Pretty nice.

Nice cover. I've always been intrigued by the game. I might have to get this book now.

Between this and the new taldorei and kingdoms & warfare On Sale and three new d&d books being released in quick order, my bank accounts future is in jeopardy.

Whew lad, a true steampunk setting for modern D&D at long last. Hard to believe it's taken until 2021 for something like this to come along. If it had existed five or six years ago, I might've actually bought into 5e.

Lucky thing for me, I guess, that it's coming out years after I've already given 5e a fair shake and found its combat mechanics to be intolerably boring.

Steampunk, a genre than can drinks as source of inspiration all the fiction from the XIX fiction: Emilio Salgari, Jules Verne... but also with space for sad stories as Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Have you thought about getting any idea from "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"? Have you read Legenderry, the steampunk mash-up by Dinamyte comics?

Was "Carnival Row" only a season?

How to controll firearms and armors in urban zones from steampunk settings? Some classes (and subclasses) could be rejected or become useless in a steampunk setting. Maybe there is a mystical taboo, a ghost can attack his killer with the same type of weapon used for the murder. Then everybody would try to avoid firearms, but the own gunslingers willing to a new shooting. And the power balance with the steampunk exosuits?

Gorblimey, would you have a butcher’s hook at that. I’m Bobby Moore that’s bottle and glass that is, and no Cadbury’s flake.

Think I’ll be playing a rogue in Victorian London.....

That's a Dodger you'll be playin' guv

I am guessing it was just artistic license having both protagonists apparently be left-handed, as those are the hands that hold the pistols. But being left-handed was heavily suppressed in Europe and the US until some time into the 20th century, with people born left-handed being forced to learn to do everything with their right hand and to not use their left hand. I still like the cover, but being left-handed myself, that little thing really jumped out.

Is this going to be specifically Earth, or can it easily be adapted to other worlds and settings?
