Castle Falkenstein is a Gaslamp Fantasy tabletop RPG published in 1994 by R. Talsorian Games. A handful of supplements followed, and a GURPS adaptation of the setting was published in 2000. Fat Goblin Games acquired the license to put out additional supplements in 2016, but it reverted to R. Talsorian after a few years. R. Talsorian announced a 25th-anniversary edition in 2018 for release in 2019, though as of yet nothing has appeared.The story is an alternate universe set during the Victorian era, mostly in Europe — or as it's called in this universe, New Europa. Many fixtures of period fiction, high fantasy, and real history are all present, including high society intrigue, wars between European powers, and the shadowy presence of magicians and faeries.Rather than being a straight setting for the 19th century era like Victoriana, Castle Falkenstein defines itself with the slogan of "the Victorian Era as it Should Have Been", in which gallant men and women fight the forces of evil, steam-powered contraptions fill the skies and faeries are a regular sight in the cities of Europe. While calling itself a Steampunk setting, the books constantly imply and point out that many of the technologies are thanks to subtle (and unconscious) manipulation of sorcery, making it a straight Gaslamp Fantasy with a heavy dose of Two-Fisted Tales and Dungeon Punk for good measure.The corebook itself is a whimsical mix of illustrated novel, world book, and game; most of it is glossy, coloured, illustrated and completely avoids mentioning any rules, while telling the story of Tom Olam, a game designer plucked magically from Earth to help in the ongoing fight against the Unseelie and their human collaborator, Otto von Bismarck; occasional stops are made for more in-depth exposition about life in New Europa.The final chapter details the rules; true to form, they're designed to be played in the context of Victorian-era aristocratic life. Therefore, action resolution is through playing cards (which are a wholesome pastime), not dice (which are for uncouth knaves), while characters are detailed using diaries, because Xerox machines for character sheets weren't available in the 1870s (Charles Babbage, however, invented data forms in the 1830s... so some kind of datasheet wasn't entirely out of timeframe).(Not to be confused with Falken's Maze.) | |

Create Your Own Villain | |
| Castle Falkenstein (Tabletop Game) / int_326a44a1 | comment |
Create Your Own Villain: Adolf von Schrakenberg used to be a loyal officer in the Austrian army, who got the idea to create an armoured artillery vehicle. Prussian officers approached him and asked him to work for them. He refused the offer; however, the Austrian Secret Police found about it, and started to harass his family, then arrested them. Sadly, during the arrest, his mother and father were killed trying to escape. After hearing this, Adolf contacted the Prussian military, and their agents rescued his wife and brother, and helped him escape Austria. He now works with the Prussians to create the LandFortresses. | |

Unicorn | |
| Castle Falkenstein (Tabletop Game) / int_404caf13 | comment |
Unicorn: Covered in Curious Creatures, coming in two types, the True and the False. True Unicorns are available as PC options; they resemble graceful, willowy goats with a single horn in the middle of their forehead, and are intelligent, capable of shifting into human form, able to detect lies and illusions, able to speak to animals in both forms, able to mindspeak in equine form, and incapable of lying. False Unicorns were created from wild horses by the Adversary in mockery of the legends surrounding True Unicorns, and more closely resemble the classic depiction, horses with a horn in the middle of their forehead which are drawn to women. In their case, however, they seek out women because they live in constant agony that can only be eased when they hunt or kill human females. | |

Gender-Restricted Ability: Played with. While sorcery is not truly gender restricted, women tend to be far stronger, dexterous and numerous than men in magick. This is one of the explanations why women's emancipation happened several centuries earlier in New Europa. | |

Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Somewhat Averted; while dwarves have some of the miners/dwarfclan/short temper typical feel, they are completely immune to fire, need other races to reproduce, and you will hardly ever find a "Viking-type dwarf", they being consummate engineers/mad scientists. They are also rather indifferent about their beards - but don't you dare to mock their feet. Or their names. | |

