CaptainKickback replied to Miss Anne Thrope's discussion "So what exactly do you need all this stuff for?" they ask"Last week I was at Comic-con in San Diego and there were a nice selection of steampunkers and the folks there knew what they were. There is a better chance of you finding like minded folks around Boston or NYC.
As for explaining it - tell people to…"

CaptainKickback replied to Michael 'K-J' Halifax's discussion Im 15 and my parents think "Steampunks" are "weird""For the kid from Australia.

Now, to counter them,…"
CaptainKickback replied to Ay-leen the Peacemaker's discussion Non-Eurocentric steampunk?"Since you are on the subject of African-American in a steampunk mode, two thoughts come to mind.

CaptainKickback replied to Professor Lascivious's discussion Why are we carrying so many weapons anyways?"As for Yanks and their love of weaponry, remember the words of Admiral Yamamoto - "It would be foolish to invade America as there would be a gun behind every blade of grass."

It has roots in the late Victorian Era, during the height of the industrial revolution in western Europe and the USA, and after that, the…"
CaptainKickback replied to Josephine "Red Skye" Sawyer's discussion If steampunk is "victorian" inspired, then is it still steampunk if..."I would say steam-punk could be world wide (and have commented to such elsewhere here), that takes place in The Victorian Era, a time frame encompassing the reign of Queen Victoria.
As such, it would be proper to refer to France in the Victorian…"
