SSgt Baloo Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Steampunk Star Wars (Needs Better Name) Perhaps Vapour Wars Oups! you american use the terms Vapor Wars. I believe you are perhaps confusing the term "Vaporware"? I think Steam Wars has a good ring to it. It also has the benefit of sounding enough like Star Wars that your players should get the idea without you having to spell things out for them. Of course, I myself have been known to be completely oblivious to the obvious on occasion*, so you still might have to explain things to some of them anyway. *I was over 40 before I realized how the phrase "watering the dog" came into common usage. Only when I caught my own dog having a drink from the toilet did the penny drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbywolfe Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Steampunk Star Wars (Needs Better Name) SSgt Baloo, as someone already pointed out to me, he was most likely talking about the spelling of the word, not that we actually use the term "vapor wars". Look at how he spelled it both times: vapour/vapor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
