This sound really interesting, but do I have to read the books to understand the plot?. I will probably look for the books anyway.

Google Leviathan Wiki and do some reading up on there if you can, you'd probably just need a decent understanding of the Clankers/Darwinists, some knowledge about the common contraptions/beasties (fabricated creatures) that will probably be included, and the timeline. Try not to spoil the books though, just get an understanding of the sides. It's set in 1914, though I'm not sure if we'll be roleplaying in the exact same time. I'm still working things out.

oops, ninja'd me. Haha.
