I've noticed that the steampunk deck seems to be pretty popular. I feel really inclinedvto buy the deck. Would anyone care to share your experience with Steampunk? Why is it so fascinating?
Which Steampunk deck are you interested in? There are a few.
I own Moore´s Steampunk and it reads and flows really well. The characters have interesting expressions and the usual meanings get funky twists. The card stock is ok so I´m quite satisfied. To be honest, the art of Matthew´s version is to me MUCH MORE appealing but I figured reading with it would be a bit too convoluted. It has a lot to do with taste, I guess. Have a look.

You can also see more samples of the cards (and read Janet's reviews) of the two first decks here:

I have the Matthews Steampunk. Haven't really read with it yet, but it's slated to be read with next week. Love, love it at a precursory glance, though.
I bought it because the deck's art style and system is unique, and I tend to go for decks that aren't constant RWS or Thoth clones and push my boundaries a little. So I agree with ana luisa; it just depends on your taste and/or what you want to do with the deck.
