REVIEW:
Whilst there’s been roleplayers for years dressing as fantasy Barbarians or otherworldly creatures such as Orcs, Goblins or even skeletons, one of the more recent trends has been the addition of Steampunk, where the elegance of Victoriana meets cog work science. It’s quirky, there’s plenty of things that can be done and theres even some wonderful PC’s out there that allow you to have that special elegance within your own home.
This title by Jema, will help you create some additional fashionable creations for your character or a little something quirky to help you stand out in a crowd. It’s fun, it has tips and tricks and the sheer volume of projects within will allow you to get a full flavour of the scene, enough to create your own pieces. Its inspirational, it has something for everyone and the sheer availability of a lot of the key pieces will have you wondering round junk shops for ages. All in a great piece of fun and definitely something that I know a lot of people will have fun with.
