The Grinning Manta is a submarine-for-hire, crewed by a rough gang of steampunk treasure-seekers. They have stumbled on a lead to the big payday they’ve been dreaming of. What could possibly go wrong?
Description:
The crew of the Grinning Manta make their living by seeking out lost treasures at the bottom of the ocean. They take risks that more sensible and better-funded treasure hunters would never consider. Recently, Miles Jefferson, the ship’s first mate and research archivist, has stumbled on what might be the score of the century – the ruins of a lost Greek Island civilization, buried in the deeps southeast of Sicily. If all goes well, the Manta and its crew will be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

Fifty years ago, Arcanists of the ancient Order of Hermes fled their stronghold in the French Alps. Tonight, the exiles return. At stake is their Order’s relevance in the modern steampunk world.
Description:
Fifty years ago, some force or circumstance forced a covenant of Arcanists to flee their ancient home on the shores of Lac D’Allos in the French Alps north of Nice. This covenant is all that remains of the once-mighty Order of Hermes, a brotherhood whose name was once whispered in awe but is now all but forgotten. In the steampunk world of Brass & Steel, Arcanists of the ancient orders fight to remain relevant in a rapidly modernizing world that has no time for their ancient traditions and careful husbanding of Arcane resources. Facing the extinction of their Order, a small group of Arcanists risk a return to Lac D’Allos to reclaim their home and the power that lies dormant within it.

Description:
In the Steampunk World of Brass & Steel, sabers are rattling. The International Air Navigation Conference, held in glittering style at the great palace of Versailles in spring 1910, has been a smashing success, with an agreement between Britain and Germany set to lower tensions in central Europe. As the conference closes, a distinguished British scientist has been kidnapped, taking with him the secrets of Project Aphaea – cutting-edge stealth technology. The British have sent a highly skilled special operations team on their most advanced airship to recover him at any cost. But the mission into the German Empire must be completed carefully and quietly or the progress of the conference could quickly be erased.
The British Empire has no equal by land, sea, or sky. Now the best & brightest of His Majesty's subjects have set their sights on the next phase of English preeminence - to the moon!
Description:
After years of utter secrecy, an unexpected announcement – June 1, 1909 will mark the dawn of the Space Age, with a great journey to the moon launched from Constantinople’s Tatavala Aerospace Port. The British Empire has encouraged its friends and rivals to turn their eyes to that ancient city and witness mankind’s first journey among the stars. A carefully selected and well-trained crew from around the globe will travel faster and farther than any in history, orbiting and landing on the moon and returning with artifacts and images from that farthest shore. True, the technology is untested and bleeding edge, the plan ambitious in the extreme. But the greatest minds of the Empire have gotten the mission to this point – what could go wrong?

Join an expedition traveling up the Amazon River in search of the fabled city of gold, El Dorado. Will you succeed where so many others have failed?
Description:
El Dorado. The name conjures up a hundred different images and all of them covered in gold! Countless treasure hunters have chased the legend and many have died in the attempt. No trace of the man, the city, the empire were ever found. By the 19th century, most had dismissed El Dorado as a myth. However, an intriguing 16th century map has surfaced in Lisbon. The map has been attributed to Francisco de Orellana, the only explorer known to have mapped the entire Amazon basin. He disappeared on his second voyage, so quite how the map made it to Lisbon is a mystery. Equally enigmatic is the writing covering the reverse, referring to the "Golden One!" The King of Portugal will pay you handsomely to take a boat up the Amazon to follow where Orellana's map leads. Will you and your team succeed where so many have failed? Find El Dorado and fortune and glory will be yours forever!

The eccentric yet stalwart residents of a former Colorado boomtown must investigate a series of mysterious disappearances & confront other strange occurrences that have plagued their humble town.
Description:
The year is 1907. The hectic boomtown days of Harthall Colorado's gold rush era have long since passed. Those who settled the town have considered themselves fortunate to become part of a thriving mining industry. Precious metals and arcane salts pulled from the mines created steady labor for the citizens. Ample tax revenue and competent leadership has provided a solid foundation for the fledgling community. However, in spite of their good fortunes odd occurrences began to plague the town three years ago. At first it was minor things, occasional brief tremors in the ground, leaves seeming to blow in absent wind but as the incidents became more and more frequent they became more disturbing. Crop growth began to develop in odd patterns. Eerie colored lights appeared in the night sky. Finally, just this week, a few townsfolk disappeared... and last night's mining shift hasn't returned.
