

I'm currently sitting on an 1875 monster hunters location concept I may or may not ever hear back on.

I believe the Monster Hunters Loadouts book has a section for TL6 equipment.

Weird timing. I'm just starting up a 1930s MH game set in NY, Gotham Noir. Players are going to be P.I.s, Cops, Mad Scientists, Priests (and Priestesses... go Voodoo), &c.
