Castle Falkenstein

A Victorian-era alternate universe where steam technology, magic and faerie realms coexist. Players take on roles such as nobles, wizards, inventors or adventurers and pursue narrative-driven objectives across a setting of airships, dragons and urban intrigue. Gameplay focuses on storytelling and roleplaying rather than tactical simulation: players describe actions, resolve conflicts with a simple card- and dice-based system, and use character motivations and social position to influence outcomes. The rules emphasize scene framing, dramatic challenges, and collaborative plot development, with mechanics for duels, spellcasting and technological devices.
