Steampunk . . . please!
I am not starting a rumor or anything. Only a suggestion. I have known about Steampunk since the last 80s. I have played many-a-RPGs that were Steampunk too. I am very surprised by the sudden popularity of the genre again. I would be curios to find out what started it back up.
However, with the insurgence of the popularity I would like to suggest SJGames reprint Steampunk for GURPS. I know I would like a hard copy. Thanks!

I know it's not a hard copy but GURPS Classic: Steampunk and GURPS Classic: Steam-Tech are on e23.

It was 3e, but it hasn't been reprinted since before 4e (unless you are talking about the pdf, but then isn't Steampunk also available as a pdf?).

"I would be curios to find out what started it back up."
What got me interested in steampunk was the table top minatures game Warmachine. They also have a 3e D&D game world along with it. |

No. Eberron was the setting that won WOTC's great setting search for D&D 3.5. Iron Kingdoms is published by Privateer Press. Personally I wouldn't call either setting Steampunk. Both are invented world fantasies rather than historicals. Eberron is based solidly in D&D, and totally lacks steam technology (although it uses widespread industrial magic as a substitute). Iron Kingdoms is much more advanced, but also has industrial magic. It seems more New-Weird than Steampunk, IMO.
