Imagine a very alternative Victorian England. Far above, steam powered
crafts carry citizens to and fro. The country is in the grips of war
with  France, played out in staged battles across the Channel where
the reason for the war has been lost in the wonder-lust of new
weaponry and bragging rights  as to who has the best inventors.

Exploration and science with very little conscience rules the day and
salons and gathering places are filled with the bored rich, while the
poor struggle to hold their own in an era when Industrialization
threatens to roll over the little man or woman as the world moves
steadily forward into the next century.

London totters on the brink of a new century, old Victoriana warring
with 'New Age' philosophy.  In this world, the difference engine has
indeed made all the difference and airships fly above while far
below, motorcars tool through the street and compete with horse-drawn
carriages.

Sound intriguing? If so, feel free to drop by our website and check us
out.  A Delicate Engine is a full post Pbem with elements of
alternative history, science fiction and fantasy.  We're looking for
individuals who are interested in story development and character
rather than simple 'gaming'.
