Nice Job Evil Wayne! As a fellow fan of all things Steampunkish, I
appreciate the look captured by Mean Time. I especially like the look of
the boiler.
I've allways planned on posting Steampunk/Gaslight Fantasy items over in
Adventurers. No one posts there much anyway. :)
I've mentioned this before, but for reference, there's the Girl Genius
comics by Phil and Kaja Foglio (www.studiofoglio.com) and the Steam Age RPG
and the GURPS Steampunk sourcebook. As for television, the Sci-Fi channel
is airing "The Secret Advenutres of Jules Verne" at like 1AM Saturdays (grr).
