Though the current trends in tabletop roleplaying are for loose, flexible designs…games like Numenera, Fate Core, even (arguably) the latest edition of Dungeons & Dragons…there is still a very large part of the hobby devoted to the meticulously-detailed games of yore. With roots firmly tracing back to the hobby’s wargame origins, games like Pathfinder and Shadowrun continue to draw massive crowds and have […]

TradeCraft Bonus: The Discombobulous Workshop
Where does Warhammer 40K meet Harry Potter and vampure slaying with steampunk added as a bonus? The answer is Ninian Marsh’s Discombobulous Workshop. It’s an impressive collection but Marsh argues the store has help and that there are many minions, the Automatons, clockwork robots that produce all the wonderful items that go on sale at […]
Steampunk goes native in Savant’s Kali 47
If some of the steampunks in this Savant – Kali 47 look familiar it is because they’re from the League of S.T.E.A.M. Less familiar is the story. This is supernatural meets Steampunk meets a good ol’ cowboy story. In this case; a story that’s available in 4K should want to burn bandwidth. Warning: Dubstep.
Steampunk candle uses incredible design
I need this candle! What on Earth is going on here? This clever design is called the “60 Hour Candle” and, yeah, beeswax candle lasts for about 60 hours. The coil of wax burns at the rate of three-inches for every hour, or there abouts, and as it’s 180 inches long that gives you plenty […]

Steampunk Frankenstein monster cake
Impressive cakes are one of the standout memories of 2014 for me. This particular cake, safely in the wow-impressive scale, is by Crazy-Sweet.de and shows a Frankenstein’s Monster with a strong steampunk vibe to it. As you can just see in Tobias Wilhelm’ photograph the cake took home gold. Now wonder stores like Lakeland and […]
Beautiful steampunk voyages from Didier Graffet
These stunning illustrations are from the French artist Didier Graffet. Even when they’re packed with action, explosions and danger, they manage to have something soft and sombre about them. He’s been a professional illustrator since 1994 and draws his inspirations from holiday travel through Scotland and other places. I see steampunk in many, if not […]
What would a steampunk Game Boy look like?
Artist Elise Siegwald designed and converted this steampunk Game Boy before putting pictures up on Behance. The French artist used thread, acrylic paint and clock parts for the effective case-modding.
TradeCraft Bonus: 7 sets of steampunk inspired shoes
Steampunk is as much a style as it is a genre. While I agree that you can’t just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk I think it highly likely that the gear, or cog, would likely be a fashion focus in many steampunk realities. Steampunk shoes, therefore, don’t need to have little […]
