Title: Ship's Crew
Post by: Snate56 on 02 August 2010, 09:55:21 AM

Hi guys!
I have an adventure starting on an 1890's passenger liner; what kind of crew am I looking at? (figures available?)

How VSF is it? To what level of 'Steampunk'?

Maybe some servant types for the cabin crew? Check out Artisan for crew and some cool passengers for that matter:

It starts out quite normally and then there is a zombie outbreak on board. (Hence my interest in Victorian zombies on another thread ;). Thanks, Papa Midnight!)
So servant types, yes, crisply dressed stewards, grungy engineers, etc.
Can I use some naval officers? didn't some of the lines use very military type uniforms?

Some of the below decks sailors could be found in the Pulp Figures line:

And also from Brigade Games

For the officers and stewards, you're probably just as well off using US Navy or Royal Navy officer types, for example:
