Thoughts of Steam
Hi folks. I'm not sure if it's my memory jumbling up different games, settings, wishful thinking or just early dementia setting in, but has there been any Rifter articles that did something like a "Steam-Punk" setting/dimension? If so, which one? My Rifter cheat-sheet only goes up to about issue 62.
I've been pondering a potential article (or three) in regards to such a setting and some related tech and works.
Would anyone be interested if there isn't?

Steam's okay I guess.
Re: Thoughts of Steam
A Steampunk setting is a Good idea.
Re: Thoughts of Steam
Yes!!!! Please work a Steampunk Setting.

I hate it when my mind wonders,
Because I have no idea what it will bring back with it.

Re: Thoughts of Steam
I fully intend to include tie-ins to other realms, including some very specific mentions and specialized details.

Re: Thoughts of Steam
Will it be set between 1865 to 1915?

Well, the work-up I'm developing is going to be an independant dimension, but as to most of the look and feel, the overall answer is, "Yes." =)

Re: Thoughts of Steam
I did a setting with a Steampunk theme for PFRPG which I posted in that forum. It also appears in the Black Vault Wiki, which I can give you a link to. http://wiki.thedeificnmi.com/index.php?title=Kh%27ron
Other than that, I am unaware of anything appearing on these boards or in any of the Rifters or official material.

Re: Thoughts of Steam
I'd thought about a general idea for muzzle loading firearms & artillery. Basically as a way to set musket combat, so you could play adventures set from the 1500s to the mid 1800s. (Napoleonic Wars with Spies & mysterious Oriental Martial Arts as Britain & France pry open the Far East?)
