tkdguy Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I know this subject has come up before, but it was mainly a mix of rubber science and magic. I'm thinking about completely removing magic in favor of rubber science (mostly clockwork, but a few steam-powered gadgets). It would still be set in the Middle Ages or early Renaissance. I'd probably base a lot of tech from the ideas of Da Vinci. Personal weaponry would still be regular medieval weapons. This probably wouldn't be our world, so I can include demi-humans. I'm using that term instead of nonhumans because they'd be evolutionary offshoots of the human race as opposed to being different species altogether. What do you guys think?

tkdguy Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: Steampunk fantasy? I'll do that, definitely. Although my dwarfs wouldn't be so invulnerable to fire. I wouldn't give them duck feet, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Steampunk fantasy? I'm loathe to suggest it, but definately pick up all of the 3rd/3.5 edition d20 Ravenloft campaign books, specifically: Van Richten's Arsenal - lots of clockwork & alchemy, and "low level" spells that can be easily adapted. They have a really great feel for what goes into that particular setting. Really, ANY of those books will give you a 'glimpse in the life' as well as plenty of seed material.
