    Nikola Tesla needs you!

    Do you enjoy Victorian Society and Sensibilities?

    Do you enjoy all things electrical and steam?

    Do you find yourself drawn to haberdashery, corsets, monocles and very fine beards?

    Are you secretly in love with zeppelins, trains and other means of conveyance?

    If so, please come and join us over at the Age of Spark, Steam and Steel.


    Take on a role within the Duodeviginti Telum Congregatio (or Eight Arms Society for those who prefer not to remember that Latin mouthful) and help save the Victorian Age from those who would seek to delay progress, stifle enlightenment and quash all things scientific.

    Roles are first come, first serve.

    I would like to pick up two more people for this Steampunk style game. It is a beginner game, so anyone, no matter your skill or perceived skill is welcome. No posting minimum and an active mystery plot with nifty tinkerings and what not.

    Available Characters! They have no personality, only the barest sketch of a history, no likes or dislikes and are just waiting for a player to take them on. Do you want to play a Feisty Gunslinger? Or perhaps a Gunslinger with a bit of a romantic side and a love for all things cute? Maybe a Wild Spark Engineer? Or perhaps the Spark Engineer is a Snooty, Know-it-All with a penchant for fine clothes and hats?

    It is up to you.

    The positions above are still available. With just one more player, we will start the game. If you want to change the hobbies or would like a different secondary expertise, i am open to suggestions.
