Have you ever had Alexander Hamilton wind up your clockwork power armor, jump out of Thomas Paine's ornithopter, and land in the middle of the Battle of Yorktown to punch General Cornwallis in the face?

No?

Well... would you like to?

Play Sons of Liberty in three different modes: Battle Mode, Campaign Mode, and Versus Mode.

• In Battle Mode, you and three or more friends play through one secret “battle” of the Sons of Liberty. One player takes on the role of the Tories, while everyone else picks a Patriot figure to portray. A single battle takes between two and three hours to play.
• In Campaign Mode, you and your friends string together a series of battles to tell the whole, secret story of the American Revolution. Each battle features different Patriot figures, and the role of Tory player is traded to a new player each time. Scheduling is simple since the group of players need not be the same for each battle – if Jim can’t make it one evening, there’s just one less Patriot and more badassery for everybody else.
• In Versus Mode, you and one other player can each take on the role of one of the Sons of Liberty after the Revolution has been won. Once comrades in arms who founded a nation, the task of actually building that nation often set these men and women at odds. It was their impassioned struggles with each other that formed the nation we know today.

The great steel ship shuddered as a torpedo clanged off of the hull and detonated a moment later. "What's this, you're throwing Russian torpedoes at us?" Lieutenant Downing laughed out the conning glass and yanked on the ship's wheel. The starscape beyond tilted and wheeled, sending the crackling shock explosions and whizzing fighters spinning past their view. Finally, the other battleship appeared in the distance, the ether cannons along its line snapping back and forth like ants. "Little Jack Harkness, you'll need to throw more than that at a British ship to make her turn tail. Mister Hastings, direct the batteries to take aim on the battleship and inform the engine room we will need full light and full steam. It's time to show these pirates what for!"
Full Light, Full Steam is a steampunk space opera roleplaying game with a strong emphasis on character. The Solar Powers ply the ether of the Greatest Sea in steam-powered ships, protecting their colonies and trading posts on distant planets. None is greater than the British Empire -- and none has more to lose.

Join the Royal Astronomical Navy and protect the rights and prosperity of the greatest nation on earth! God save the Queen!

Steel on Steel is a Game Chef entry from 2006. It is available for free download.

As members of the Steel Watch, the Watchmen pit their blades against those of the criminal syndicate the Night Lords, and now in a ten-month crack down, they're playing for keeps. Together with your team of fellow fencers, coordinate your moves and strategies for maximum effectiveness against an enemy that never seems to run out of criminals. Do you and your fellow players have what it takes to take down the forces of anarchy, or will the Kingdom fall on your watch?

Excerpt: Object of the Game

Each player controls one member of a team of the Steel Watch, arresting criminals in the name of the King. The game takes place over a ten-month period during which the King is cracking down on a criminal syndicate known as the Night Lords. Each month the Steel Watch is sent out to arrest a new batch of criminals.

Every session begins at the Tower of Blades, the headquarters of the Steel Watch. In the first session, this time is used to create characters, which is framed as the characters arriving at the Tower of Blades for the first time. In later sessions, this time represents the Watchmen recuperating from their last arrest and preparing for the next, spending the Victory Points that they earned in the last session. Players usually spend about ten to twenty minutes at the Tower of Blades.

The rest of the session concerns the Arrest, where one of the Watchmen takes Sentry, observing the battle from the perimeter to watch for criminals who escape. That Watchman's player controls the Criminals while the other players control their Watchmen, trying to subdue the Criminals before they escape. The role of Sentry rotates through all the players.

If, by the end of the ten arrests, the players are actually able to arrest all sixty-five members of the Night Lords, they will be hailed by the King as heroes of the law, and awarded titles and lands that will preserve their family names for generations. If they can't get all sixty-five, well, there's always more mercenary work to be had somewhere.
