By at 2:32 am Tuesday, Jul 27  


Lady Blackbird is a quick-playing steampunk tabletop RPG that's free to download and Creative Commons-licensed for your sharing and remixing pleasure: "Lady Blackbird is on the run from an arranged marriage to Count Carlowe. She hired a smuggler skyship, The Owl, to take her from her palace on the Imperial world of Ilysium to the far reaches of the Remnants, so she could be with her once secret lover: the pirate king Uriah Flint. HOWEVER, just before reaching the halfway point of Haven, The Owl was pursued and captured by the Imperial cruiser Hand of Sorrow, under charges of flying a false flag."
