Why don't we have more urban settings set in periods of history like the Victorian era/Steampunk instead of millions of pseudo-medieval clones like Forgotten Realms?

Steampunk isn't a genre and no one gives a fuck about it.

>>96510461Why don't you make the kinds of settings settings in periods of history you want, like what tabletop games are for, instead of crying online about what other people aren't doing for you?Forgotten Realms sucks, yeah, but I don't have to deal with it, because I can just make the things I want.

>>96510461Belle Époque from The Red Room really captures the feel of the Victorian era beyond the shores of Britannia and their Wretched Steampunk supplements slots in well.

>>96510580Steampunk for GURPS is not a setting. Is more like a myriad of notes and suggestions to run a steampunk compaign but it really is fall flats for the American focus despite America being fairly irrelevant during the Victorian period. It also doesn't going in-deep about politics, geography or anything useful for worldbuilding. There's also a ridiculous section filled with machines. That said, the section about real historical characters is interesting.

>>96510558Why are so many people on this board anti discussion? OP asked WHY it's not more popular, at no point did he cry that no one was doing it for him. God forbid someone asks a question about traditional games on /tg/
>>96511653Every discussion we have takes away vital space away from discussing Warhammer chud.
>>96511309Steampunk barely qualifies as a genre, and is more of an aesthetic moodboard instead. So having a game which is barely a setting seems like a perfect fit actually.
>>96511653we continually prune the creatives and weirdos that would entertain conversation.Now all we have is irony and shitposting.

>>96511986OP asked for an Steampunk/Victorian setting though, so I'm only pointing out that the GURPS book is not that. And what it does is very lacking. I think they have another supplement which is way better though, I think is called Screampunk or something like that. Very nice suggestions there for a 19th century based setting there with flavor, instead of random suggestions.
Most of the people who are interested in the time period do war gaming instead.
>>96512898I've found that the actual case is that most Steampunkers prefer LARP while cosplaying to actual gaming.
>>96512151I disregard the prompt and steal the plot to Bringing Up Baby.
The problem is that it is alt history and not a secondary setting.
