Nov 01, 2008 16:08:14 I've been working on a Steampunksetting for a few months now and I've run into a bit of writers block. Does anyone know of any good sources for Steampunk material? Also, anyone with experiance, I'd appreciate some advice or suggestions if at all possible.

Nov 01, 2008 17:47:27 I used to run a D&D steampunk campaign a few years back.

On steampunk material, how about Iron Kingdoms?

For more info, do a search on the boards here, there have been numerous Steampunk threads before.

Nov 01, 2008 21:51:13 GURPS Steampunk, Steam-tech, and Castle Falkenstein are all excellent for flavor and ideas, even if you are using d20 Modern and not GURPS.

Pinnacle's Deadlands and Rippers are both weird steampunk settings, and two of my favorites.

It doesn't take much to adapt the ideas of any of these games over to d20, and in the case of Deadlands, they even made d20 conversion books, although it was for 3e, and not d20 modern.

I've run campaigns for Deadlands and a Ken Hite/Tim Powers-inspired steampunk kinda thing using d20 modern, and I used all of the above games for inspiration. These campaigns of mine were all very successful.

Yes. It. Is.

Im creating a campaign that takes place in a universe much like arcana. Steampunk, and also continuing the trend of magic and technology being oposed forces.

Have you seen the Girl Genius comic?: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/

The Reaches by David Drake
His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik
Midshipwizard by James M. Ward
