[Gateway] Tell me more

Elsewhere Ben was talking about promoting Gateway and someone, Graham I think, asked him about it. I thought I'd start a new thread to talk about the game in more detail as I'm kinda curious, but unsatisfied by his answer! So, humour me if you will, Ben!

1. You talk about the drama resolution system and it structuring scenes - how does it do that, and why is it a good thing?

[Conpulsion] Children's games

Okay, I've tried to broach this subject on two different threads, but it seems to not be as pertinent to those topics as I thought.

So, Joe M. and I both like the idea of running some games geared specifically towards kids. Anyone else interested?

Would it be better to run those as a part of the standard Con (if possible) or part of the GOD? I know a few kids that are likely to show up that I work with, who really enjoy RPGs but never get to play them with me. So we'd have a few players, just from me.

Games

It's all about games when it comes down to it. Below are listed recently published games by collective members:

It also includes a fully playable quick start ruleset for Pulp! A skirmish wargame of two-fisted action.

The essence of steampunk?

Malcolm Craig's picture

So I've been doodling around with ideas for doing a small, seampunk style game. First off, I've never actually believe that steampunk exists at all as a literary sub-genre, but that's another matter. It's a handy tag to use fr this, because everyone pretty much has an idea what it means.

So, in single words or short setences, what do you see as the essence of steampunk? I'll start things off:

Revolution
Brass
Smog shrouded cities
Babbage computers
Frock coats

Cheers
