I am throwing a Steampunk theme party. What kind of activities would be thematic and fun to do in-costume?

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Daragonadon asked:

The idea is that everyone will be in costume and the “venue” is a tavern on an airship. Besides drinking, what other kinds of games or activities would be theme-appropriate?
I also need some suggestions for decorations. So far, all we have is a tavern sign to hang up outside the front door. Any suggestions that won’t cost a fortune would be good.

I was considering taking it up as a hobby, and maybe make a bit of extra money on the side. I am a really big SteamPunk.

Steampunk, Cyberpunk? Why?

Sunday, March 28th, 2010
Maddy asked:

I’ve heard of the genres steampunk and cyberpunk. But why is there always a “punk” at the end? And are there any other genres with “punk” added on… Because these are the only two I’ve heard of.

A few steampunk questions?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010
sqoll1382 asked:

1. Where can I find more steampunk terminology?
2. Where can I buy steampunk stuff in Los Angeles?
I found out about it a few years ago, after I left seattle unfortunately ( I heard it’s big out there), and fell in love with it. Now I’m putting together a realm for my novel and I was it to be very steampunk-esque. Thanks

How can I get a steampunked computer?

Lissy asked:

I’ve recently came across the concept of steampunk, and I LOVE much of it!
I’ve always liked older things, antique’s and such, and the idea of combining new with old like steampunk does absolutely intrigues me. My house already has an antique theme, but I think it would be so neat to have a steampunked computer. Do you know of anyone that could do that for me? About how much would such a thing cost, assuming that I provide the computer. I’m not really mechanically inclined. Thanks!

What are the basic ingredients in alchemy?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
Snowprincss asked:

I’m making a steampunk-esque alchemy kit, and I need to know the basic ingredients used in 18th/19th century alchemy. By basic I mean like silver nitrate, cadmia, etc. The websites I’ve found have given me conflicting information (ie, Wiki gives me 80+ ingredients, google shows me lists that have only 7, etc).

How do I make a steampunk fantasy world?

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
JKSemloh asked:

I want to create a word with elements of steampunk, magic, and fantasy. The only thing is, I don’t know how. If anyone has read His Dark Materials or The City Of Ember, I’m trying to go along the lines of that, but how do I also stay away from copyrighting His Dark Materials or The City of Ember?
