I personally think the lack of information about the
actual mechanics behind steampunk devices was a
ridiculously huge oversight on Pinnacle's part, as
opposed to a giant glowing 'suspend disbelief -
nothing to see here' sign. The reason I made the post
in the first place was because I felt that the 'steam'
part of steampunk was important. Call me crazy. I, as
well as all of my players, actually prefer a bit of
realism in my games - that's why I actually care about
things like steam, mechanics and the law of gravity.
If I wanted to suspend my disbelief, I'd go and play
RIFTS.
