	The main continent in the setting is called Highpoint. Highpoint's most notable geographic feature is the rising yearly tides, which change in height up to 30 feet between seasons. This, coupled with the largely flat nature of the land, made permanent settlements rare. Thus, most of the population is nomads. Highpoint's second most notable feature is that the moon decided to pull a Majora's Mask and attempt to face-slam the continent. This resulted in several things: firstly, meteor storms every single night as the surface of the moon was stripped bare by gravity; second, lots of scary lunar monsters; and thirdly, as a byproduct of the previous two, the end of most civilization. However, not all was lost. Many dwarves, who were chilling underground when the meteors hit anyways, were able to survive. Other races, noting this, decided that death was not a preferable alternative to having to live in tunnels, and so tried to move in with the dwarves. They were less than pleased. A fragile peace was made with the non-dwarves who managed to get into the city, but thousands were turned away, left at the mercy of the harsh meteor showers (called "lunar rain") and the associated lunar dragons. With the underground packed, it didn't take long for people to start fighting; no full-scale wars were fought, but unrest was frequent.		The main continent in the setting is called Highpoint.

Highpoint's second most notable feature is that the moon decided to pull a Majora's Mask and attempt to face-slam the continent. This resulted in several things: firstly, meteor storms every single night as the surface of the moon was stripped bare by gravity (it's actually scientifically accurate for what would happen if a moon entered the roche limit of it's planet and is tore apart); second, lots of scary lunar monsters; and thirdly, as a byproduct of the previous two, the end of most civilization. However, not all was lost. Many dwarves, who were chilling underground when the meteors hit anyways, were able to survive. Other races, noting this, decided that death was not a preferable alternative to having to live in tunnels, and so tried to move in with the dwarves. They were less than pleased.

	Then one day, a single dwarf showed up. Claiming to be a "gearwright", he had a large book with metal pages, and from these pages he gave the dwarves mechs- large machines, of brass and wood, powered by steam, that could fight the dragons. These mechs, though clumsy and slow, could fell lunar dragons more reliably than armies or even powerful mages, and could be built relatively quickly (no assembly lines yet, so each part was hand-crafted). One day, the gearwright told an army of mechs to clear one square mile, and to defend it with their lives. In this square mile, the first city-mech was built. And from this giant mech, hope sprang.

	*Magic: These "mechs" are actually golems animated by lots of magic. Sleek, fast, immune to crits, and cost more than a diamond-encrusted Tarrasque. Only the Elves make these, and they require high-level mages to even begin to make. Once the creation is done though, they require less crew, have more living/shipping space, and are far more dangerous than their non-magical brethren.		*Magic: These "mechs" are actually golems animated by lots of magic.

	*Zombies!: It was only a matter of time before some necromancer decided to be REALLY evil and build a giant mech out of dead things. This mech is relatively inexpensive (the only materials you need are bodies- sometimes a LOT of them) and requires precisely one crew member to function- the necromancer who made it. Zombie mechs are similar to Magic mechs in that they require a high-level spellcaster to make, are immune to crits, and are actually golems; however, they are slow, so their main purpose is a transporter for massive zombie armies.		*Zombies!: It was only a matter of time before some necromancer decided to be REALLY evil and build a giant mech out of dead things.

	Mech combat is done using hardness of material instead of AC, because mechs have ACs of somewhere around 5. Mechs get special weapons, some of which are just giant versions of normal weapons (giant chainsword anybody?) and some of which are awesome (like a giant cannon built to kill city-mechs). Sometimes critical hits are scored on mechs and a table must be rolled on to determine the extent of the damage. Sometimes a weapon is lost; sometimes an entire mech shuts down; sometimes your cupholder breaks. It varies. Without critical hits, however, mechs are ~~neigh~~ invulnerable as hardness, object damage resistances/immunities, and a literal boatload of HP means that the usual D&D methods of killing things have little hope of stopping them.

	Beyond the obvious with the mechs and all, Dragonmech also adds some steampunk-y weapons and armor, including a primitive steam-powered machine gun, a flamethrower, and even a chainsword. Some new spells get thrown into the fray as well, most having to do with mechanical stuff (such as Tick-Tock Knock, a construct-disrupting spell, or Ferrous Soul, which allows a caster to reincarnate himself as a robot).
