Rather than a thread to roleplay in, I decided to try one about steampunk roleplaying. I have heard of something called Etherscope, but know nothing about it.
My resident DM is looking into running a few sessions of Return to Castle Falkenstein, which is a kind of set of mishmashed cameos from Victorian authors, inventors, and celebrities, as well as their fictional characters. So, for example, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, Sherlock Holmes, Oscar Wilde, and Captain Nemo all exist simultaneously. It's a kind of steampunked high fantasy. Also, you play with a normal deck of playing cards.
I intend to play either a guttersnipe orphan "matchstick girl", or a daring female spy...

Why not a fey? Castle falkinstein is what started me to Steampunk. I have the book for refferacne. whee
The card aspect is what turns me off from playing it, but it is a very good read.

Ponkotsu Roman Daikatsugeki Bumpy Trot (Steambot Chronicles)
Steampunk Mech sandbox-style game.
It's kinda what got me more interested in the steampunk culture.

Several Final Fantasy games are very steampunk, but the one that did it for me was the tales series. . . symphonia and abyss have someg ood steampunk elements. . .

How about Call of C'tulhu? It could have a Victorian setting, although it's more horror than tech.

With the exception of Mylian's post, I don't know what any of these rpgs are. Is it like DnD? They sounded tabletop, but with cards? Egads

Mylian How about Call of C'tulhu? It could have a Victorian setting, although it's more horror than tech. C'thulhu by gaslight is fanntastic, both as an rpg (CoC always is) and as a Steampunk one, with the huge freedom llowed in the rules (yay BRP system). All you do is allow modern technology, but make it twice as unreliable and ten times the size.

Well, as someone who's been a gamer for ... eons ... (*sigh* I'm so old) I have been mostly disappointed with the lack of an easy-to-navigate steampunk RPG for tabletop or LARP. So after GenCon, I started working together with a small group of like-minded folks to develop my own steampunk game.
The hardest part has been trying to pin-down the rules for inventing. I don't want the scientists and mechanics to be uuber in comparison to the thieves, shopkeepers, and nobles.
I fear there's still quite a bit of work to do before we'll be ready to beta test, though if I can take my Christmas holiday and really buckle down on the narrative, then we may yet be able to meet our Spring '09 projected game-on date.
Perhaps this is a good place to ask for some opinions. If any of you are gamers who would be interested in such an adventure, what would you look for (be it in terms of the game system mechanics or options for characters or, well, really anything you have in mind)?
