Steampunk perhaps.

[Petard]

Hi, I'm about to start prep for a new campaign. My players love steampunk settings and I'm thinking about some professions, skills and gear for a start in 1889 "reality" Victorian setting - magic is returning care of the cultists near a mine in Australia.
Remote, isolated, containable.

Any suggestions for professions (I HAVE to include Librarian/Scholar) and skills would be appreciated. See if we can create a list or three.

Which system/edition?

There's a HARP Steampunk book right around the corner.

"At Rapier's Point." Is great for some pre-Victorian info.

Diplomat
Noble
Poet/Actor
Religious Dissident
Scientist

You could add more from Call of Cthulhu where they have actual Victorian age Professions.
