I'm probably going to go with something like that EldritchFire. Thank's for the suggestions everyone, you gave me a few ideas that I will have to work on

I could just use it as a different type of basic evocation, but I thought to have two types of spellcastingin this campaign I would do. The first would be the normal DFRPG spellcasting with symbols and focus items and such. I was thinking that True Naming would be rare, only a handfull of people would have it and it would be like sponsored magic. I am still thinking about an agenda. Those people who had it could do some thaumaturgy at evocation speed( just like with sponsored magic) and would get a bonus to evocation for the elements whose true name they know. Probably a control bonus.

If you give the named concept an agenda, standard sponsored magic would work without any changes.  (Fire's 'agenda' seems easy, other concepts may be less obvious.)  If you're looking for something more impersonal you might try treating it as a stunt / power.  Something granting a +1 to Air spells for knowing the True Name of the Wind or similar bonus.  You could also simply treat it as an aspect.  The "Wizard on a First Name Basis with the North Wind" would gain a +2 anytime he could invoke it.

That is a good idea, I could treat it as a stunt instead of creating a new sponsored magic. Treating it as an aspect would also work, and it could be very usefull for the players.

Could be, but I actually had the feeling that there are more females here.

Its still there for me, next to my avatar.

Drunk posts sound like fun
And I suck at math, if you put that program here I won't be able to post at all

this sounds realy neat, as I do buy stuff from amazon from time to tiem. it also sounds a bit on techy side. as a sugesting, would it be possibel to make a genric 'buy it from amazon thru us link'?

That would be very useful, since the process sounds complicated. And I'm not really that good with computers

How common are guns? Maybe guns should switch to archery (with guns at -2) and then there's a stunt that allows you to shoot guns without the negative. Guess it depends on which is more common.

EDIT: Oh, and the steamjacks are just going to be difficult as are any other summoned/crafted creature in the DFRPG. You could represent them with item of power, shapeshifting abilities, or Devonapple has a whole summoning/golem thread with other thoughts.

I think there's another thread running around somewhere too, but I couldn't find it.

Guns are very common in the setting, but mostly muskets and flintlock pistols. There are no "modern" guns. Thanks for the summoning/golem thread, that could be useful in my game. And good point on letting warcasters channel their magic through weapons and using the normal channeling rules-that would make things a lot simpler

When I said items of power for steam punk, forgive my lack of clarity. What I was thinking was things like steam powered battle armour that gives you a couple of Inhuman level physicals. Or like a set of gear-punk wings that lets you fly super fast. That type of thing.

Something like a gear-tech gun is just a gun. A steam punk horse is just a horse. Etc. Basically, if you could use it without special stunts and powers, you should be able to use a steam-punk version of it without special stunts and powers.

If you're talking about controlling some sort of mechanized war machines, maybe you could use the summoning rules. I"m not sure how comfortable a fit for you that would be.

For personal use special items, you could actually handle them like potions.

Warcaster armor would definitely be an item of power-it does give its user increased strenght and a power field that absorbs damage to a degree. And other steampunk items could very easily be handled as enchanted items. And thanks for the potion idea-that would fit well with the Gunmage character. Gunmages can craft special bullets empowered with their magic, so I could make that as potions: each session a Gunmage character has a few special bullets that he prepared that are one-shot items(potions).
