4.0 out of 5 stars Nice steam-punk-victorian-role-playing-game, 7 Aug 2001

By	Francesc Montserrat Sanahuja (Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Barcelona Spain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the most exciting rpg's, if you like Steam Punk settings, you MUST owe it. The playing sistem is a wee bit difficult, but once played two or three times you'll love that book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing background, clunky rules, 6 Oct 2007

By	HeroPress "Acrobatic Flea" (The Fortress Of Solitude) - See all my reviews

In many senses, this is everything I ever wanted from a roleplaying game: fantasy, alternate history, steampunk and pulp qualities, sci-fi, world exploration and so on.

The idea of exploring alien cultures within our own solar system, flying steam-powered ships between the planets, hunting dinosaurs in the swamps of Venus, defending the British colonies on Mars, is the stuff gaming dreams are made of.

Unfortunately the rules mechanics are very clunky and archaic - which is a shame, because the game has incredible support material available for it (particularly in the form of the Transactions of the Royal Martian Geographical Society books) that make you realise its enormous potential for long-term campaigning (always a point of personal importance to me when selecting a game).
