Re: Gaming

The RTSs Victoria and Victoria 2 have been brought to my attention.  They're basically a high end version of Risk, Axis & Allies (Board version), and so on.

I can second Resonance of Fate, I own that one and it is incredible.  All of humanity pretty much lives inside a giant clockwork computer. :D

There have been a few others as well, but I'm having trouble thinking of them.

Re: Gaming

Warmachine, the tabletop miniatures game, is the reason I'm into Steampunk here recently. Heavy Magical elements as well. Steampowered robots fighting along side steam-armored magi-commanders who fight across many a battle field. Yes please.

Re: Gaming

Has anyone mentioned Space 1889 in context of FATE/SotC on this forum or was it somewhere else on RPoL?

Also on possibly unrelated issue anyone on the forum familiar with Diaspora?

Re: Gaming

But it doesn't mention FATE or SotC, does it? I think someone mentioned FATE/SotC in context of either steampunk or Space 1889.

Re: Gaming

I just bought the 'Space 1889: Red Sands' setting book for Savage Worlds, it's a neat setting. I could see doing it with SoTC or FATE.  Actually, there's an actual play podcast running Steampunk with SoTC, I think, the podcast is called 'of steam, steel, and murder' I think. Pretty sweet game, not space 1889 based just homebrew steampunk, I think. But they are using the FATE system.

Re: Gaming

In reply to Tzuppy (msg #8):

Once upon a time I considered doing a steampunk / lost worlds mash-up using a hybrid of FATE and Hollow Earth Expedition after the Spirit Of The Century game I inherited fell apart, but that was at least a year ago. I am -way- too busy co-GMing a Pendragon game and keeping up to speed in the games I am playing to start a new game at this moment.

Re: Gaming

Okie, lately I have been thinking about merging what I consider the best parts of Full Light, Full Steam, Houses Of The Blooded and Spirit Of The Century to create a hybrid game system for personal use. I simply adore the skill lists from FLFS (these would need to be expanded upon, somewhat), the dice wagering from HOTB (roll for the right to narrate the outcome, rather than determine success or failure), and the aspects from SOTC (the thematic batteries from FLFS are more or less aspects). The tweaks to make these all work together seamlessly would not be that big a deal, from where I stand. Anyone familiar with these three games and interested in fostering a hybrid?

Re: Gaming

I am. Unfortunately I'm also extremely short on time. I'll do my best to lurk and chime in once in a while, but that's as much I can commit to. Are you familiar with Diaspora?

Re: Gaming

One game I love is Dystopian Wars (tabletop game by spartan games) basically 'steampunk' naval (soon to be land and sky as well) combat. I feel other than the rules being quite enjoyable, it has great design work and I am a sucker for naval combat.


example of the Britannian faction as it currently stands. And yes their carrier which was considered mad when proposed by their design teams. After all it is basically two battleship hulls with flight decks placed in between.


^^ but yes it is a quite fun game and an interesting military diversion into the steampunk setting which I love.

Re: Gaming

just to add to that point, here are a few previews of future aditions to the game. Examples being part of what the british land forces will be like and a view of the upcoming french forces battleship.





each nation has its own unique flair to it, I can only guess that the french may have a more technically advanced force (if not possibly plagued by ailments such as unreliability, weakened armor due to their more fragile mechanics and possibly less armament. Although I only have the image of their battleship to draw these possible conclusions from, but I say they may be concentrated more on maneuverability, and getting their power to bear where they need it most.
