I've never liked steampunk that much, and if there are two radically opposing civilizations then a hybrid Magic and Tech user sounds like they'd be shunned from both.
I'll stick with Option A.

Just a thought about simplifying the 'choices':

A: Victorian Age. Combination of magic, robots and energy. Rich = steampunk with cars, robots, airships, middle/poor = medieval iron age, military = energy technology and weapons, varying swords and shields designs. Tech Fairies are physical, magical beings augmented with technology. Magic seems to be the 'power' in this choice.

B: Space-esque Age. Combination of magic and tech, focusing on military situations. Technology runs on magic, swords are considered upper-class and respectful, guns considered lowly and expendable. Tech Fairies are Software/Programs/AI.

C: Simultaneous, differing ages between multiple nations, some being purely tech/steampunk/Victorian, others being purely magic/swords/fantasy, and finally those caught in the middle, average and neutral between.

Other options are of course there, I'm just listing the three that we have had described so far. And I'm not pretending to be in charge either.

EDIT: Also another idea! Why do we all have to be friends? We're different DMs anyway, just have to make a couple little rules like 'No double-turns' and stuff.

I take it back, Option B.

I vote for all of the settings. The location of the character can be up to their DM, like Yoman suggested, and people can either be in the steampunk civilisation, the magic nation or the fringe colonies.

Still my original vote, in this case, option B.

Down with whatever, but leaning towards B right now.

B.

I just realized that my habitual RTD writing style is unusually soft on players. Since this is a one DM per person game, that'll lead to some serious imbalance.

Should I rescind myself as a DM or just make some changes to my writing?

If you think you can change, sure. It's your choicr; but we do need another player.

I don't suppose option B could be explained more.

I really have little to compare it to. People say Final Fantasy or Star Ocean, but I know not what they are.

I vote for C. Different civilizations = more interesting game.

I still remain in favor of option C. I would honestly find it difficult to write for option B (even making a character).

I still believe option C is the way to go, because each DM can use whichever 'theme' or 'age' they want. Ill again mention that we can seperate the group of players up if need be - it will be easier with multiple DMs.

Sorry double post. I've sent a PM to the three who haven't voted yet. I've just counted the votes and it's pretty much a draw so far.
Update #1: Reply back from Izen and Psygnosis, edited votes to show. We might need a tie-breaker!

Option A (Victorian): Noone
Option B (Space): TorrentHKU, Ragdollmaster, Arcalane, Fail Flail, Psygnosis = 5 votes
Option C (Mixed): nicolasx, caekdaemon, Nighthawk, TheKebbit, Yoman987, Izen = 6 votes
Undecided/Unheard: Roast Veg

I think Izen is leaning toward A or C, judging by what he said a few pages back. (Page 3 maybe?)

i voted on B via pm.
