What is the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (LXG)???
In an alternate Victorian Age world, a group of famous contemporary fantasy, Sci-Fy, and adventure characters team up on a secret mission.
Variety says League is "(set) in the penultimate year of Queen Victoria's reign, which ended with her death in 1901" and that it's "essentially a period piece X Men, culling its leading protagonists from the landscape of British popular literature.
Mina Harker (nee Murray) of Bram Stoker's Dracula leads the motley crew of misfits, who include the Indiana Jones precursor Allan Quartermain, from H. Rider Haggard's books; Captain Nemo, the Indian submariner prince of Jules Verne's 20,000 League Under the Sea; the infamously bipolar Dr. Henry Jekyll created by Robert Louis Stevenson; and the seldom seen Dr. Hawley Griffin, the transparent rogue of H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man. In Moore's League all these fictional literary characters are real – and really needed. All are called upon by Queen Victoria to help thwart an evil madman who is intent upon – what else? – world domination."
And this is what we "loosely" base our play on... though our plot is sooo much different.
