Politically Incorrect Games (PIG) is pleased to officially announce a new supplement for Iron Gauntlets... Steampunk Musha. Created by Rick Hershey, this book presents an alternative fantasy setting in a land torn between honoring the old traditions and embracing the new, foreign technologies. Soon to be available in both PDF and print formats, Steampunk Musha will be a must-get sourcebook for Iron Gauntlets if you're into Samurai, Ninja, and Clockwork Engineers. Welcome to Rosuto-Shima.

Steampunk Musha includes two new forms of magic for Iron Gauntlets, as well as new character races, gimmicks, backgrounds, and vocations. Characters can even portray Clockwork Ronin, the demon-like Jinteki-Oni, Shangti Cowboys, and even masters over the elemental katas. Setting-specific creatures, weapons, and armor augment those from the Iron Gauntlets rulebook, and the various cities of Rosuto-Shima are described. A sample adventure is even provided to get you started. Plus enjoy art from Rick Hershey and Empty Room Studios.

Iron Gauntlets is PIG's fantasy roleplaying game designed with dynamic, easy to learn rules. It's built for experienced roleplayers looking for efficient yet versatile rules or as an introduction to novice gamers by an experienced gamemaster. Iron Gauntlets' flexibility makes it the perfect choice when looking to match a custom setting to a system or even when you need a less-cumbersome system for an existing setting. Iron Gauntlets utilizes mutliple ten-sided dice, but can also be enjoyed with two six-sided dice and even diceless with our genreDiversion i and Active Exploits Diceless rules respectively. Iron Gauntlets is currently available in both PDF and softcover formats, and may be purchased directly from PIG - or check with your favorite retailer.

I didn't even know Brett posted this here. Anyway, it's been real exciting to see this finally near completion and everyone from my staff at Empty Room Studios to Brett and Politically Incorrect Games has been very supportive and great to work with on Steampunk Musha.

I wonder if I can show some art? Anyone interested?
 


Hey ledded,

Her's a couple of images then, just for you.

This first one is of an Alchemist, just one of many new Vocations found in the setting.

This next image is of a Keshou with his Steamwork Rickshaw. although used as a taxi service, many of the Rickshaw drivers supe these up for some underground street racing.

Well as someone who has had the privilege of reading Steampunk Musha already, I can say that it is very, very cool indeed! Definitely check this out people - the writing and the art combine to form a sublime whole!

Thanks bunches... very, very cool stuff. I'm liking what I see so far, this is one I'll have to do some research on and keep my eye out for.
 

Definately cool...too bad we started talking about it over a month before it's planned to come out, I'm likely to forget about it by then. Keep pimping it!

I originially misread the release date thinking it was 7/21 and was going to ask if it was coming out soon, then I got bummed when I re-read it as 8/21.

Hopefully maybe a PDF preview to satisfy our cravings?
 


Update: Steampunk Musha is now under final review and will be off to the printers soon. The PDF and Softcover should be available at pigames.net by the end of August.
