  ACT III

  SCENE I:  The next day, in the smaller of the two libraries in the Lanza home.  CR&A+K are present.  It is nearly 1330, the time for their scheduled meeting with Lord Francis.  They are seated at a long table, conversing quietly.  Lucrezia is also present, seated in a corner, as usual.  The door opens and Lord Francis and Lady Tekla enter.  CR&A+K fall silent.  Lord Francis takes the seat at the head of the table.  Lady Tekla seats herself to his left.…

Lockhart & Doppler six part penny dreadful, Part Two

Part 2. The Life and Crimes of Lockhart and Doppler

“The Stone of The Sons of Horus”

The odour in the cellar was quite overwhelming now, Bert Flowers had loosed his bowels in terror of Doppler and her syringe; of course, having yours sincerely hold a gun to your head doesn’t help either. 

 I knew who Bert was talking about,…

Steampunk Action Shooting

Following on my “Steampunk 101” article published in the August issue of “The Cowboy Chronicles”, the Logans Ferry Regulators added a steampunk theme to their October Cowboy Action Shooting match. I looked on it as an opportunity to spread the…

Captain Cornelius Pumpernickel's story

Today we took to the sky for the first time aboard the S.S. Ship Happens. I am still getting use to the new ship . Because flying an airship is a lot different than selling a ship on the sea. Some of the man are getting airsick which is something none of us were ever used to. For you see we were all pirate bounty hunters sailing the open seas. But you're probably all wondering how I ended up piloting an airship. Well I aim to tell you.



It all started at New Providence, an island…

Lockhart & Doppler. Six Part Penny Dreadful. Part 1

This was the very first story based on mine and my daughters alter egos; Lucy Lockhart and Theodora Doppler. I deliberately gave myself a page limit just to see if I could do it. This story was first posted at: http://www.lockhartdoppler.blogspot.co.uk/ because I do not believe it's good enough to publish as an actual book. There have since been three more six part shorts and another 8 complete stories. See what you…

Space 1889 Re-release

Released by Game Designers’ Workshop in 1988, Space 1889 was the first dedicated steampunk role playing game. Frank Chadwick had almost literally created a game that was ahead of its time because, while it had its fans and never really died out, it never really took off either. It was re-released in 2000 but it was still running ahead of the curve as the steampunk scene really hadn’t happened yet.…

Map

Doppler and I have discovered a map in the British Library, tucked away in a dusty old tome. Looks like someone forgot they put it there. I'm sure no-one will miss it if we 'borrow' it for a while...

Steampunk Weekend at Old West Fest

As the steampunk weekend at the Old West Festival was to coincide with the Pandora Society's Steampunk Salon, even though I am running low on funds I decided to combine the two, splurge, and get a room for the night. There had been some talk about a local hotel having favorable rates for…

I've Got a Special Hat...

My wife and I recently purchased a pair of Jack Skellington pendants for the purpose of embellishing our Halloween costumes and maybe adding a little steampunk flair.  The pictures below are of me in the hat.  I salvaged the hat band from an old hat that I had created and sewed one of the pendants onto it.  Here is the result:…

Pittsburgh Comicon 2014

I have been costuming for too long and have won enough awards to not generally concern myself with costume contests. But I was so pleased with my high-concept Steampunk Django, and especially the coffin/carbonite/freezer unit that I decided I was going to give the contest at Pittsburgh Comicon a try.

I also typically go on Saturday but because I am becoming increasingly broke, I went for just the one day on Sunday for the…
