DMW:Home
An age of brass engines, impossible inventions, lost continents, masked avengers, gentleman scientists, sky pirates, occult conspiracies, talking apes, and men and women who refused to believe that the impossible had any right to remain impossible.
Days of Miracle and Wonder is a world of high adventure spanning two great ages: the Age of Steam and the Age of Diesel.
It is a world of forgotten kingdoms, aerial armadas, scientific marvels, occult mysteries, masked crimefighters, and explorers whose names appear regularly in newspapers, police reports, diplomatic cables, and the occasional ancient prophecy.
Editor's Note: Dates in this archive should be approached with caution. The chronology of Days of Miracle and Wonder is notoriously unreliable. The year is often recorded as 193X and, according to some authorities, always has been.

[edit]The Rule Of DMW: A character should never be merely a profession. An airship captain is not enough. A detective is not enough. A scientist is not enough. Every major character should possess a legend, a mystery, a reputation, a signature accomplishment, and at least one unbelievable story that later turns out to be true.
The impossible is common, but never ordinary. Wonders should astonish. Villains should be memorable. Heroes should be the sort of people whose names become headlines.
