Given that I am running the game as a Steampunk/Espionage campaign not bogging down with how many gold/silver/copper has been a big help. While the game has some shortcomings in general I am quite happy with it.I created a few 'mass produced' pieces of equipment, dropping the DCs for those. This campaign was about the quickest that I have ever created a world for, finishing the broad strokes in 3 weeks. Since then I have been filling in the minor details, and statting out the more common Amazing Machines. (No mecha, I really don't like the concept at all, at all, But they would be easy enough to do, the rules for 'em are in there...) Rules for creating Automata (robots/constructs are also in the game, though I think I neglected to mention them earlier, in fact one of the PC races given are the CoGS  sentient constructs in a variety of types and materials.I have also been using Steam & Steel by E.N. Publishing. The creature templates in particular have been very handy. (A creatures section is one of the shortcomings in OGL Steampunk I mentioned above. Oddly they have a list of creature qualities, but no creatures to accompany them.The other big one is a rather poor weapons section, they essentially substituted D&D weapons for the ones in OGL Modern, changed the prices to purchase DCs and called it a day)If you can find a copy check it out.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
