Steampunk?? HELP!!!

[Alaxk Knight of Galt]

When I think of steampunk it is always very large; Big train engines, large flying machines, large horseless carriages, etc. Basically, feel free to put almost any tech into the game you want just make it on a Colossal scale. A good conflict in these types of games in Industry v Nature or Man v Nature or even Faith v Technology.

One good source that hasn't been listed is The Wasteland by TS Eliot ( http://eliotswasteland.tripod.com/ ). I have been considering creating a world based of it alone with the Industry v Nature and Faith v Technology as the key conflict points. Additionally, if you want Industry v Nature, Tolkien's stuff is really good, just think of Mordor and Saruman on the side of Industry and the Fellowship on the side of Nature. Source material for Man v Nature, any Naturalist Poet is a good source for ideas (Yeats is the only one that comes off the top of my head).

Sidenote - "I will show you fear in a handful of dust"
I love this line.

The comic book series Girl Genius is a great resource, too.

And, come to think of it:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a comic by Alan Moore.

The Iron Kingdoms Monsternomicon and sourcebook will be out this year and they promise to be absolutely stupendous. Might just want to pick up the witchfire modules for now to get a feeling for the setting then hold out til then. Its a fantastic setting.
