I remember trying to modify the ruleset for my own use (when I had a Word copy), but I gave up on it. The class thing, the explosives rules, the 2nd Edition holdovers... all subpar. Plus, the layout was not to my liking (which is why I undertook a personal version). And as for the 2nd Edition boxed set: evocative setting ideas, terrible rules execution. Back off the short list. When preparing my own steamboat one-shot, I found d20 Past much more elegant for this sort of thing; as it relies on d20 Modern for rules material, it's quite easy to go "low magic" with it. (Make sure to use Pulp Scientist from Pulp chapter for that "mad scientist" NPC.)N.B. Must seek out Grim Tales while at GenCon....EDIT: Found it. I had 26 pages of spells left to review and format, and I was going to add the judge guidelines and other stuff as appendices. Then I was going to go through and scrub the rules to my liking... yet another partly-done project on the side of the road.</blockquote>
