On a world not our own, the privileged live down on the plains near the sea, where the Sky Castles are said to have crashed millennia ago. These pampered few have their “freedom” protected by an overwhelming military force – with its fleets of flying dreadnoughts – and a “benevolent” Government.
The less fortunate live inland and uphill, mining for the resources that civilisation needs to survive using the ageing and decaying technology of a bygone era. A few disgruntled types have abandoned the world to live as Sky Pirates – parasites in Ornithopters living off the society below.
You are one of a small group who have come into the possession of a clue to an ancient secret that could rock the world to its foundations and rewrite the past and future of mankind.
A brand new adventure – based upon and in the world of Studio Ghibli’s classic anime “Laputa – Castle in the Sky”. A work of rare beauty, which we’ll probably trample all over.
THE CODE OF STEAM AND STEEL is my brand new Super-lite Role-Playing Game of Steampunk and Scientific Romance – powered by pretty much the same rules as THE COMICS CODE and THE CODE OF THE SPACELANES.
