Feeling like a fish out of water..

I know the title sounds whiny and it is truly not meant to be. I merely wish to state how I'm feeling when it comes to the Steampunk Community. None of my friends have any interest in Steampunk, and…Continue

Greetings all, I have found myself in a bit of a quandry. I am looking for something fitting in the headwear department. My chosen persona may seem a bit cliché from what I've perused on the forums…Continue

Lord Codie F.Taggart replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."I fell quite the same. Only one of my friends has some kind of interest and he is far from devoted.
Because of some limitations i have no attire or anything so i kinda feel like a wanna be. But i feel its the best genre ive ever found."

Gabriel Swift replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."I agree with your philosophy. If you can make it, meaning you have the skill and time, then make it. If you can't, buy it. Personally I am in a position where I am having to teach myself to make things that I never thought I would need to know…"
Chris King replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."I'm brand new to this as well, and I'm also in Houston. 42nd Airship Battalion seems to be a somewhat loose affiliation of airships, which are roughly equivalent to groups who are either local and have a similar philosophy. As was recently…"

Greeting to you all from the command deck of the C.R.S. Ironside. I am Tobias Grey, Airship Captain for the Confederate Republic of Elysia. I have found my displaced in the Aether far away from…"
Gabriel Swift replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."I too know that feeling well Captain Grey. I am currently serving in the Army, and there aren't a lot of steampunks serving with me. My ex-wife actually mocked my love of all things steam. However, my current girlfriend loves it like I do, and…"
G.A. Jack Hammerquist replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."I too understand your feelings. Escapism is a great thing but knowing what you escape to always helps. There is quite a few Steampunk novels out there and a few short stories to be found on the net if you do not mind looking at fan fiction which I…"
Captain Jack Havock replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."I have always felt like this.
Firstly, I accept that. When you stop caring what other people think, they start getting interested.
Secondly, give it time. Now most of my friends like it if they aren't into it somewhat. Once they get used to…"
Anne Bowen replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Feeling like a fish out of water.."Dear Captain Grey,
Methinks that simply by being interested in bygone days in this age of technocracy, we all feel abit like the proverbial piscine in drydock.
Myself, I feel rather like fish sans water even within the steampunk…"
Captain Tobias Grey posted a discussionFeeling like a fish out of water..
I know the title sounds whiny and it is truly not meant to be. I merely wish to state how I'm feeling when it comes to the Steampunk Community. None of my friends have any interest in Steampunk, and neither does my spouse. It also doesn't help that so many people out there make these wonderous gizmos and the only steampunk attire and weapons i can seem to come up with are mass produced articles of clothing and modified NERF weapons. I am working on a Longstrike variation that i have yet to see,…See More
Captain Tobias Grey replied to Prof. Philomena Winfield Scott's discussion What's in a name? Lots and lots"My persona erupted strictly from the recesses of my mind. I was actually trying to come up with a Rennie persona and Tobias Grey just stuck out to me. My fellow faire goer jibed that Tobias Grey was a better SP name than a medieval name. So I chose…"
"Lets see...the Broomhandle Mauser -- officialy Pistole C96 -- came out in 1896 so is very late Victorian. Nice looking piece too.
The 1911 -- officially Model 1911 Colt Automatic Pistol -- is very interesting. Model 1911 is the US…"
"In whose world, Irishman, is the War of Northern Agression considered too early? Many of your fellow countrymen fought on both sides. The Colt 1851 Navy, the Colt 1860 Army ... and several others ... were carried by both sides."
John Campbell replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Steampunk fashion vs Steampunk Cosplay and a question of weapons..."Actually, if you consider the SteamPunk period to end with the beginning of the Great War (1914), the Colt 1911 is comfortably period. But I consider it entirely too conventional-looking; there were many weird-looking (by modern standards)…"
Captain Maximillian Drake replied to Captain Tobias Grey's discussion Steampunk fashion vs Steampunk Cosplay and a question of weapons..."The Broomhandle Mauser I must admit is kinda ugly in many ways............I guess its kind of an acquired taste if you wanna call it that. But 1896 definitly places it well within the propper period for SP. Now mind you, period is not a…"

Welcome to the Empire Capt. Grey! I can see by the discussion your in the thick of it. Just wanted to provide a link to the 42nd Airship Battalion page and the SCARS page, look them over and join if you like. Also here is a link to some Upcoming Meet-Ups and Events. Oh, by the way, keep looking for the right hat- when you see it you will know. However, it seems to me that most " Captains " have to wear more than one "hat".
