Can anyone help me understand just what exactly is included in the base game as it will be released on Steam?

I have always used Masterwork because I want access to more interesting weaponry, rune smithing, golems, etc.

When I read about the Steam version it sounds like it contains some features I thought were part of the Masterwork mod. e.g. Book binding etc.

I may have just been mistaken.

Does it have runes? Golems? Guns? Dwarves able to use double handed weapons? Magic system?

The Steam/itch update concerns only a UI overhaul (better graphics support with an official tileset, reworked interface with mouse support), an official soundtrack, bug fixes and various QoL improvements (like a tutorial), from what I understand. Some of those, the official tileset and soundtrack, will be exclusive to the Steam version, the rest will also be available in DF Classic.

Apart from that, there are no new features planned as far as I know.

Also, book binding is in the game; that's not specific to Masterwork.

Pretty sure Masterwork will get updated to the new version quickly. Especially as Meph's likely to already know by the time of release what changes are being made to the directory structures to accommodate Steam Workshop (and he'll have a head start on the tileset of course).
