Fits well for a steampunk game, anyway, as getting the morning post was just something a literate man of the era habitually did. The post will likely be important, as well - I vaguely recall (I think I read it in GURPS Steampunk or GURPS Horror 2e) that in London of the era, the post was delivered six times per day, allowing fairly slow conversations to take place between persons on opposite sides of the city who for whatever reason are unable to meet.

The nobility and gentry will likely have some parody of Burke's Peerage, if Sir Terry didn't include that in one of the books already.
