This is the 2013 Kickstarter edition, not the original. The original was one of the first RPGs I ever bought, but I never got to play it: there weren’t very many people around to play with at the time, and none of them wanted to do Victorian steampunk. Of course, I’m old enough to remember when ‘steampunk’ meant something like The Difference Engine, instead of the bronze, wood, and zeppelin stuff we have now. Mind you, I like both: certainly Space: 1889 is a prime example of the more adventurous form of the genre. But steampunk got away from the literary types pretty freaking quick.
Anyway, check it out.
I’ve still got my copy of “Sky Galleons of Mars”…
