Cool, I didn't know that

I have been trying to stat sympathies for DFRP but hit the brick wall that the power of sympathies is entirly based on how they are used so is mostly narrative and so can't really be statted by a magic system which is so systemic.
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.
Also purged all accounts created over 150 days ago that had never been activated. We went from 4104 outstanding accounts to 707! Hopefully, the server will appreciate the marginally lightened load.
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'?
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.
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.
