The Jack Hack is a Role-Playing Game of Victorian Villains. It contains all the rules needed to play. It was originally inspired by The Black Hack rpg by David Black & my love of Victorian Adventuring. "You were once quite worthy fellows. Something terrible happened and you hit rock bottom. Were it not for a mysterious benefactor you would have died. Maybe you would have been better off that way. Your life is one long fight to survive in the twisting, dank alleyways of the Whitechapel area of London. And now rumour has it there is a serial killer on the loose". The main thrust of the The Jack Hack as a game is trying to beat the odds in the depravity of late Victorian London. It has a particular focus on the Whitechapel area just before, and around the time of the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. The PCs aren't heroes, but aren't meant to be down-right cruel either. They are trying to get by- but situations, events and adventures keep coming their way.
