Get your airships and grab your goggles, because it’s the not-really-Victorian Era or the Wild Wild West, and everything is leather corsets and clockworks!
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery, often set in an alternative history of the British Victorian era or American Wild West, in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has maintained mainstream usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power.

Prompts:
1. Expedition into the Unknown - Twenty thousand leagues under the sea? A mapmaking expedition into the wilds? Airship over the misty mountains? A trip to the moon! Perhaps space—the final frontier—on a steampunk ship, in search of a treasure planet.
2. Airships! The finest technology of the past-future has brought you this beautiful cruise liner. Maybe you’re crew, maybe you’re passengers. Best to hope that no one named this ship Titanic. Or Hindenburg.
3. Let’s be Pirates - Airship pirates! The sky’s the limit. There’s treasure and plunder to be found.
4. War - You’re at war. Maybe you’ve always been at war. It’s you or them, whoever they are. Demons, aliens, or just people living on the other side of an arbitrary human border.
5. Wild Wild West - Giant robots, luxury trains with their own laboratories, weird gadgets, and crazy adventures. Someone’s probably going to get tied to a train track while a villain twirls his moustache.
6. Crime-solving - Or crime-fighting. There’s a murderer to be tracked down, in this murky, fog-laden world, this London of eternal night.
7. Obligatory Zombies Option - How did zombies and steampunk become intertwined? Maybe it’s just their mutual popularity, or maybe it’s the awesomeness of fighting zombies in corsets and with steam-powered weaponry. Either way, zombies. It’s happening.
8. Choose your own Steampunk Adventure - Airship racing? Battle croquet? There are hundreds of steampunk books and movies in the world. Discover atlantis! Defeat death! Invent a clockwork computer!

How to play:
Post with your character and preferences in the subject line
Write an introduction about who your character would be in a steampunk world, and possibly a prompt or two for what kind of steampunk adventures you’d like to have.
Tag around and have fun!
