These videos are coming in handy, one of my friends wants to do a Steampunk D&D game based loosely* around the themes and story of the Phantom of the Opera, using these to help build my fundamental knowledge on the subject so I can properly build out the world and mull over how a steampunk setting would change, well, everything. Also thinking about what twists and inventions I could introduce into this kind of setting to keep things interesting

The arts and crafts movement started in poland

Not sure where Gaudi fits in this picture, but Dark Elf (Dunmer) architecture, particularly in The Elder Scrolls Online is very Gaudi inspired. As the rather strange lore of that video game series doesn't recognize human art movements, they explain the organic designs in a literal fashion with some houses being fashioned from the corpses of GIANT insects. And Sagrada Família remains under construction in our world 😂

Thanks for the opportunity to work on this video with you!

I always enjoy your channel. I need to remember to pop back here more often!

indeed. i figured that most everything is just a variation of cyberpunk but aesthetic of a specific era. i would say the closest to "dieselpunk" story is the anime version of metropolis, which ofcourse is a reimagining of the original metropolis and that was just normal scifi futurism for that era. almost all of these "punks" are just new works trying to emulate the aesthetics of old versions of the whole scifi genre

Thank you for the history lesson. Beauty is a joy to my soul. I love the Nouveau style.

why dont have more games and movies with steampunk esthetic ??

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this work! Congratulations on the video!!!

Gears of War

that is why we dont ahve any steampunk series is soo hard to make it

I really appreciate historical content like this!

we need more steampunk worlds :(

Cool video. I knew some of it, but I would argue with some of it, mostly about the birthdates. Still, the whole thing is fascinating! Looking forward to the next one man.

My costumes a victorian sharpshooter so of course i have a musket strapped over my shoulder with a couple of attachments on it like a scope and tubes

Can't wait for it, this bound to be epic

How would you think America would use the steam punk technology and what type of? Tanks or other weapons would be used there?

I’m actually working on a story which will have elements of steam punk and some other cool and amazing ideas. I’ve read that steam punk can add many genres into stories and among will be some superheroes and heroes of the 19th century. Just tell me what you think?

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Incredible 🎉🎉🎉 video.

I always looked at it as Steampunk representing innovation and hand-crafted aesthetics, while Dieselpunk represents industrialization and mass-produced aesthetics. In Steampunk, everything is pretty new and fancy-looking, often too advanced for the time it's set in (Bioshock is an excellent example, as is the Prey Remake). Whereas Dieselpunk is where the dirty, grimy, well-used tech is, and innovation is minimal because effort is focused on making more of the same thing (Gundam 8th MS Team, Star Wars). In a Steampunk universe, a pistol will always have a distinctly "retro sci-fi" look that often looks like polished metals. Take that same pistol, and put it in a Dieselpunk setting, and you'll see the polish fade, oil and rust on the finish, and the "retro" look replaced by a utilitarian standard-issue look. Everybody in Steampunk has money to spend on, or knowledge to create, flashy new gear; people in Dieselpunk are often average joes making minimum wage, so they all buy the same used gear.

You know it's great when Last Exile is being talked again. Love this series!!

Rocketeer has that feel. As does League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I like the ideas you're showcasing here, but some elements of the presentation could be rearranged and streamlined to better appeal to a larger portion of the TTRPG-playing public. The core ideas seem interesting, but the narration is difficult to follow (just a bit mumbley and unclear, nothing terrible, but it needs work) and much of the public-domain art is so low resolution that I can't tell what it's meant to be. Also, the exposition would work much better if *reversed* . Humans care about other people, and their emotions. We don't care all that much about worldbuilding and late 16th century Points of Departure until you've told us *why* it's emotionally important to the characters we care about. If you want folks to *pay attention* You should start with *who* the Player Characters are, why *they* are emotionally invested in the Rifts, and *what* they are doing about the Rifts. Mixed in with the previous two bit of exposition you can include why the Rifts are *dangerous* (creatures, etc.). Once the viewer understands the characters and stakes and how the characters *feel* about the stakes... then, and *only* then should you talk about 'dry' topics like their organization, and some bits about the world building. The bespoke art is nice, it's got a good feel, a kind of naive pulpy aesthetic that meshes well with the setting. Showing more of the design/concept art and fewer generic old paintings and woodcuts would also help hold the viewer's attention. I really hope you all succeed with this project, but perhaps you could consult with authors and designers who have already released similar, successful projects. A little bit of assistance from someone who's already been there can really help when you're starting out on a big project... especially as you're about to launch a Kickstarter.

