Players navigate Victorian London, the workplace, the marriage market, property ownership, medicine, and the prosthesis market while aiming to achieve their character's personal goals. The playable characters are inspired by Victorian amputees and the imagined prosthesis users from nineteenth-century literature. Think Silas Wegg, Captain Ahab, and William Ernest Henley! Through the medium of fun, Legless in London encourages players to think about: the agency, opportunities, and barriers that disabled people had in the past and have today; and how disabled people were and are represented in popular culture\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFocus Games have been collaborating with Dr Ryan Sweet (Senior Lecturer in Humanities, Swansea University) and a focus group of members of the disabled community to create Legless in London, our new tabletop role-playing game, inspired by Ryan’s 2022 open-access book \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-030-78589-5\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eProsthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisability and disability history are underrepresented in culture—and especially in tabletop gaming.
