It seems to me that in a Martian environment, your food will probably be underground. You can't really go mucking up that beautiful red Martian landscape with grass or other vegetation.It also seems that with the lack of water, the world's elite will want a faster and safer way to travel. I think that in keeping with the steampunk theme, you may want to add airships as a mode of travel for those who can afford it.You'll also need conflicts. The villains could be the water rationers, or maybe great dragons that lie beneath the rocks and sand, leaving behind them something of value (not unlike the worms of Dune). Maybe another alien race has laid claim to much of the world. I've always thought the xill were a cool race.I've always thought it would be cool to put gods physically into a campaign setting other then Planescape. You could not only do that, but go with the Cthulhu theme and make it so that the gods are there, but they really don't interract with mortals unless they become irritated with them and squash them like bugs. In many ways they would be more like forces of nature that reshape the landscape at will.Anyway, that's just a few thoughts off the top of my head. I'll be interested hearing what you end up going with.</blockquote>
