D20 Steampunk Setting? Does one exist?

[Stomphoof]

So I am trying to find a good Steampunk based D20 Campaign setting / system. But I personally have been unsuccessful in my search. Does anyone here have any suggestions for a Steampunk styled D20 system or setting?

And if you do, why do you like / dislike that particular system?

I believe Etherscope from Goodman Games is a steampunk type setting. I have not played it, but Goodman Games has a good reputation, so it may be worth checking out.

Hm, well there're these. . .

Iron Kingdoms (Privateer Press)
OGL Steampunk (Mongoose Publishing)
Sorcery & Steam (Fantasy Flight Games)
Steam & Steel (EN Publishing)

. . . and probably many others.


edit --- it might also be worth your while checking out the reviews section of this site, as well as others (at RPGnet, f'rex.)

Has anyone played or used any of the above systems? OGL Steampunk looks decent, and I am checking out the others as I go.

I played in a WoW RPG game using a troll barbarian, our party had a goblin techno guy and we encountered some big battle suits. It was fun but I couldn't tell you about the specifics, I only own the monster and gazeteer books for the game.

Sorcery and Steam PDF by FFG is a dirt cheap good price for a pdf of a 176 page hardcover.

Iron Kingdoms has coal powered steam jack pseudo mecha and gunpowder in a D&D setting with tons of descriptively neat monsters (I own the two monster books).

Doomstriders is mass combat and D&D Mecha of various kinds, not really my thing though I read all of it for a review in Pyramid.

I noticed the dirt cheap price of Sorcery and Steam and I know I am gonna get that PDF. I just need to make sure I can download a copy both here at work and at home of the PDF before I buy it.

I have the WoW RPG system but I also happen to play WoW normally and don't really wanna do that on the table top I have enough WoW as it stands.\


Etherscope sounds very interesting! Has anyone messed around with that?

While I haven't played it, I've purchased everything for it and it is quite neat. My only issue is that, while d20, is not d20 fantasy, or d20 modern. It's sort of in the middle. It uses most of d20 modern, but has it's own base classes. Either way, it is a great book for inspiration of a steampunk game even if you don't use the RAW.

Steampunk Musha is also very neat, but a little 'too fantasy' for my tastes.
