Destiny of Steam and Steel To the Moon http://www.charke.ca/DSS/ToTheMoon72small.jpg I'm planning on continuing my game Destiny of Steam and Steel here on the Goodman Games forums with the introduction of a new story arc, a mission to the moon! As part of the game, I will ask, encourage and assist ...

Shoots himself thinking about the mechanical logistics....

Destiny of Steam and Steel To the Moon http://www.charke.ca/DSS/ToTheMoon72.jpg DSS: To the Moon "A king's ransom to the one who can build a device capable of reaching the moon and taking the battle to the heart of the lunar menace." It wasn't a sign, so much as a billboard, the words pai...

I think Steam Warriors did a lot for steamborgs. The PrC's that Dieter mentioned in Steam Warriors are really good (with the exception of the lunarborg or necroborg, IMO), emphasizing stealth, combat, psionics, or even crazy animal cybernetics. Ah pride. Those are the steamborg prestige classes I di...

On a side note I'm trying to decide what to do with the game. I've either got to reorganize how I post or shut it down. Posting once every three weeks or so, as I have been doing, is just too slow. I think, perhaps, if I changed my subscription method to daily reports, that would help. I would know ...

Destiny of Steam and Steel Halt Neddirpik slowly comes to a halt. Metal grinds and wines and complains but stops moving. The great shadow is cast upon it's former inhabitants who are starting to realize what almost happened. Time stands still. It's over. Goy shudders in his death throws, simply not...

No check is nessesary.

....er good luck with that feather fall eh? Most famous character death in my group: My pyro mage collapsed an old dungeon with a fireball (darn structure rules from 2.0). The passage collapsed three levels and we got hurt. Some wights rose up, as we were now in the 3rd level of the dungeon! A good ...

Destiny of Steam and Steel Death Music Red crystals roar around in a circle. They bite and chew. They tear through muscle and pull up strands of green flesh. The blade stops for a moment before Robert pulls. He yanks and hurls himself back, pulling the blade out. It revs up again. It digs and cuts....

Destiny of Steam and Steel The Heart It would be difficult to encapsulate the heart in a force bubble. The heart is the size of a small house and there are many veins, arteries and even metalwork comming off it. "Gods protect us, what in highpoint is that?!" he squeaks out, taking a step ...

We'll be continuing in Chapter 5: The Other Side of the Door.

Should have posted this sooner to trigger your auto-emails. Whoops.

The adventure, Just a Delivery, contains a few critical tables taken from the core book required for character generation which are different from character generation for core D&D. You might consider including those.

My players are vets and always bring strong characters to the table when I playtest. The death count for playtests has always been very low except one evening when I forced them to play characters drawn from works I have written. I needed some PC's in a hurry and just printed them out. It was surpri...

Destiny of Steam and Steel The Other Side of the Door Music http://www.charke.ca/DSS/Heart%20of%20Neddirpik.jpg The door swings open onto the scene from a National Geographic doctor's opperation. It should be a maze of pipes, gears and steam. Giant pistons should be hissing. Metal should shriek und...

It's my turn for appologies. Telus - the future could be friendlier - deleted my internet account in an account-name mix up. Then they promised us their "new" service and I've been down for five days. I finished a book this month for Louis J. Porter Design, I'm editing Kobolds of Frostwind...

Because of your interest in the book, I asked Joseph Goodman and he gave me permission to post all the material that was cut from the book. I was contracted to write 30 000 words for the book and produced 44 000 words. I've compiled this cut material and put it on my own website for download. If I'm...

I wrote the Complete Guide to Vampires. The Base Attack Bonus +7 and Saves: Ref +6 requirements should be dropped entirely. On my first draft of the book I gave the vampire races Attack Bonuses and Save Bonuses. As I recall the standard vampire would have had a fighter base attack bonus and a good R...

Destiny of Steam and Steel Run Music Hammer ran through dark red shadows of nightmare. He was not himself. He was. There was nothing. There was everything. His mind was a blur, distorted, tortured. Things loomed in shadows noticed and gone. He remembered family. He remembered wife. He remembered lo...

Cheers, good luck with it!

I'm just raving because after countless hours of work I've managed to get a proper set of message boards working over on my site. They represent a huge amount of work. I made a ranking system with custom graphics and, well, I might have borrowed a few ideas from over here actually... http://www.char...

So when are you going to write something serious, like a novel?" It's about that time that I reach for my lightsaber, realize it's a masterwork's replica and reach for the bloody wooden sword instead!Wooden swords are a lot cheaper and because they won't just shatter, much more capable of infl...

Destiny of Steam and Steel A Door, Some Knobs and a Clock Work Puppet The door is easy enough to clear. Nothing is happening around you so you've got plenty of time. The door is clear and not locked and probably not trapped. You can open it any time you want. None of the gauges appear to be out of ...

There is no good answer to your question. I guess you could say the walls vibrated and spoke. Perhaps Nedderpik is talking to you....
