Arcanum: of Steamworks and magick obscura

This game will take place in the world of Arcanum.
This is a setting that looks like Middle earth if it had gone through an industrial revolution, or alternatively like victorian England if it had Half-ogres as bodyguards, Orcs as factory slave labour, and magick users.

We will be using a modified version of the new world of darkness storytelling system, you will be playing as mortals but you need not be human, you can also choose to play as Half-Orcs, Half-Ogres, Elves, Half-Elves, Dwarfs, Gnomes or Halflings. All of the races have some benefits and drawbacks except for humans who are vanilla nWoD mortals.

I have also added a Magick system and a magick/technology aptitude scale, magick and tech are opposed in the world of arcanum so if you are good at one you will be bad at the other( for example if a powerfull mage uses a pistol it is likely to explode in his hands)

I tried to make the races and magick/tech balanced, and I feel I did the setting justice at least in concept, but if some numbers need tweaking we will amend them on the fly.Apart from the Races and Magick/technology the rules will be largely the same as nWoD

Your character backgrounds are yours to make however you choose, but you will all be starting out as watchmen in the city of Tarant on your first day at work. Just try not to minmax and feel free to read up a bit on the lore of the setting.

I will be posting the magick system and races either in the forum below or as a download. The spells and races will all be basically the same as in the PC game Arcanum only tweaked for nWoD

If you have any questions or want to join make a topic below. I would like to play weekly but this is flexible.
