Well, Steampowers require a lot of DM interpretation, and furthermore, I don't think they were really meant to supplant magic. I mean, vancian magic is pretty much the strongest system in D&D with the most possibilities and exploits. Everything is underpowered in comparison.

I actually think Dragonmech's best strengths are its new classes and mechanics more than the actual setting. When I saw it, I was more immediately attracted to the rules for mechs and steam powers and engines, more than the rest. But I'm a very homebrew-exclusive kind of guy. Don't play any publish...

I was hoping the good folks here could offer me some advice on this: 1)We want the campaign to be mech-centric. There'll be relat...

Alright, thank you.

I just got the Dragonmech core book and I have to say I love the hell out of it. However I'm running into some confusion with Crew requirements for Mechs.
