There is a wonderful steampunk book called Boneshaker by Cherie Priest, that I actually think would make for a great adventure path. Has anyone else thought about this or made an adaptation of it?

I was considering trying to make one within eberron, it seems like thats probably the closest setting for it to work. I've never made an adventure before which is why I'm posting this here to possibly get some help with getting it rolling.

I just read this book (during a long plane trip over the weekend) and thought the same thing. I think making a D&D adaptation of it is tricky (since in D&D the PCs tend to fight rather than flee) but the setting is awesome, and I think there is a lot of potential for adventures in and around the city, helping out the various factions, and looking for clues. I think it would require work to instill the idea in the PCs that running around with swords isn't the best tactic without coming off as heavy-handed, though.
