A Role-Playing Game of Victorian Villains
Developed by John R Davis.

Based on The Black Hack by David Black.

You were once quite worthy fellows. Something terrible happened and you hit rock bottom. Were it not for a mysterious benefactor you would have died! Maybe you would have been better off that way? Your life is one long fight to survive in the twisting, dank alleyways of Whitechapel area of London.

And now rumour has it there is a serial killer on the loose.

Welcome to the ‘Jack Hack’.

The Jack Hack is a game of beating the odds in the depravity of late Victorian London. It has a focus on the Whitechapel area around the time of the infamous Jack the Ripper murders. The game could have been called Hack the Ripper. Maybe not.

This is the second edition. This edition contains all the rules needed to run the Jack Hack, and character creation. It differs slightly from the original base Black Hack RPG  in

• The way attributes are generated.
• The level cap is five.
