Castle Falkenstein

Basic Information

Castle Falkenstein is an RPG setting published by R. Talsorian combining Victorian Era Steampunk, swashbuckling adventure, and magical fantasy. Magic races such as elves and dwarves are blended together with steam-powered Vernesian uber-tech and placed in a world of international intrigue.

Although suffering a bit from a tendency to throw everything but the kitchen sink, and a quirky card-based game mechanic which is definitely an acquired taste, the game provides a rich setting for Steampunk Era fantasy.
