Fistful of Lead: Glorious Adventures in the Age of Steam

ADD TO WISHLIST >

It is truly a wondrous age! It seems a new invention destined to change the world is created every day. Babbage’s Analytical Engine has transformed modern mathematics and made complex calculations capable of changing the world. Edison’s Aether ships ply the space ways making interplanetary travel a daily occurrence. Tesla has made electric power plentiful, and advances in steam technology have made the impossible possible.

Of course, none of these advances in science would be possible without the discovery of X-Matter in 1869. When this miracle element is combined with other substances it can make metals lighter and stronger, and make fuels burn hotter. Even members of the occult societies claim X-Matter has a mystical effect on reality itself.

All this new technology has quickly found its way to the battlefield. Soldiers march to war resplendent in their colorful uniforms, armed with the newest, deadliest weapons. And the march to war beside monstrous, steam belching machines; airships, armored walkers, submersibles and landships.

Glorious Adventures in the Age of Steam is a standalone game. People who already own a Fistful of Lead game will notice the core mechanics are unchanged. In this book you’ll find new equipment, weapons and exotic new locations with lists of inhabitants both friend and foe. Your adventures may take you from the haunted back alleys of London to the majestic canals of Mars. Or are you more in the mood for a dinosaur hunt at the center of the Earth? It’s all right here.

You’ll be forming a Detachment. This is a special group of extraordinary adventurers out for glory, gold and whatever services are needed by a world in turmoil. You might be working for Her (or His) Majesty, trying to save the world or conquer it. Are you working for a strange occult society or a scientific expedition? The choice is yours.

Glorious Adventures in the Age of Steam is 3 books in 1:

  • Book I - Skirmishes in the Age of Steam
  • Book II - Bigger Battles in the Age of Steam
  • Book III - Airships in the Age of Steam

Yeah, Weird. It looks correct on my end but not showing up with correct title.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
