New Europa
Castle Falkenstein GURPS (3rd Edition)
Mythology / Folklore (Fairy Tales) Steampunk Fantasy History (Victorian Era)
The game is set in the world of New Europa, a label which is sometimes applied to the Old Continent, sometimes to the whole planet, during the Age of Steam, or the 1870s. The world resembles our own, with a number of major variations: the denizens of Faerie do exist and mingle with humans, with whom they have struck an uneasy alliance. Creatures and beasts from myth and legend exist, as do a number of characters that are considered fictional in our world. Magic works, and has allowed technology to stretch in unexpected directions. The game introduces Engine Magic which helped propel the Renaissance via a magically enabled Industrial Revolution. These subtle changes to New Europa's history has made it quite divergent from our own history.
