Steampunk Musha is still alive

Hey folks,

Steampunk Musha is still very much active and this blog will just be a temporary home to the current progress and news about the setting until our new website is up and running.

So, what is going on with Steampunk Musha and what can we see here. Well, that's a lot of different info, so I'll break it down and show some of the stuff we are working on.


New System: I've been working on a new system for SM for several months now. This system is geared towards what I want in SM, but will be flexible enough to have additional rules content added and work for some other settings/genres from Empty Room Studios Publishing. The system is a D10 based system and will include a lot of the content from the OGL/D20 edition we worked on and the original edition from P.I.G.
In addition to these new rules (which I'm over 100 pages in writing) we'll have a redesign of a lot of the races and look of the setting. In fact, here is a little preview of some of the concepts for the races.

I'll also have some environment images to post soon along with tons of creatures.

Comicbook- I've secured the funds to start working on the SM comic we've had planned forever now. I wanted to do it myself, but just can't take the time with all I have going on. So, I'll be eventually looking for an artist to handle those chores. Alana Abbott will be writing the graphic novel sized first story arc and I'll be using my comic publisher contacts to shop the book around.

Short stories- We do have a collection of short stories ready to be published, but I'm sitting on them until we have some more content and the new site up. I hope to get a couple more collections of short stories worked on in the near future. I'm very happy with these and think they do a wonderful job bringing the setting details to life.

Steampunk Musha beyond - We do have several other things planned for SM. We most likely will do a boardgame version using our Dungeon Dwellers rule set as soon as we finish the revised version. We also have some miniature combat rules we are playtesting and possibly a CCG rule set. We'll have to see.

If you have any questions about anything SM related, feel free to comment and let me know. . . I'll answer.
