This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Benoist;326196You are talking about this OGL Steampunk product, correct?
Do you need d20 Past to make this book work, or is it a stand-alone product?
I don't know anything about it.

It's a stand alone product. I really liked the races and how they captured a 19th century 'imperial' feel with the classes. You can play 'animal men', constructs (flesh, wood or metal), ghosts, vampires, dwarves or humans. The classes are sort of generic adventurers with different life path options. They also have a neat 'spiritualist' feel to psionics and magic. The flavor fiction is also quite good. I really enjoyed just reading the book.

Cool. Thanks, Stu2000, Tetsubo. :)

We did mention Space 1889 on this thread, but didn't mention that it is going to resurface on LGS shelves with a Savage Worlds iteration pretty soon. Anybody knows anything about it?
