In Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, your player characters are the crewmembers of a war rig, venturing into battles against people from far off countries, aligned to ideals different than their own, and trying to preserve their peace, their way of life, or their rich deposits of a new, bizarre energy source: condensed coal. Your characters — the crewmembers of these war rigs — are as likely to be enlisted crooks as they are commissioned officers; gung-ho patriots as common as conscripted people from the imperial powers’ colonies. They fight because they have to. But in the fear and fog of battle, bonds form, friendships and rivalries grow, and legends are made.
As well as a roleplaying game, Steam Wars is a successful graphic novel, series of art creations, and idea spawned from the ever-brilliant mind of Larry Blamire. Working with Onyx Path Publishing, Larry has co-authored this game to form a new aspect of the Trinity Continuum while furthering the possibilities within his Steam Wars world. Readers, players, and Storyguides alike are encouraged to look up the Steam Wars graphic novel and get a taste for what this roleplaying game has in store. Many of the characters, rigs, and actions appearing in this pages were introduced in Larry’s comic work, and they’ll undoubtedly serve to inspire you.
The primary purpose behind this crowdfunding campaign is to enable Onyx Path to create a hardcover edition of Trinity Continuum: Steam Wars, a tabletop roleplaying game based on Larry Blamire’s Steam Wars setting and artwork . Your support will allow Onyx Path to produce a fully-developed PDF and hardcover edition for this setting and system, opening up whole new paths for the Trinity Continuum. With your help we hope to not only deliver a beautiful book to all of our backers, but also fund at least one print run to be sold through distribution and into book and hobby stores that are so vital to our community.
