Description: While vacationers revel in the debauchery of the Bourbon Quarter, danger lurks in the shadows. Newport is a bustling city that, through planning, has managed to develop into the perfectly designed city. It is a city where it seems like everyone is partying in the streets for some festival or another.However, this is all a public show. Kept from the headlines are tent cities filled with the poor, walkers leaving their graves, and the increased unexplained deaths and disappearances. About SteamCraft: In the spirit of Gibson and Sterling's The Difference Engine, SteamCraft takes you to an alternate, dystopian world where gears, goggles, and airships dominate life. The Industrial Age is joined by an early Information Age, combining into a gritty world where corporations use technological advances to amass hordes of wealth and power at the expense of the working class. Meanwhile, technomages' ability to create by mixing magic with machine lurches ahead of their wisdom to control their creations and where scientific exploration is best done in coal powered airships venturing beyond the charted world maps.
