A little while ago, Mike Thompson contacted me about an article for Ars Technica entitled “The Memories of Our Future” about the Steampunk genre in computer/video games, and I’m very pleased to see that the article has just appeared on the site and I share the honour of being interviewed with Mr Sanders of the [...]

Mr Curtis of Ramshackle Games creates miniatures for the squad based tabletop game, Nuclear Renaissance.  A post apocalyptic setting, Nuclear Renaissance has gangs and tribes of people of various styles – and some of them are wonderfully Steampunk.  The most wonderful of these is the above “Isembard Kickass Brunel“, engineer without peer and visionary for [...]

Guten Tag my fine compatriots, I hope you’ll forgive me for my lack of posts, however I was been hoping to attend an event before I posted again. Sadly, the fates have been conspiring against me and that was impossible. The event I’ve been itching to attend is “THE JOURNEYS OF PROF. PLEASANT PENNYWHISTLE and [...]

So, you’ve decided that your Steampunk outfit won’t be complete without a pocket watch, and you’ve started to look around for a nice vintage one to use. What should you be looking for? What should you watch out for? What exactly is that watch you’ve found and is it a good one? Hopefully this [...]

Before I begin my review, I should mention that I met Wil Wheaton at SuperCon on Sunday and told him about Brass Goggles. When I asked him what he thought of Steampunk, he told me to pass on to all of you that he loves it, especially the Steampunk aesthetic and the Victorian feel of [...]

I propose to you [...]

Why the Ghostbusters, of course! This dapper gent answers to the name Josh Freeman and for his attendance to the Comic-Con International 2007, he meticulously constructed this fine wood and brass “proton accelerator” complete with a deployable ghost trap.

JingleJoe of our Steampunk Forum has come up with this rather whimsicle “dohicky” that converts audio waves into light.
