Murders in the Museum: A Case of Dangerous Darwinism - Cardiff Steampunk

Sunday May 10th 1909

In a Wales in which airships and steam automatons are common a series of hideous murders connected to The National Museum of Wales has shocked Cardiff. Does this have something to do with the startling theories of Alfred Russell Wallace (from Usk) and Charles Darwin regarding the evolution of Species by a process of Natural Selection?

A group from The Guild of Adventurers of The Silurian Steam Republic has been called in. We must search for clues by investigating an exhibition on evolution commemorating the centenary of Darwin’s birth and his connection to Wales in the museum. Who knows what we may discover and what horrifying implications there may be for humanity's place in the universe? As religion and science face each other in a terrible conflict only one thing is certain it will be an adventure suitable only for those willing to grapple with extreme science and face hideous danger with steadfast courage.

As well as extreme peril the adventure will include a chance to socialize with other adventurers of varying occupations and in all probability a visit to a public house.

Meet outside the museum at noon or in the Grand Entrance Hall. Look for the group of fashionably dressed people.

[Chrononauts be advised appropriate clothing for the period is advised though not essential.]
