I felt that sort of made sense when I wrote them. I haven't looked at the system in ages though. I'm happy to see such huge fan support. Its that I can become a Vampire just by switching an engine instead of leveling for a long time. The 'Mech making system is relativly (cough, very) complicated. W...

big floating heads with eyes on tentacles that shoot magic rays. Which comes from a realm is distorted reality where looking at it drives you insane and warps the flesh into mockeries of life. So No, you don't get a cookie. I said that that can be ignored for the sake of fluff, Im more concerned ab...

First off, there's now an increased chance of getting hit by a large and severely damaging meteor. The advantage of city-mechs is fitting a lot of people into a small surface area, making it hard to get hit. Even if we ignore this, more of the city-mech is going to be hit by the small stuff, increa...

2) What the hell is wrong with non-magical force fields? It works in sci-fi all the time. And what is steampunk? Retro sci-fi. Hello? Mechs? Or The Time Machine? If it doesn't have technology we don't/can't have, it's not sci-fi. It's not steampunk. It seems like something from Gundam or NGE, not a...

If bat droppings make a fireball spell possible, why couldn't steam make a magic force field possible? Because its part of the Arcane Ritual which activates the Spcific keys to cast a spell. Steam has to either replicate the same arcane magic activations Or be so advanced that steam would lack the ...

As a casual observer, and not having played DragonMech, I imagine that the world of DragonMech is powered in large part by steam, since that is the milieu (Steampunk/Fantasy). So why wouldn't some magic be powered by steam, too? Wha? First off: Magic being Steampunk powered? Wha? Two: Because magic...

How can you make a force field using steam power? How can you make a fireball with bat guano, words, and gestures? It's fantasy. *shrug* Its Magic. Its a mystical and very powerfull powersource that uses ingredients to activate ripples in reality. Steam is heated water that rises and can create lot...

Welcome to steampunk. Really, that's the whole basis of the genre: futurstic stuff in an anachronistic setting. I'll return with my own question: who says you have to invent solar panels before you invent force fields? Think about everything we have today: did it all have to be invented in that ord...

Oh...Still though, you get my point? Its supposed to represent pre industrialization era.

Oh, that was just rhetorical. I knew they answered that.

I meant like lightbulbs, Solar panels, stuff like that.

Just that thier barely into steam powered engines yet they already can make forcefields.

Im glad that Dragonmech seems to have allot of people willing to support the system, so here are some things I noticed: Overlapping Powers: Allot of Steam Powers/ Steam Engines seem to overlap: Like the Rotor arm and the wheel/Fan. If I already have a rapidly spinning mechanism, then why do I need s...
