Attention 2 people who actually read this board!!
Lewd Beholder and myself are working on a "future" version of the Palladium Fantasy RPG where gunpower is in wide use and steam power is just beginning to be perfected. It is culturally, historically, and technologically as wide-spread in a post-medieval sense as PF is in a medieval/Roman sense encompassing a general period of roughly 1500-1850. Guns are mid to late 1700's level of technology and steam is just beginning to be felt. We call it New Horizons and hope to have properly captured all the diversity and fun of the original PF campaign world with a new twist.
Features:
* Gunpowder rules and new weaponry
* Steam power
* Mechno-Wizardry; a steam-punkish precursor to TW
* An Age of Exploration and Colonization, including a "new world", and the swashbuckling world of merchantilism and piracy that goes with it
* All the nations of the PF world "modernized" to reflect the changes. Great for some, bad for others
* Cut-throat diplomacy and intrigue
So, my question to you all is: "Would you play this?" and if so, "What additions or changes would you like to see?".

Excellent...  Please ask your RP groups and see what they have to say. Any submitted stuff to PB is a gamble of time and effort...and playing with Kevin's baby (PFRPG) is an ultra-gamble...so any input that might help sway LB or I on this is appreciated... |

Never thought about it being Kev's baby.
Maybe you should think about going with a new world or a Rifts Dimension Book.

I've strongly considered that...I've seen too many times that Kev loves his babies so much he'll smother them to death rather than let them fall into the "wrong hands" (see SoT, LoD)  Not the Rifts though...I don't want to make it MDC... |

I love early firearms and tech.
I'd be interested to see what you guys have been up to.
Woo Hoo! Gunpowder misfire tables here I come.

MDC is not necessarily a prerequisite. Look at Scraypers. Just some conversion notes and a "for HU and Rifts". |

Like Slag Said we are working on this project
Some of the hardest stuff is kinda done already. The black powder rules are done, and a lot of the history and other info are completed.
This is more a fun project for me, and while I would prefer it published, it isn't totally necessary
Still, it's good to keep busy while I'm waiting for my own great pumpkin known as Africa II.
plus I've managed to get my hands on a few "resources" that are going to help us with the large mechanical devices.
