Steam Tales is a cozy craftsmanship RPG set in the last known city – sealed under a dome for over a hundred years, ever since the world outside ended. Cut off from everything, its people didn’t just survive. They built a self-sustaining economy, a working society, a culture of their own – not without its struggles. And all of it runs on crystals: magic remnants of the ancient gods who once ruled the world, each type powering something different – machines, fields, light itself.
The city draws on the industrial architecture of Łódź – red-brick factories, tenements, workshops – and is built to feel like a place that actually works: a real economy, real routines, neighbors who live their own lives whether you’re watching or not. You are one of the last true craftsmen left. Take commissions, gather materials, work the forge with your own hands, and watch the city change around what you make. A story-driven campaign full of hard choices runs through it all – and some losses are permanent.
