SD Races, Steampunk, and Wild West

Most People's Technology: 6: Industrial Revolution: Steam engines drive boats and land transportation, while steam-powered machinery replaces hand-manufacturing, allowing mass production of goods. Cures are found for some diseases. Electricity is utilized to a limited extent for communication and illumination. Typified by Europe and the U.S.A. of the 1800's.

Maximum Steam Technology: 7: Engineering Age: Internal combustion engines or electricity power most forms of transportation, including personal cars, war machines, and fixed-wing aircraft. Radio, television, suborbital rockets and small automatic weapons are developing. This is the late 19th century through pre-WWII 20th century, just before atomic escalation.

Skills: Athletics, Burglary, Contacts, Crafts, Deceive, Drive, Empathy, Fight, Investigate, Lore, Notice, Physique, Provoke, Rapport, Resources, Shoot, Stealth, Steamwork (Lore for steam technology), Will; [Element] (roll to cast spells; must choose Earth/Fire/Water/Wind), Light (Angels Only), Dark (Demons Only)

Scale: Large, but not quite Epic
Big Issues: A terrorist organization/gang known as High Water seeks to take power in Western Moxoen (Current Issue: "Hell or High Water Gang"); Heaven and Hell are dealing with political splinterings that will end up with many Angels and Demons on Medius (Impending Issue: "The Spheres Are Breaking")

Important Place: Nagren Province (holds about 70 small towns and the cities of Hargax and St. Ralish)

Faces and Places:
Place: Hargax City ("A No-Nonsense Justice System")
Place: St. Ralish ("Home to the Mountain Pass Railroad")
Place: Tiger Fang Mountain Range ("A Nigh Impassable Wall")
Place: Gordora Prairie ("My Kingdom For Shade and Water")
Place: The Dragon Sea ("The Province's End")
Place: Theodore's Mine ("Economic Lynchpin")
Face: Sojou the Terrible ("I Will Rule This Nation")
Face: Governor Theodore ("Too Swamped by Paperwork")
Face:
(This section incomplete)

Racial Stunts:

Flight: You can fly. Use Athletics to take advantage of this.


Inventions!

You may purchase an Invention Slot as you might a Stunt (and with Stunts if you desire!). A single Invention slot for a weapon might make a Weapon:2, while two slots would make a Weapon:3, three slots would make a Weapon:4, and so on. Armor would follow the same pattern.

For things such as bases, powered armor, and mobile bases, talk to the GM.

Using an invention costs 1 Fate point per scene; the GM can offer compels on these inventions if they would stop working and do some immediate (or long-term) harm.

Slots can be changed out for different devices at milestones. You can exchange 1 slot at a Minor Milestone, or all of them at a Significant or Major Milestone. You may also choose to halve a device's cost (round up if necessary) in order to have that device permanently; this represents your Magnum Opus or something else you're really proud of, and not willing to cannibalize for parts. They get an additional bonus, in that permanent Inventions can only be compelled by you willingly, if you need or want Fate Points. If the Invention somehow gets destroyed, however, you get a Fate Point per point of Stunt cost, but must spend time repairing it when you get a chance to do so safely.

Give the PCs plenty of problems, but give them a free hand in how they try to solve them. Use "yes, and", or "yes, but," or "roll the dice." But try to avoid "No." -- The Wyzard, dispensing valuable DM advice

In the vein of MtG "What Color Are You" quizzes.

I"m in! Will need help with a character. But the character will likely be a inventor/mad scientist
Crazy is relative
Insanity is the spice of life
You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in YOU!
I mean, hell, if we went back in time with a briefcase nuke and just glassed a section of the desert we'd be worshipped as omnipotent world destroyers a couple thousand years later.
