For so many mortals, life is but a mundane existence. They glide through it like zombies, wishing the world was full of magic and mystery but believing in their hearts that it is not. If only they knew how their senses deceive. For all around them, celestial forces battle one another. The sons of light and the sons of darkness engage in an endless struggle over their everlasting souls, and more nefarious creations lie in wait to devour all that is good in the world. Children of Fire is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) that lets you explore this ethereal world. In it, the players create angels who battle over the souls of the living. You'll pit yourself against demons, sorcerers, and other unholy emanations. But saving mankind is not always about direct conflict. Often these games center around difficult moral dilemmas, and the characters are often forced to confront their own frailties and imperfections. Children of Fire is a story-focused, combat-light game where players are angels battling for human souls, straining the shackles of predetermination, and struggling with their own immortality. Originally published over a decade ago as a popular web site, and later crowd-funded via Kickstarter.com, this all new edition features revised rules and 112 pages of stunning, full-color art. The book includes both the Children of Fire core game and the Children of Clay expansion, which provides rules for creating and playing mortal PCs.

Welcome to a world of mad, inspirational wonders and wild scientific theory wrapped in fog, run by gears, and lit by gaslight. Steampunk is a venue for adventure, no doubt about that, with science and technology unhindered by the laws of physics, societal norms from any culture past, present or future, and only as much historical accuracy as fits the whims of the moment. It is, simply put, a realm where anything is possible under the guise of skimming whatever we want from an idealized - or grossly imperfect - version of the 19th Century. Uber RPG: Steampunk provides all the tools and background you need to enter this retro-futuristic universe with just as much potential for light hearted adventure as it has for deep dives into the psyche of a dark and harshly split world.