Direct Line to the Author | |
| Castle Falkenstein (Tabletop Game) / int_6a3c49f | comment |
Direct Line to the Author: The Castle Falkenstein books are allegedly sent from New Europa by Tom Olam, an acquaintance of game publisher Mike Pondsmith who mysteriously vanished during a vacation in Europe; Olam sends documents to Pondsmith claiming to have been abducted to a Steam Punk-plus-magic alternate world, in which he wrote the rules to the game using cards because the local nobility were scandalized at the thought of gaming with dice. Some of the books are written by Olam himself, while others are written by residents of New Europa. | |

Fisher King | |
| Castle Falkenstein (Tabletop Game) / int_6c51e9e1 | comment |
Fisher King: New Europa seems to work, at least in some degree, like this. Compare the rulers from Bayern, France and the Bear Flag Empire with Prussia, Russia and the Ottoman Empire and see how their territories exist. Hell, technically speaking, the entire adventure to crown Ludwig was because of this trope. | |

Awakening the Sleeping Giant: NO ONE, not even the Unseelie lords, wants to mess with Russia. It's pointed out that it has enough soldiers and weaponry to crush all the factions in New Europa. Thankfully, its mad emperor is too occupied using all its resources to screw its own people to care what the other nations (and races) are doing. | |

In Curious Creatures, Thomas Stubbins goes from having fallen into self-loathing mediocrity after he was left behind by Doctor Dolittle to recruiting the Second Compact to help him recover the doctor's final manuscript to ultimately joining their ranks. | |

Karma Houdini: If the complementary book "Memoirs of Auberon of Faerie" is anywhere near correct, all the Fae, whether Seelie or Unseelie, are unrepentant mass murderers, literally killing, raping, torturing and bringing two entire dimensions' worth of millions of humans to extinction... and so far they have shown no sense of remorse. It really gives you a new perspective on the witty, charming Fae you met in the ballroom, huh? That said, there are some, such as the Sphinxes, interested in delivering a measure of karma to the Fae... although they're not much better than their enemies. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Auberon created a new sea, and threw his not inconsiderable power behind the Second Compact to halt German expansion, thus stopping "future blitzkrieg" in France. Any suggestion that he might want to protect Poland and Russia, where the majority of the fighting and dying happened, is met with blank incomprehension or insinuations that Eastern Europe is too crapsack to be worth saving. | |

Jade-Colored Glasses: One of the first and most lasting cultural clashes of Tom with the citizens of New Europa.

Shout-Out: A big chunk of Six-Guns & Sorcery is dedicated to describing the struggles of the U.S. Secret Service against waves of Diabolical Masterminds, particularly the diminutive lunatic Dr. Inigio Lovelorn. Sound familiar? In Comme Il Faut, while describing how to convert Castle Falkenstein to the Interlock system (used by Cyberpunk and Mekton), Tom sarcastically muses on how bizarre would be to see cyberware-equipped Dwarfs, Elves with machine guns and a world where Magick is running loose alongside with Technology. Lord Yoshikazu Tomino and his Steampunk mecha are a clear nod to Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of Mobile Suit Gundam. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Castle Falkenstein (Tabletop Game) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: A non-humorous example. There is barely an introduction of a facet from New Europa that doesn't have or end with a cynical jab about how much our world sucks, to the point of almost making Tom a quisling. | |

Resistant to Magic | |
| Castle Falkenstein (Tabletop Game) / int_cf0a35a | comment |
Resistant to Magic: Certain species have a higher resistance to spells, which means it takes more Thaumic Energy to effect them. The Dwarfs have a the highest resistance to Magick (they require 16 TER, compared to humans, who only need 1 TER to be affected). Mages can also increase resistance with the Resistance to Sorcery spell. | |

Anti-Villain: The sourcebooks outright state it. Otto von Bismarck is not Evil. Power-hungry, ruthless and ambitious, absolutely, but he genuinely believes that an industrialized world with him at the helm is the best possible outcome for the world at large. His Unseelie backers are a different story, though... | |
