From Cubicle Seven and Cakebread & Walton:

Clockwork & Chivalry 2nd Edition is a grim and gritty game of mud, blood, mayhem and magick, set in an alternate 17th century England plunged into civil war. As Oliver Cromwell and his gigantic clockwork war machines fight against the cavalier-alchemists of Prince Rupert, ordinary folk struggle for survival, split into a myriad political and religious factions. Magickal pollution taints the land, waking creatures long dismissed as legends; obsessive scientists make wild discoveries; crazed inventors create mad machines. In a world where every man is against his brother, can you and your fellow adventurers, armed only with musket, sword and magick, hold back the tide of war? Now featuring the Renaissance rules system, the 2nd Edition Core Rulebook is a complete game in itself, and will be supported by numerous supplements in 2012.

The Renaissance system will form the engine for all future Clockwork & Chivalry releases, as well as other exciting new Renaissance products for 2012 and beyond. Products in the pipeline include the first four volumes in the Kingdom & Commonwealth campaign re-released in two omnibus editions (currently in preparation), followed by the final two adventures in the series, Hobbes: Leviathan and London Calling; a series of “pick-up-and-play” books for the Renaissance system, including Clockwork & Cthulhu and Clockwork & Deviltry; and a new “airships and flintlocks” fantasy world, Realms of Gold, featuring, faeries, shape-changing lizardmen, plunder, pirates and revolution in a world almost, but not entirely, unlike our own.

This 400 page rulebook incorporates the new Renaissance RPG system which is based on Newt Newport’s OpenQuest, (which to my understanding is based on the old Chaosium Runequest rules – don’t quote me on that) and is designed for historical and fantasy gaming in the age of black powder weapons. I’d say Clockwork &Cthulhu is probably right up Elliott and my alley!

You can order from Cubicle Seven or, if you’d like to port the rules around on your laptop or new fangled tablet thingies – don’t worry, I have one of those too – swing on over to drivethrurpg.com and score a copy at a discounted price.
