Steampunk themes?

By Watercolour Dragon, in Genesys

Has anybody done any steampunk-esque campaign setting game content yet?

I might regret suggesting this (risk of more want-list games) but it would be great if FFG did a steampunk line similar to Descent et al, could be some epic settings and minis- being very much a dragon person I had the idea the other day of a clockwork dragon, then of course I looked it up on the cog powered interweb machine and found out every Verteline, Victor and Agatha has already had that idea (is there any idea nobody's had before these days :) ) but it remains a seriously cool-as-clockwork idea.

If FFG could do an original take on the genre in a game similar to Descent (but not just a Descent-in-steampunk-clothing, something different but in the same steam shed, twist maybe? rotating cog tiles in place of map tiles?) that could be awesome, like Descent where you can design your own variants.

And of course it would (like the Terrinoth games) pair up nicely with Genesys for RPG kit, but the reason I mention the idea here is thinking what might make such a game awesome could be good for seeding ideas for a steampunk campaign.

I'm working on something steampunkish Victorian, currently. But, it's going to reach far beyond that: Alternate History (Napoleon did take Vizzini's warning at heart, after all), Elves (actually exiled Antlanteans) and Dinosaurs (sentient and not) from Venus, Dwarves and Orcs from Mars, a frankensteined (Revenant) Prince Consort, advanced Babbage Engines, &c.

And Halflings from Indonesia, of course.

Hi!

I've recently started work on an Arcanepunk (Steampunk / Fantasy) hybrid setting using Genesys. It's called The Aeisan War (pronounced Eye-san). I'm building up the classes at the moment, but I am updating the working document regularly on The Dice Pool Podcast Community Facebook page.

For now though, I've uploaded my draft PDF with most of my work to date for you to have a look at.

Cheers,

Chris
