We’ve been writing about Steamworks for several months now. It’s the 165-page ultimate guide to introducing technology to your fantasy setting. Our first title under our new Silven Crossroads fantasy imprint offers classes, skills, feats, devices, prestige classes, and more. You’ve probably read the designer’s journal, and you’ve even maybe seen a preview. Now you can bring a little steam to your own game.

The Standard edition comes with both a printer-friendly PDF and a fully illustrated PDF. The “full” PDF is hyperlinked with hundreds of cross references to help you quickly find the information you need.

This special edition is ideal for running on a laptop in a tabbed browser, as it allows you to keep several sections of the book easily accessible all at once. If a laptop isn’t your thing, consider that it also means Steamworks is easily accessible and readable from your PDA. (Click on the thumbnail for a larger image.)

Steamworks is available from our own Midnight Cellar (which of course we’d prefer), or as part of your shopping at DriveThruRPG, RPGNow, and soon from e23.

So that’s what I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. I’m excited by the HTML edition. That’s a first for us, and I see a lot of utility in it. Brendan did a first-class job on the CSS for it. Anyway, while I do still have a few bits left to do for Steamworks, regular blogging should resume. I easily have a week’s worth of posts in my brain, so hopefully I’ll have the time to get them typed in before their memory allocation expires.
