I've only briefly looked through Sorcery & Steam; it certainly looks to have a lot of useful info for a Victoriana-style game with all the prestige classes and suchlike, but I don't think it has any direct specific setting material either?I of course have to pimp OGL Steampunk now as well, as I work for Mongoose <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> There's a *lot* of stuff in there to plunder, though I haven't read all of the book myself yet. Equally, Iron Kingdoms is an excellent choice for a whole-cloth existing setting for you to just take and use as-is, and though it's not entirely steampunk-ish you can easily emphasise such elements in it to make it so. On the other hand, the general fusion of magic and steamtech in the setting might not be what you're looking for; still, I'd at least check it out for the excellent setting feel and writing, especially once the World Guide has come out.</blockquote>
