Hey kids its time to talk about Flintlock Fantasy and to refer settings and other works in the genre. So I think Johnathan Strange and Mr.Norrel fit firmly within the genre and I suggest you read it if you like catty English men. It actually makes me want to write a short story about Napoleonic battle mages. But anyways any other good examples of the genre, no gaslamp remember.
I heard good stuff about the powder mages, griffins and gunpowder, and shadow campaign series as well as temeraire as well as at the queens command.
What are peoples thoughts on the Gentleman Bastards series?
Sorry but lynch is one of the worst authors ever. I don't know why Veeky Forums shills his crap so much.

The powder mage trilogy, by Brian McClellan, is pretty good. Not a classic that our posterity will read, but definitely a solid read.

I plan on making my own flintlock fantasy mixed with Victorian Gothic and Gaslamp settings, avoiding steampunk as much as possible and keeping it both fantastical and grounded in reality, so you still have orcs, elves, humans, magic, dragons, but industry, science, guns, and the works.

This. The first book of his new trilogy was pretty good too.
Caleb Robinson
I felt that McClellan's first powedermage book was amazing, and had that legendary quality. Same for the second book, but the third one just ratcheted up the stakes too high without proper set up. It was the weakest for me, a somewhat disappointing end to a series that could have been legendary, if the last book was just a bit better.

You might want to look at Lexoccultum.

I ran a gaslamp game of Stargate:1888 for awhile
Good fun until the Daniel Jackson expy realized he didn't have as much plot armor as in the original series.

Not off to a great start.
The genre tends to be a little sparse, as most people skip over the 18thC and jump straight from late Renaissance to Victorian in fiction.
