A steam Punk/Vintage futuristic realm.

Postby Treiton » Sun Jul 14, 2013 1:17 pm

This realm is going to be HOPEFULLY new and creative. Many people have tried creating/using/building upon a steam punk realm, and it generally is relatively successful and considered ok. My opinion? It isnt. So far, I have yet to see anyone who goes deep ENOUGH into a steampunk realm. They have a few aspects that are very very cool, for example, some games and books have the weapons covered very nicely, and oh man they are cool. But wat some of them dont realize is that this is steampunk. You can go waaaaay furthur, and be far more creative and exploring with these things. another one of my favorite aspects is the airships. I mean, some on. who doesnt love giant friggin dreadnoughts in the SKY. But honestly, the same thing going on there, some things do have the battleships with the massive ballons, but lets be honest. thats like, first era stuff. Why stop at ballons? I mean, come on. Hot air ballons evolved into blimps, and WHO KNOWS what blimps will evolve to, so all Im saying is, lets take this deeper. Also. Freaking spike guns. They are awesome, but they are SO overused. Nearly every single steampunk game, show, movie, book, all of them have some version or other of a spike gun. Generally, all they are is essentially and spinning saw blade being launched out of a set of rails. While this is cool, let's be honest here. Why not have eight saw blades? or why not use that cool technology you have to have the saw electrocute everything around where it hits? Anyone, im done rambling, this was just supposed to be an intro, but anyway, Post opinions, what you think there needs to be, pictures you have seen, blah blah blah.
Stay Classy.

Not nesseccarily. It is pretty much a discussion for a possible RP, all whilst outlining the realm in which it takes place.

I feel as if Steampunk is Portal to Multiverse.

What he said. This is not a realm, YET, it merely could be two things, A) a discussion of what is wrong with current Steampunks, and B) what a steampunk realm should be.

Possibly, but I think steampunk is far more specific.

It can be, though only if we have a setting with specific "nation slots" like seen in Earth:Empires (though they have their ways of scooting it into II).

So ideas. Like the Third Uli War, I strongly believe there needs to be a "villain" faction that acts against us (the "good guys") but which can be played by all of the participants at any one time (for example, though I created the Uli Dominion, other players within the group also RP as them).

Also, who's going to be playing this? Is this going to be open to everyone or closed/invite?

The idea process is open for now, I want to get a lot of opinions and ideas and whatnot, butonce the ideas and realm start to form, It will become closed.

Also, Right now I would prefer to focus on what kind of things are coolest in steampunks, and what your favorite/least favorite aspects are.

Airships and landships are always pretty awesome (MikeDoscher on deviantart has some cool stuff on this).

I'd like to think steampunk as an extension of science-fiction, complete with massive contraptions and machines that do wondrous and destructive things.

Here is a pretty advanced image of an airship. This is what Im looking for. Not this specifically of course, but this is advanced, 2nd or 3rd era steampunk.

Alright, from sky, to land, both are awesome, and while I prefer airships, landships are freaking cool too.
There are gun carriers

These may be considered forms of tanks, and they are awesome.
Next are the trains. These things are works of beauty.
