Think "steampunk" (cyberpunk-like attitudes set during the
Industrial Revolution, but where the Babbage(?) machine (a primitive
computer) actually worked) with magic added.

I really like this idea, but as my knowledge of Japanese history &
culture isn't enough to do this without seriously messing up, I'll
have to pass for now. I know the names would have to be somewhat
changed to reflect the 19th century.

What do others think of this idea?
Would this be better set in feudal Japan (around 16th century,
I guess)?
I'd really like comments on this.

Hmm... I like this idea, maybe we'll pass through that Shadow at some point...
