Steamfunk: An Untold Mini Campaign Setting
$5.00
UP: 500
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...

Stalked, Part 5
His vision seared by tears from the overwhelming fragrance, the private could almost see eddies of rainbow colors swirling around her spider-silk throne. He wanted to drink in all the imagery of her and her home before rising above his mortal stature to her blessing, the promise of being and being hers eternally. He noticed in detail her unfathomable mystery, the delicate graces of her ivory arms at work across the fabric of life and death, pulling timeless significance from pale thread. He saw her lithesome and marvelous form, in perfect contentment and harrowing desire. He noted her slender crown and thoughtfully crafted throne.
And there, nestled along the hem of her great dais he saw what he had missed in focusing on her overpowering presence. Neatly set into the base were rows of skulls, cross-stitched with bones. He felt sure they were the remains of men, suitors in a dreadful procession of desire and loss. Her increased pitch and pounding wave of aroma corresponded with his horror, seeking to send his alarm into forgetful romance. She shifted her lovely being, raised a clawed but tender hand toward him, inviting him to look past the gruesome foundation to the adoring crown.
"Come, cherished...we are meant to share what they could not bear."

Fanonical? What?
Fanonical posts are a new thing here at Untoldthegame.com, and as far as we know, something new to RPG's in general. We've talked about our Open Campaign Setting from "Day 1" around here, but we've not made much fuss of it so far. Well, that's about to end...
Basically, "fanonical" is a word we've coined based on the term canonical. Something that is canonical, or canon, is something that is accepted as being the truth or the "way that it is". In RPG's, something that is "canon" is something that has been "blessed and sanctioned" by whomever owns the IP. For instance, if you know anything about the Dresden Files RPG, you know that Dresden is a guy, not a girl - stuff like that is "canon".

UP: 150
A new era for Mutants and Masterminds (3e) and Untold begins here!
Ignitus Innovation, Inc. has released Races of Splintered Serenity™: High-bred, the first in their line of setting conversion products; find the information on this product below:
In the shattered reality that is Splintered Serenity™, the Apoc High-bred are the last bastions of human society. Genetically engineered humans, their ancestors were long ago blessed with traits and powers that made them much more than human. When the world-shattering Event occurred, this blessing became the only thing that kept them alive. Now, only the Apoc - of all humankind - survive in the blasted, post-apocalyptic world of Post-Event Earth. The High-bred are the only ones who even try and maintain a measure of order and civilization. Only through their dogged determination, their uniquely crafted gear and their genetic superpowers are they able to make a stand against the ravages of a world gone to hell.
Elijah Hassan
Elijah Hassan was the stereotypical battle scarred veteran. Beginning his service in the IDF when he was just in his teens, Hassan had served as a ranger and tracker for nearly thirty years. A member of the elite Hammer of Heaven corps, there were few things Hassan hadn't seen and fewer he hadn't killed. Covered in countless scars from countless battles, Sergeant Hassan was a legend among the IDF, even refusing promotion so that he could continue to focus solely on killing the creatures that threatened the IDF. Knowing the Israeli countryside like the back of his hand, Hassan was renowned for hunting down, rooting out, and killing more hostiles than any other IDF member. But everything was about to change for Hassan.
Stalked, Part 4
He glided silently along the vacant halls, his movements smooth and direct. The slithering halls and vaulted rooms slid past in a stead succession. About twenty minutes into his intuitive path the atmosphere changed subtly. He felt more aware, his senses heightened by an invisible but powerful presence in the air. His skin bristled on its own accord and his breathing shallowed. Some primal function of his being mixed anticipation and fear into a heady mix, which grew as he moved further through the queen’s manor. It was as though smokeless incense burned along his throat and nerves, creating an ethereal longing that made him aware of his own mortality. Life and death hung in the windless air.
At last, the vision of the endless catacomb receded at a gossamer curtained entrance. Twin braziers of spectral flame warded the entrance, living fires that impressed vigilance and discretion on all under their grey-blue light. A haunting, beautiful music called to him from beyond the veil, causing his heart to ache for everything blissful in the broken worlds. The invigorating aroma further spurred him to move under the lamps’ revealing illumination, through the soft caresses of the silk partitions, into the hall of the Weaver of Despair. The room was striking, with its narrow base and widening sloped walls that curved into a magnificent dome. Dazzling iridescent threads wove a dizzying pattern overhead, the queen’s own design, her private home. Ornamental cocoons, exotic baubles, and hidden clefts adorned the overhanging rooms, a veritable inner manor within her catacomb kingdom.
