Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk with ramblings about Aeronefs, Dirigibles, Land Ironclads, Anarchists, Dinosaur Hunting, Terranefs, Aquanefs, Mad Scientists, and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make sense, but there will be claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"

Heavy Steam
Over on Kickstarter is an interesting looking project called Heavy Steam
Heavy Steam is a steampunk
themed strategy and resource management game that uses mechs called steam titans in miniature based combat
Set in a steampunk universe, Heavy Steam
is a game about piloting a giant mechanical humanoid war machine of
doom. As a pilot you use the steam titan’s resources to strategically
complete scenario objectives. More often than not it’s to defeat your
opponent, but you’ve never shied away from a fight, have you?
- In Heavy Steam you play the role of a pilot controlling your steam titian’s systems from the command center inside its head.
- Fully customize your steam titan: choose a robot, recruit your pilot, then customize with weapons of your choice.
- Plan ahead if you want to power your legs, weapons or other systems.
- The battle board is abstracted with easy to master combat.
- Event cards, terrain cards and other cards keep the game fresh and new every time you play.
