Steamfunk: An Untold Mini Campaign Setting released!
Imagine if all the most interesting parts of the 1800s were slammed together. Early industrialism blends with Gilded Age monopolies. H.G. Wells mixes with Edgar Allen Poe. Tesla, Edison, and Babbage merge with the Pinkertons and colonial politics. All of it maintains an outer facade of Victorian sensibilities, but on any deeper investigation it is as rotten as the worst parts of Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel London. Now take it all, make a civilization out of it, and run that civilization off city-sized power plants that are on the verge of absolute failure.
Steamfunk is everything that might be considered "steampunk," set in a dystopian world that is as much smog as it is steam and as much disease as it is discovery. It is a place of almost-panicked desperation, barely hidden by the thin shell of a "polite" society in decline. It is a universe decidedly in need of heroes, if you happen to know of any... (more)...
WAHOOOO!
Coal belching, steam clouded, pipe running adventure at its best.
Need I say more?
Yes, you do.
You need to say it to all your friends. You need to say it on every website you visit. And you need to say, "I own it."
:P
Just kiddin'! :D
Glad yer excited! We sure are!!!
It shall possess me (most likely before the end of this very day)
I assume "Topsies" who wrote this product.
Pipe monkeys like me aren't this talented. That's why we shovel coal for a living:P
Spend way too much time ROTFL I have noticed of late.
Go write more Untold.
PayPal account not working! Can't get Steamfunk fix!
Sorry to hear ShadowStalker, it will be worth the wait... way cool. Got mine a few hours ago and on first skim, wow what a great setting. Looking forward to delving in more detail, now just have to resist the temptation to read the Secrets section as I think one of the other GMs in the group is interested in running this.
Very glad you like it, rudded!! Please do a review if ya can...
Just downloaded it! I probably won't get a chance to look it over until the weekend, though.
@ Ashy - I used UP to purchase it. I just thought I'd let you know that I was charged correctly (1265-450=815 left), however when the actual Pay w/ Points box comes up, it was telling me that I had 2855 UP (or some such nonsense) when I was actually at 1265. You might want to have that debugged...
Have to wait until I get back home late tonight and try to figure out what is wrong with PayPal account. Very frustrated right now. I want this!:)
Thanks! Like I said, the correct amount was deducted from my account.
However, it was confusing that when I chose to Pay w/ points, it initially showed me as having far more points than I actually had (that could cause problems, unless you get a bonus when using that option). Once everything was done, it was fine.
Hey Ashy,
No promises, but I'm close to getting it read so I'll try to do a review soon. It will be a players review since I'm holding off reading the secrets section for a friend who want's to run it.
Rudedd, a review would be awesome!!!!
Shadowstalker, we're working on a Lulu version now, actually. ;)
Also, looks like we're up to #5 on the DrivethruRPG Hottest Small Press List - please spread the word!! :D
rudded - didn't you suggest a PbP game once? Maybe this would be a good opportunity? :)
Hey Shadowstalker,
Ohhh the temptation..... I would like to run this, but will need to wait to talk to a friend who may be running it for use live. If he has no problem with me reading the secrets section then I'll consider a pbp (albeit a relatively casual/slow paced one).
Let's do it on the Play by post boards. I may even have a little goodie to toss into the mix.
BTW, a review would be awesome if someone has the time! :D
Hey guys! Yeah, I've read the GM Secrets section. I'd recommend NOT reading it unless you're fantastic at not metagaming and if you have no qualms with spoiling surprises. Don't worry though. As a player, your experience will be better for having not read it, I can assure you.
Hey M3!
Seeing as how you helped write it, I'd hope you've read the whole thing! :P
Of course, does that mean that you're interested in running the proposed PBP? :P
BTW: I haven't had a chance to more than skim through SteamFunk, but it looks great!
...Diplomacy roll to persuade M3...
I rolled 1d20+5, the result is 16 = 16.
Gotta use those powers where you got them.
Story driven game here on teh boards would be great - we don't get togther enough.
Diplomatic w/ a Soul Boost of 3!
I'm all for a story driven game, with Dennis' suggestion of a slower pace. :)
OK in anticipation of possibly running and/or reviewing this, I have printed out a copy with nice color cover and maps and am off to have Kinko's to get bound it while I work on Christmas shopping.
I should be talking to my friend tonight, hopefully I'll have a better idea tomorrow about the path forward.
I was hoping folks would wait til we get the Lulu copy ready... :P
Oh well. Enjoy it!

Battle Faction: Novus Europa released!
Counterpoint to the sprawling and slavering Churl hordes of post-Event Europe, the vast and growing empire of Novus Europa is a glimmering star in the night. Combining the symbolic images of armored knights of old with advanced-tech Power Armor, Rail Guns, and more the empire is Europe's only bastion of light, knowledge and hope! (more...)
Just ordered mine. Can't wait to get it. I'm really looking forward to all of the releases for the rest of the year. Especially the Iron Curtain, the Europa setting sounds like an absolute blast.
Howdy Ashy!
Looks cool!
BTW: The Store entry lists the deck as having: Race - Apoc Churl (6 cards). I'm guessing that this should read: Apoc High-bred (6 cards).
Cheers! :)
Thanks, rudded, for your excitement and kind words! Europe is gonna rock! :)
Thanks to you as well, TL, for finding my typo! +10 UP!
Tangent: Harvester (PFRPG) released!
Tangent - digressing suddenly from one course of action or thought and turning to another. Tangents are a line of simple, straightforward and super-awesome mini-adventures for your Pathfinder (or Untold) game! Designed to be easy to slip in between two adventures, in the middle of an existing adventure, or even to be used as the stepping off point for a brand new adventure, Tangents are "plug-and-play", "quick-and-dirty" RPG goodness!
Tangent: Harvester introduces your party to a small farming village that's been experiencing some odd harvesting of their fields amid the mist-filled nights. Only the party can help the beleaguered villagers to discover and then fend off the bizarre nocturnal march of the clockwork Harvesters! (more...)

But that's just what's there NOW... ;) Hope this helps!
