OGL Steampunk

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Imagine a world where computers were developed a century before their time, powered by levers and steam engines instead of microprocessors; a world where the zeppelin never went out of fashion and new technology made it safer and faster; where brave men and women explore a yet undiscovered world to find the wondrous ruins of lost civilisations; where the mysterious age of magic is slowly fading to usher in an age of cynical reason.

This is the world of OGL Steampunk, a shadowy amalgam of fantasy and science fiction devoted to marrying the possible with the improbable. OGL Steampunk investigates a fantastical past of magic and myth that incorporates the spirit of progress and exploration and translates it into stories of speculation, wonder and excitement, a world that might have been, had some of the world’s key events happened a little differently.

OGL Steampunk is dominated by strange technology and weird science, phenomena like electricity are beginning to be fully understood, steam and mechanics move most of the age’s machinery, and telecommunications are being born in the form of the telegraph. Technology, however, is either stylish and elegant or incredibly basic; brass tubes, wooden handles and incandescent lamps to replace fibre optics, touch screens and LEDs. Steam-powered cars roam the streets while monstrous airships crawl through the skies. All the while, the people lost through the cracks in the ‘modern world’ scratch out a living in the shadows of a concrete nightmare.

Against a backdrop of scientific progress, magic is a palpable reality that the heroes of the day must discover and contend with. Cultists seek to awaken the power of ancient races, alchemists use arcane formulae to power their infernal devices and creatures of legend walk alongside the human occupants of major cities, either adopting the science of the day or enslaved by it.

Dare you journey back to the smog-filled streets of a world that never was and yet, so easily, could have been.

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.
