Steampunk or Clockpunk? Take your pick!
Abney Park's Airship Pirates RPG is an exciting, cinematic game based on the songs of renowned Seattle-based steampunk band, Abney Park. Featuring glorious full-colour artwork, Airship Pirates takes you into the alternate post-apocalyptic world of 2150. Join the crew of a pirate airship as it sets sail from the flying cities of the Skyfolk, high above a beast-haunted wilderness criss-crossed by the trails of the Neobedouin tribes and the squalid Neovictorian cities of the dreaded Emperor Victor Hypocrates III. Fire broadsides at your enemies! Loot the technology of a lost age! Travel in time! Whether you're a disgraced air navy captain, a clockwork courtesan, a nomadic beast dancer, or any one of countless other professions, it's a pirate's life for you!
Clockwork & Chivalry 2nd Edition is a grim and gritty game of mud, blood, mayhem and magick, set in an alternate 17th century England plunged into civil war. As Oliver Cromwell and his gigantic clockwork war machines fight against the cavalier-alchemists of Prince Rupert, ordinary folk struggle for survival, split into a myriad political and religious factions. Magickal pollution taints the land, waking creatures long dismissed as legends; obsessive scientists make wild discoveries; crazed inventors create mad machines. In a world where every man is against his brother, can you and your fellow adventurers, armed only with musket, sword and magick, hold back the tide of war? Now featuring the Renaissance rules system, the 2nd Edition Core Rulebook is a complete game in itself, and will will be supported by numerous supplements in 2012.

Review!
There’s a very nice review of Clockwork & Chivalry Core Rulebook 2nd Edition by Rory H. over on RPGNow.com!
“If you were a fan of the first two editions of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, then you’ll love this. The OpenQuest based rules are well modeled to the genre, and this really is a meaty, well laid out book. There is a rich vein of British black humor, some thoughtful magic systems (Alchemy, Witchcraft and Clockwork inventions), and the society of the setting is well illustrated through a multitude of Career choices, and political factions. The history of the English Civil war is also well researched, although I must stress this is very much a fantasy setting, rather than a pure historical game. With some good adventures in the back to get going, and a set of Campaign supplements that are on a par with Warhammer’s Enemy Within campaign, there is a lot of fun to be had in this game. I only wish they could have called it something a bit more dramatic sounding…..like Warhammer, f’rinstance….”
