Most of my exposure to Steampunk occurred when it was "all the rage" amongst
that disreputable class of persons known as role playing game hobbyists, of
which I am a member.  While most of the materials provided by Eberron and GURPS
were (IMHO) decidedly dystopian, those from Iron Kingdoms and OGL were better
suited to "fun and adventure" type scenarios.  As for novels, my
far-less-than-expert recommendation would be the works of Tim Powers, e.g. "The
Anubis Gates".
