London gets stolen by space bats and stowed in a gigantic underground cave. If that doesn't pique your interest, you've probably not got a pulse. Which can actually be a problem in this universe.
I'll just leave these here. Go and look at them, right now. I'll be here when you get back.
Good. Now that you've got them both, let's talk about Sunless Skies. Failbetter are doing a sequel of sorts to Sunless Seas (one possible future of it) in which Victorian London escapes from underground to colonise space.
Victorian. Horror. Space. Space steam locomotives.

I am ridiculously excited by this.
Failbetter Games are insanely good at writing and I can't wait to start playing (if a time ever comes when my two daughters are asleep simultaneously). The Kickstarter is over here - it got fully funded after only four hours (!) and I'd strongly recommend getting involved. I'm always very wary of Kickstarter, but I've backed it because this is a great company and they write great stories. You should back it too.
Anyway, part of the whole Kickstarter event are some social goals to unlock more content. One of those social goals is to compose a space shanty. Lyn is obviously the one in the household with actual musical ability, but I've given it my best shot. It's only supposed to be 70 words maximum, but I couldn't stop! Here is my space shanty "How Shall We Hide From A Wrathful Judgement?" - to be sung to the tune of "What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?".
How shall we hide from a wrathful Judgement?
How shall we hide from a wrathful Judgement?
How shall we hide from a wrathful Judgement?
Since that we're in space now?
Hooray, up we're rising!
Hooray, up we're rising!
Hooray, up we're rising!
