I like this one. I'd really love to play a Victoriana-steampunky game like this, and I love the idea of an author and his creations teaming up.

It would also be a workable alterna-setting for Castle Falkenstein where the collision of historical reality and the fiction of the approximate era makes rather more sense.

Great setting. I really like the idea of these dual worlds influencing each other. And I really like the idea of Conan Doyle and Holmes working together!
This would make a good alternate setting for Passages by Blue Devil games.
