A new game world for BtS and the lesser heroes of HU.

It's sort of Earth, but it's not our earth, nor is it the time frame as present day...think 1800's with some of the tech of 1930. We have clockwork and steam punk'ish, but slightly crude solar heaters and terracotta heaters as an option. We have clockwork viking speed boats. Plus magically flying boats, and flying islands. Plus some of the RCCs from PF. Pirates and privateers.
And magic, is sorta like in the DC and Marvel universe. Just because some people do it openly, doesn't mean everyone have seen real magic done so people are not always going to recognize it. Sort of have an unusual game in this department. Using the seals of Solomon for tattoos is a cool idea. The rituals of the pentagram is another interesting thing. Sorta like as explained on recent episode of Arrow...You do not need words to cast spell magic...ritual is another matter entirely. Though you do need something to both channel and focus the energy. Staves, totems, idles, talismans, tattoos, rings, paintings, etc. Towers on nexuses/nexi that have some of the same powers of an Atlantian pyramid.
More to come on this.
