Over the last few months, I've been musing over and planning out the background story and game world for my Steam and Aether project. To compliment the miniatures that I have sculpted, I wanted to create a new setting, separate from traditional Victorian Sci-Fi and still different from the newer and established Steampunk settings. So with the concepts and story all set out, I decided to approach a professional writer to coalesce my imaginings into a solid back story. Mark Latham has done a marvelous job translating my ideas, approaching the subject matter with great enthusiasm. I'll be publishing the back story over the next week on my blog, starting from Tuesday the 15th. I hope everyone that decides to follow it enjoys what we have created. The next stage is the continued development and playtesting of the Steam and Aether ruleset. If you want to stay abreast of what I've got coming, then please follow the blog and I'll keep you all updated.
