Yes please! I have had this constant obession to play a Steampunk DnD Game, but could never find a really decent setting or supplement to use. I always had trouble hunting some down.

I guess my love of Steampunk started with Arcanum, back when I first played it. The concept of steam powered machines mixed with strange magicks has never really lessened. Things like FF6 / FF7 didn't help, and the constant supply of Console RPGs that use Steampunk-esque systems / worlds has never helped either. WoW only fueled it (although I was disappointed with the WoW D20 system, but I tried!)

So, today I sat down and decided to ask the ENWorld Community (www.enworld.org) for help. I posted a thread, asking about a good D20 Steampunk system.

I got a variety of responses, including a PDF that is a supplement that is only $5. I may buy that one, one of these days.

However, in its place I found Etherscope!. This is what I was looking for. I am, honestly, sick and tired of standard fantasy gibberish. I have had my fill of dragons / elves / dorfs / gnomes ect. Yay goblins! I play World of Warcraft, thats enough for me on the Fantasy front

Etherscope is a very Matrix-esque / Victorian styled D20 Steampunk system. Its self contained, and is considered to not be D20 Modern, nor D20 Fantasy, but rather somewhere in between.

So I bit the bullet, and ordered the Softcover Edition of the Core Rulebook. Its got 3 premade adventures, campaign history, DM stuff, character classes, advanced character classes, ect ect. Its everything I am gonna need. At 304 pages I would hope so honestly.

At $30 bucks, it seems like a good buy and I have not found a bad review of the system yet. Its supposed to be very pretty inside the actual book as well.

So here is hoping! I might finally get my Steampunk fix. Of course, I will be the DM but that doesn't mean much to me. And I may only have 2 players (My roomate and my coworker) but who cares!

STEAMPUNK! :O
