Both the party and myself enjoyed the adventure, but it is not something I would plan to build an entire campaign around.  The novelty mixing of science and technology can quickly play itself out.There is always the saying that any technological wonder would be seen by a more primitive society as being possible only through magic.  That might be your hook right there.</blockquote>
