Re: [DL] DL Background up to 1878 help

["RainGod _" <xotzil@hotmail.com>]

If you're wanting to go nuts with the steampunk, the three books you 
mentioned are good ones. The Agency book also has a couple of nifty gadgets 
in it, and is worth a read anyway. It gives a little more info on the 
Gamorra situation, as well as the Agency's "official" take on it.

Just for giggles, if you REALLY want to go gaga about the 'punk, you may 
want to get "Steam Age" and "Lost Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci" for 
Falkenstein if you can find them. There's some really good stuff in there 
that can easily be 'ported into DL.

If you're wanting more setting info about 1877, and into 1878, definitely 
get Black Circle, and the three adventures put out last year (Ghost Busters, 
Rain o'Terror and Dead Presidents). There is a rather Deadlands-shaking 
event that takes place at the end of Dead Presidents especially that you 
will want to be well informed about.

Hope that was helpful.
