Fistful of Lead: Glorious Adventures in the Age of Steam

It is truly a wondrous age! It seems a new invention destined to change the world is created every day. Babbage’s Analytical Engine has transformed modern mathematics and made complex calculations capable of changing the world. Edison’s Aether ships ply the space ways making interplanetary travel a daily occurrence. Tesla has made electric power plentiful, and advances in steam technology have made the impossible possible. Of course, none of these advances in science would be possible without the discovery of X-Matter in 1869. When this miracle element is combined with other substances it can make metals lighter and stronger, and make fuels burn hotter. Even members of the occult societies claim X-Matter has a mystical effect on reality itself. All this new technology has quickly found its way to the battlefield. Soldiers march to war resplendent in their colorful uniforms, armed with the newest, deadliest weapons. And the march to war beside monstrous, steam belching machines; airships, armored walkers, submersibles and landships. Glorious Adventures in the Age of Steam is a standalone game. People who already own a Fistful of Lead game will notice the core mechanics are unchanged. In this book you’ll find new equipment, weapons and exotic new locations with lists of inhabitants both friend and foe.
