The Steampunk world is a rich, glorious, fascinating, and astonishing universe. One must also realize that it is fraught with risk and danger, which can reveal itself in many ways, from a petty cutpurse, ner'do'wells, rampaging clockwork robots, ruffians intent on imposing their will or an organized gang of air-pirates wreaking havoc on the gentile populace.

Steampunk adventurers face even greater adversaries in the form of rogue automatons, augmented humans, crazed beasts, otherworldly terrors, supernatural creatures, as well as other possibilities.

This is a practical fighting manual for steampunks: role-players, reenactors, LARPers, writers, makers, and martial artists who live in a steam-powered world of brass, rivets and clockwork mechanisms.

At first glance, much of this information may seem fantastical, but we can assure you that there is practical knowledge within these pages. These street-tested, 130-plus-year-old methods of self-defence are as viable in today's world as they are in the phantasmagoric realms. With this initial publication, the Captain hopes you will join him and your fellow adventurers to prepare for adventures into the unknown.
