No experience needed; just bring your imagination!
We will be updating the list of available games along with the schedule the closer we get to Steamcon. If you have a favorite

 Savage Worlds: Deadlands Reloaded
RPG by Pinnacle Entertainment
The year is 1876, but the history is not our own. Deadlands is a horrific journey into the "Weird West". Mysterious beings called the Reckoners have given life to monsters and magic, causing history to divert from July 4th, 1863 forward. The South has won its independence, California has shattered into a labyrinth of flooded sea-canyons, and a mysterious super-fuel called "ghost rock" has spawned as much war and strife as it has "steampunk" devices.
Players are steely-eyed gunfighters, card-slinging sorcerers called hucksters, mysterious shamans, savage braves, mad scientists, and more who battle against evil and attempt to prevent the "Reckoning".

Every player will be given a character, an infernal device, and a mission to stop Dr. Hellstromme's automated army in this fast-paced miniatures-based game.
Dead Men Walking

 Shock: Social Science Fiction
GM: Joe McDaldno
Build a science fiction world, and fight for your place in it. This game pushes the players to make stories that matter to them — stories about politics, philosophy, love, and death. It'd be fitting to add a Steampunk twist!
GM: Joe McDaldno
Perfect is a game about criminals within a steampunk dystopia. It’s a game about what makes them tick, the crimes they commit, and the consequences they may well face. If you want torrid love affairs, vigilante justice, dark alley chases and electroshock hypnosis, this is your game.
Heart of Ashes
GM: Joe McDaldno
Heart of Ashes is a game. It’s a game about children lost in a dangerous, fantastic world.

Rise of Aester
 In 1862 the end of the world came with rising tides and darkening skies. A mysterious caustic cloud called the Aester descended on the earth spreading out from the poles and what was left of humanity fled towards the remaining sunlight at the equator. Once the Ęster stabilized, humanity fought back, and from near obliteration they forged into the darkness to reclaim what was theirs. A movement began called the City of Light, where safe havens of industry and commerce were created. This is the world of Rise of Ęster, a world where mankind is ascending after near eradication. Steam, iron, and technology, uncompromised acts of will and bravery, and the power of human ingenuity have brought us back from the brink into a world of unparalleled possibility.
Come join us for an immersive LARPing experience all weekend as we run a pair of daring tales.
