Default 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.

I doubt it will ever be reprinted. It's for GURPS 3/e (I wrote it ten years ago, after all); books coming out in print now are for GURPS 4/e. It's not beyond conceiving that there might be a 4/e version of Steampunk someday, but it's not on my current list of projects.

They have reprinted 3e books before. I just got a copy of Cabal a few months ago and that is 3e. I think it was at least. I will have to check.

4e would still be cool though.

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?).

Also possible it was still in stock. Check the print date on it.

"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.

Would that be Eberron (the setting used by DDO)?

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.
