I was wondering if anyone knew of an rpg that has a setting similar to the tv show Penny Dreaful?

I never played or read it, but the descriptions of Masque of the Red Death, a spin-off from Ravenloft sound equivalent.

Hopefully it did better than Ravenloft did in implementing the genre.

Wasn't there a gaslight-era Chill as well as C'thulhu by Gaslight? Chill is a bit (LOTS) more "monsters of the week" than C;thulhu of course, so a better fit for Penny...

WoD seems like a good choice... lots of bantering and talking
the protagonists aren't much in the supernatural themselves (Nessa's "magic" powers are... kinda suspect actually) except for mister hunky-and-hairy...

Caliban & Lilly: prometheans
Sir Malcom & Sembene & Lyle: Standardish human
Vanessa & Victor: Mage or Standard human i reckon
Ethan: Werwelf
Evelyn and her kids: Mage
Dorian: Immortal
