    • Everybody's heard about steampunk every now and again, haven't they? The Jules Verne inspired fantasies where zeppelins pollute the foggy skies, gentlemen with cybernetic gatling gun hands pose for fancy daguerreotypes, everything that moves has a pair of brass goggles strapped to it and everything that doesn't is simply covered in cogs.
    A majority of the high fantasy aficionados out there would agree, I'm sure, that behind it's self indulgent fetishism steampunk holds a massive potential for deep and beautiful rpgs.
    But funny enough, the only two noteworthy ones I know of are Arcanum and FFVI. What is wrong with the world? Have I missed out on something important?

    Since the beginning of Dorian Hunt (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,42791.0.html) I've been thinking about it a lot. Are there any good RM steampunk games out there that you would recommend?

    And also, do you have any bright steampunk-related game making ideas that you wouldn't mind sharing and discussing? If you do, feel free to do it here.

    Thank you very much.

    • If you think you can't fit more cogs on it, there's something wrong with your thinking.

    There's always enough room for more style, isn't there?
    But sarcasm aside, I'm really curious what would people like to see behind those cogs n' goggles. We all know what the traditional steampunk form is like, it's very well-established, whereas the substance is subject to infinite fantasy and variation. That's where it gets interesting.

    • I love mechanical fantasy.
    And science-fiction comedies.
    Especially Red Dwarf.

    • There are some great Steampunk/Victorian movies out there. I recommend The Prestige, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. Also, there's that one movie about the underground city. I think its called Lamplight or something like that. It was kind of dumb, but not bad. There aren't a lot of games that do steampunk very well, though.

    • I have nothing to add to this discussion but only to 2nd the notion of The Prestige being amazing and also being in my top 3 favorite movies of all time.

    Continue along good sirs.
