The Invention and Tinkering system is coming along and should be along for people to see shortly. I remember I was at a LARP about 15 years ago and we had a barrel some hose a bellows and a mithril rod. We wanted to fill the barrel with the LARP equivalent of a Molotov Cocktail and then use the bellows to shoot them out of the mithril barrel at people.
In essence we wanted to make a dwarven flamethrower. We where told no, even though we could through the Molotov Cocktail potions by hand and do the same thing we wanted to do with a really cool looking dwarven prop. It made me angry...
The Invention and Tinkering system is designed to give rules to the absurdly awesome Rube Goldberg devices, steam powered backpacks, chronoscoping eye monocles and other fantastic pieces of steamvention that people design to make themselves look thematic and cool. It will let you make your revolver better, your ornithopter faster and even let you make major scientific breakthroughs that revolutionize the scientific world.
A major part of steampunk is the discovery and use of steamtech, and we aim to make it an important part of the system.
