[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6570033, member: 996"] Not for 5e, specifically, no. My old AD&D campaign featured an exotic city-state where they made clockwork ornithopters and what amounted to power-armor using bound elementals (no actual steam, but you could use a steam elemental). I created a school of magic and a selection of spells used to build & enchant such things. You could go that rout to introduce more steam-punkish 'magical technology' into a 5e campaign. To go Ebberonian, call the new school 'Artifice.' Or, radically different, a friend and I re-skinned a 4e party into steampunk (specifically Girl Genius) characters - the Druid became a Jeckyl/Hyde medical doctor, the 1/2 orc brawling fighter a Jaegermonster, the sorceress an inventor experimenting in 'pyrodynamics' with a flamethrower, etc... Re-skinning can go a long way depending on the attitude of the players. For the most tired example, a neo-vancian evoker could be re-skinned to have grenades - say 'etheric bombs' that he can set to release different kinds of energy when he detonates them - he could identify himself as a thermodynamic anarchist.
