[ENPub] Steam & Steel Released!

[philreed]

Too late, the first one is already up! (Though I have a wierd urge to try to make Diseases and Prostesis rhyme...)

As soon as I find four more dollars worth of stuff I want I will purchase it.

The Auld Grump, my, that was fast...

Well, we (Ronin Arts) have also recently released A Dozen Necromantic Machines, A Dozen Musical Instruments, and Fantasy Player's Companion: Contacts. Or, if you haven't yet, you could subscribe to the DM's Idea Pipeline.

Look at me being helpful!

Phil,

What further compatible products do you have in the pipeline? Obviously, I'll be watching your stuff with especial interest

Picked it up this morning. (I went on a RPGNow binge... $60 can buy a lot of PDFs...)

Some nasty infections there, though I notice that none of them cause Cyber... ummm, I mean Steam Psychosis.

No PC victims (yet), but I may inflict one of these on an NPC. (Ever wonder why the bad guys never seem to worry about these things... I like it when the PCs start worring about wether they are likely to catch something from the villain.)

*a quick bump to draw Phil's attention to my question above*

Next will be some prosthetics. More vehicles are planned. Basically, short PDFs that latch onto one aspect discussed in Steam & Steel and offer more options. Much like the diseases did (when I read that box, and saw only one disease, I knew what I was writing first).

I hadn't even considered that. It never felt right to me in cyberpunk games.

Ayuh, it was a game balance rule trying to pass itself off as flavor. I would be more inclined to put in a gradual breakdown of the central nervous system, that increases in rate with more cyberware. (Oh, and once the degradation began it would continue even if the cyberware was removed, slower, but continuing... A fun combination of Alzhiemers and Parkinsons diseases...)

But then I have never been a big fan of cyberpunk, nor the moral vacuum it seems to encourage in the characters. I want heroes darn it!

Cool, I'll be eagerly awaiting them
