Steam & Steel
a Guide to Fantasy Steamworks


[Vankleek Hill] E.N.Publishing is proud to announce the release of the much anticipated Steam & Steel, written by Christopher Allen, also known as Carnifex in the E.N.World community.

Not merely a list of steamwork devices and toys, this work discusses the vital aspects of adding steamworks to a game. How will steamworks affect society, magic, religion and warfare? How are these steamworks powered? Through coal and oil burning engines, arcane power sources, or the bodies and souls of those crushed on the field of combat? How do the various races use these new tools and weapons? How were they discovered?

This toolkit covers several possible source technologies for steamworks as weel as three tech levels for those who create these machines. The book details a large variety of steamwork prosthetics and enhancements, weapons and equipment, massive suits (and less massive suits) of steamwork-enhanced body armor, and massive constructs of war. There are even steamwork liches, made from those machinists who refuse to die and pine for the immortality of their iron machines, and many other steamwork monstrosities.

Of course, with steam comes vehicles, and thes rules for vehicles include many methods of upgrading existing vehicles as well as rules for designing steamwork ironclads, dirigibles and even laying down hundreds of miles of tracks through dark forests for steam-powered locomotives.

Everything you could ever want from your steam technologies can be found within this volume... the only question left is how you will decide to implement these tools and machines into your game.

Very solid. But not for a month or so. We expect to have print releases of this book and Elements of Magic : Revised (as well as Powers That Be: City Council and Crystalmancy) available in July, and I will be bringing a box of them to GenCon.
 

You can count on my support. This is a subject i am interested in. Other companies writing about steam tech aren't getting it done for me (IK where are you!!??), time for new blood. PDF publishing and supporting RPGNOW is now also a subject i am interested in! :)

Who do you guys go though to get your products in print? Publisher/Distributor-wise i mean. I pay attention to this stuff now.
 

{joking} Well, finally! It's about time, 'Hound! What have ya been poking around doing nothing for so long for?!?{/joking}

Seriously, do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to plop down my cash for this?

*buys and downloads*

Thoughts when I can digest it. :)

Thanks Spencer, Mr Mason.

Yeah yeah, it's about time. I've been a bad publisher for holding on to this release for so long...

But it is sooooooooooooooo sweet.

I love this book. Really do. I'm creating a whole new campaign world JUST to be able to use it. I can't wait to run it now. Expect to see a few new prestige classes or something to pop up from my gaming table to mesh with these rules - stuff I put together to flesh out my new game world.
 

I have been waiting for this to be released!

Ack! I am also busy all night and leaving in the morning. I'll see if I can sneak some time in to purchase and DL.

Thanks!
 


Y'know... this is the kind of thing that could actually force me to buy into d20.
And that's saying a lot. There's only about two other products released that even made me give that possibility a passing thought.

I've been considering this one rather strongly for several hours now.

Oh crap.
I just looked on RPGnow.
$7.95? You're killing me. Now I've got to buy it.

See what you've done?
 

It's very satisfying to see this finally published after the delays that have dogged it.

It's even more satisfying to see it be this month's top seller so far after 24 hours have passed :)

I really hope that everyone who buys it finds it an enjoyable and useful book, and I'm myself eagerly awaiting to see what Ronin Arts does using the steamtech system I put together, since they are apparently to be putting together some products using the Steam & Steel ruleset as a basis :)
