Okay, so, I've had thoughts stewing in my head for sometime. Among them, is a fresh idea for roleplaying. Do the words "steam punk" mean anything to anyone? XD

Ehem. As our great master Wikipedia puts it:
"Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes fictional works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era Britain—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, often featuring futuristic technology as the people of this historical period would have envisioned it to look like, i.e. based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer, but occurring at an earlier date.
Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" for such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine)."

@Jane: Back off, you little runt. XP More then enough dogs at home as it is. Lol. I'm trying to decide if I want to put in a general history of the world (and explain away why there's a massive leap in areo technology and the lack of a prussian empire pre-WWI) or just drop into the plotline. Thoughts?
@Raith: Go ahead; just don't expect lot of opportunities to ********. ^.^
Found the perfect picture for the direct crew. ;o

Fair enough; I'm not attached to anything in reality, particularly. Still, do you want a kind of back story? I'm kind of leaning that way, right now. But it does mean a delay, until at least tomorrow, if not late.r
