A drunk/high hippie chick grabbed me repeatedly and tried to force me to "move to the music." True story.<br /><br />At any rate, nice overview! Castle Falkenstein was my first exposure to steampunk (and remains one of my all-time favorite RPGs). When steampunk started making a comeback in the late 2000s, I was like, "Steampunk? That's <i>so</i> Nineties!"<br /><br />GURPS Steampunk is an excellent overview of the genre and, as always, includes a fantastic bibliography. Space 1889 was probably the first steampunk RPG. And of course H. G. Wells is the original steampunk author, as far as I'm concerned. Comics-wise, there were a couple Victorian Batman titles that definitely qualify as steampunk: <i>Gotham by Gaslight</i> and <i>Master of the Future</i>. For movies, I'd definitely include Miyazaki's <i>Castle in the Sky</i> and <i>Howl's Moving Castle</i>. In fact, anime seems to have cornered the market on steampunk: <i>Steam Boy</i>, <i>Full Metal Alchemist</i>, etc., etc.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.com
