Here’s a wonderfully made advertisement for thedarkpower’s Mechanical Steam Powered Power Plant and Geist Goggles. Awesome!

From his YouTube description, this was “just for fun, a small advert for some steampunk props I constructed.”

I’m so impressed! Not only are his props amazing, but he nailed the steampunk style in his video. Someone give this guy a job in Hollywood!

League of Steam: Zed’s Clutter Calamity

   Posted by: manny

I sure love these videos by The League of Steam. This time, the League goes off to investigate paranormal activity, and they leave zombie Zed to clean up the house.

You gotta love a steampunk zombie, and bonus points for the steampunk ghosts. This is awesome, someone needs to give these guys their own TV show!

Internet Gentleman Sings Steampunk Song

   Posted by: manny

Want to hear a cool steampunk song? Check out this original tune by Endarkened93. LOL, great song, I love it!

The lyrics are great. Here is a snippet:

You know you wanna wear a
Victorian era
vest and a cape
or a gown and tiara
with a green mohawk
and gloves that rock
a utility belt, goggles
and a pocket clock

The full lyrics are posted on YouTube. Thanks, Endarkened93. Very well done!

Amelia Harker: Steampunk Character Costume

   Posted by: manny

Take a look at this gorgeous steampunk costume, created by Pyro the Maniac, aka Courtney Coombs, one of Australia’s best cosplayers. Isn’t this awesome?

Courtney created her own steampunk character named Amelia Harker. So not only did she design an awesome costume, but she came up with a great story to go along with it!

Courtney says:

This is my Steampunk costume that I’ve been working on for awhile now. It’s strange that I started sewing bits and pieces of the costume without ever having drawn a design first. But I already had the goggles, the gloves, the top hat, the necklace, fobwatch (not pictured), shirt and the boots.

As I was making the costume I started building up a story for it:

The character is Amelia Harker; she is an explorer of the Australian outback in 1872. She was born to convict parents, but found her wealth during the goldrush. She also has a partner; Flint Dawson (pictures coming soon). A former Union soldier from Indiana who travelled to Australia because of the aformentioned goldrush. But the thing is, they exist in an alternate world where the pleistocene megafauna never went extinct.

Imagine giant marsupials wandering around the vast untamed outback. It sure would make things alot more exciting.

A company called OneSevenDesign is giving away a free steampunk RPG to anyone who’s interested. Called Lady Blackbird, the game centers around the title character and her adventures aboard The Owl ship.

Lady Blackbird is a steampunk adventure module for 2-6 people. It contains a starting situation, setting, pregen characters, and quick-play rules perfect for a no-prep game of 1-6 sessions or more.

Lady Blackbird is on the run from an arranged marriage to Count Carlowe. She hired a smuggler skyship, The Owl, to take her from her palace on the Imperial world of Ilysium to the far reaches of the Remnants, so she could be with her once secret lover: the pirate king Uriah Flint.

HOWEVER, just before reaching the halfway point of Haven, The Owl was pursued and captured by the Imperial cruiser Hand of Sorrow, under charges of flying a false flag.

How will Lady Blackbird and the others escape the Hand of Sorrow?

Go. Play. And find out.
