As we look for fuel for our imaginations and inspirations for Steampunk literature, let us not be bound by Anglophilia and focus on adventures based in Europe. (Weird West folk excepted) I shall not…Continue

Greetings Friends! I heard a radio program today about the band mentioned in the discussion title, checked out further on-line, and thought well to share such. If they don't know about Steampunk,…Continue
Where on the Forum might we share stories?

Though I have been a member of the Forum for a time now, I need some guidance. I have recently shared my opinion on discussions that for me (and not all), Steampunk needs more substance as far as…Continue

Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"Good Evening Mister Bear,
Too long has it been since I have communicated. -Focussed on the house and cleaning up from Winter's ravages. -Still under way. I do appreciate the piece you have drawn our attention to. I too, appreciate its'…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal replied to Kris MacNaughton's discussion Newcomer seeks help."I agree with Imogen, to a degree, that a "persona" is needless. Role-playing at a con is kind of like preaching to the choir. -Sometimes it's fun when a Steampunk event takes us into an interface with the "public". That…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal replied to Kris MacNaughton's discussion Newcomer seeks help."My Dear Kris,
I have read your missive and but skimmed the replies. The Steampunk World is one of fantasy, and very few rules. I think, to have fun with your persona, portray it well, and be excited about developing it, your persona should be the…"
Timur replied to Dr. Nicholas Teal's discussion Timur and the Dime Museum"It is very awesome to read your post - my friend sent me a link to what you wrote!! We have actually performed at Steamcon III in Seattle in October 2011, and would LOVE to check out the scene again...and if you have any suggestions, I am all ears!…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"subject: GHOST HUNTING. why: Because I mentioned it several posts ago, and I felt I left an end untied. I have no problem with those who ghost hunt. Personally, I have had enough experiences in Life where I don't question survival into the…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"If you have the budget, and means to cut, by all means go for the aluminum! "
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"Lady Kendra,
There is in Massachusetts, a long standing fraternal militia based (I think), at Faneuil Hall in Boston, called "The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company".
It might be fun to do a spin-off on the name. Also: The Steampunk…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"Ryan,
Do you really need to invest in /look for aluminum plate, or could you use MDF, or something else? -I am intrigued. I'd love to see what you're working on."
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"Watched the Horribles Parade! -Great! Maybe we can march as Veterans of the Great Airship Invasion of 1897? Again, a reason to build a Steampunk version of an 88mm FLAK gun mounted on bicycle wheels. -Group Project!"
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"Is the "Ancient and Horribles" a play on "Ancient and Honorables"? Having marched in my share of parades, I found they always tickled the sarcastic, ironic, and bizzaro part of my brain. I always thought the behind the scenes,…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"What I'm focussing on is an interesting place in our area of operations, that has a picnic ground, public bathrooms, and will tolerate our eccentric appearance. The Steampunk element is admittedly, quite a stretch for one of the Fort's…"
Dr. Nicholas Teal commented on Baldur Makepeace Bear's group SouthCoast New England Steampunks"The Fort in question is Fort Tabor-Fort Rodman in New Bedford. -Why the hyphenated name, I don't know. I have driven through the site, and it looks fairly civilized. Mrs. English is tight with New Bedford, and was involved with the SCA event.…"

Dr. Teal,
My good man, so glad that you survived the airship crash and the fussys in the Congo. I think I have perfected the hyper-air sack, which should improve the function of your airship. Please see me when you are next in Scotland.

Mr English said… I say, old top! Found this and was wondering if it might pique your interest?

Bit of the old ultra violence, without so much violence! I think it would be smashing good fun and would add a bit as a demo piece to a Fair or Fete!

Thessalonica Jones said… Hi, yes it is me again :). I wanted to see how you and your lovely wife were doing these days. I sincerely hope that you are well and happy and life is treating you with the greatest of kindness. I have been keeping you both in my thoughts and have wanted to inquire as to how you are for a while now. Please, if it is not too much bother, leave me a quick message and let me know what is going in your lives. Have a wonderful Sunday, and take good care of each other, your Steampunk buddy, Thess.

Nicci T. said… Hello! Yes, I was there at the Charles River Museum on Saturday, from about 1:30 to 3:00 pm. I was mostly up where the vendors were. I had on a green dress, a small black hat with a big scrimshaw cardinal pin on it, other scrimshaw cardinal jewelry, and jingle bells.
