It's an aesthetic that pleases the apocalyptic crowd. We had a member by the name of "Tower" who would share that taste and expound deeply on that side of steampunk. I wonder what happened to him?

How about you just stop shouting at people!

This question came up at our steampunk dinner last night.  Predominantly the answer returned was the clothes, dressing up.

While it's an interesting question, I think a dinner with people who went out to eat dinner with steampunks is more likely to be the type who dress up.  Thereby skewing the results.

So what format of steampunk draws you in the most?
clothes/dressing up
books
music
video
making
props
weapons
something I didn't list

Clothes/dressing up
music
weapons/props




Also SteamPunk table-top games and RPGs.  
Actual past technologies
Gadgets like pocket watches, fobs, shaving gear, etc....

My "goals" would be to indulge in the vehicles like early automobiles, river boats, locomotives, and even airships.  

Oh yes, the surprisingly pleasant company of other folks in the SP community.

OMG My Dear Captain, that visual of the C96 Mauser is incredible!
I do not know how I missed this at the time!

Now I must dig out the C96 I inherited from my Dad when he downsized (he's not dead yet!)
and play with it....
