Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Broken Gears is an "animistic steampunk" Table Top Game created by the Cambridge University Role-playing Society (CURS) that takes place in an Alternate Universe where technology works thanks to being possessed by spirits called "chaids". In spite of this great change, history was pretty much like ours until January 1944, when Colossus, the first programmable computer, was switched on: its chaid gained sentience and offered the Allied leaders a series of technological improvements that allowed World War II to end in January 1945, but then attempted to start a Technocratic revolution that led to World War III with the aid of many who thought like Colossus. In the end, Humanity won at great cost... and then all electrical devices (and even lightning) started to act in a malicious fashion against humans. This led to a blowback against advanced technology and a return to almost Victorian-style technology, and the loss of a good part of the advances made in the last century, such as mass-production.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })A century after the end of the War of Broken Gears, the British Empire has become the most powerful nation in the world, pretty much controlling Europe, much of Africa and parts of Asia, entangled in a Space Cold War against the United Socialist Republic of Asia (an union of Communist China and the Soviet Union controlled by the former) that has threatened several times to turn hot. British society resembles the one in the Victorian Age, the army is formed by 1 million professionals and militias funded by the rich, military zeppelins dot the skies, there's an always watchful eye ready to destroy any Forbidden Technology they can find.The players can be many things, from British secret agents to independence fighters to normal people that accidentally get involved in a plot by Technocratic agents, which gives the game many possibilities to work (and play) with, in the steampunk Britain of Broken Gears.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })If you are interested, it can be downloaded for free here.Broken Gears has examples of: | |