Ridley Scott did this for ALIEN!! 👽

Sounds like quite the experience

I loved your booth. It was a real eye-catcher.

it took me a secondd to realize why there isn't much Dieselpunk in Europe. the 30s and 40s weren't exactly the best time to be there.

Been listening to this for years. Its a shame you dont make more. I guess its tough working with the artists involved. 😢 Best wishes from across the Atlantic.

I wish more steampunk rpgs focused more on being science fiction over fantasy. So I'm glad that you are making one like that.

Thanks, interesting. Good thought about not having bonuses in dice rolls.

Thanks! Question - when it comes to writing short stories to supplement your main book, do you actually try and sell these, or do you just post them online for maximum visibility?

Very insightful video 🦀

Weirdly unique series like this from the 80s to the 2000s is something that is sorely lacking in todays anime.

Hello, it's been 7 years since I've seen your channel. Your videos on the history of the steampunk inspired me to make my first costume for a masquerade ball in my middle school. I'm glad I found you again, and you're still kicking it. Well done. Keep going!

I know where this design is from 😂😂

3:09 The Last Exile saids Claudia is a Fluoresent blue ore, the only thing that closely resembles that description are Sapphires but sapphires is a form of Corundum a crystalline from of Aluminum Oxide and can not be melted into a liquid. It can be melted but it reverts back into a crystalline as it cools down. Short Answer: Regardless of the material Claudia may be made out of, in the end it is not needed to generate an anti-gravity effect at all. Claudia either a medium to the process of lift or assist in powering the effect. Long Answer: A hollow out pipe coilded into a toroid-shape and fill it with a super-dense fluid (that of a white-dwarf star material) Oscillated back-and-forth rapidly enough an alternating push-pull gravity field will be generated at the center of the torus. This was based on an unproven prediction on general relativity that state all rotating masses frame drag and thus twist the surrounding space-time. which produces something nowadays confusingly called Gravito-ElectroMagnitism. Gravito-ElectroMagnitism & Gravito-Magnitism have no relation to ElectroMagnetism at all and are called that as an analogy. Gravito-ElectroMagnitism refers to cause where gravity behaves similar to ElectroMagnitism that all. Where charge and magnetic fields are replaces by mass and torsion fields the ladder meaning 'to twist'. Hard to believe a thing s posable but in 2004 the gravity probe B satellite confirmed that the earth does indeed twist the surrounding spacetime. Ignored to get over the issue of using white-dwarf star material as the torsion medium by replacing with the Quantum Electrodynamic 'QED', vacuum-field which can be treated as a kind of ever-present superfluid. Under the appropriate conditions, spinning matter and electromagnetic fields can produce a toroidal vortex, a smoke ring, in the QED vacuum superfluid. This produces an 'ElectricMagnetoToroid' as it's a ElectroMagnetic toroid vortex in the quantum vacuum, distinct from a simple ElectroMagnetic field. The vortex in the quantum vacuum is far more effective at twisting spacetime than any ultra-dense matter/fluid. The quantum vacuum vortex i.e. ElectricMagnetoToroid would whirl around twisting spacetime along with it producing the desired GravitoMagnetic/protational field. Consisting of a coaxial superconducting condenser, wrapped with a toroidal superconducting coil that whole assembly would be ten-meters in diameter. A gigavolt electric current is pulsed for a picosecond at a time, equating t a frequency of one terahertz, with a magnetic field strength of one-hundred tesla and spinning with a rim-speed of one percent the speed of light (three million meters per second). One hundred Tesla can be generated relatively easily by pinching the magnetic field and likewise for a gigavolt electric field. the required rotation rate is a bit of a problem to put it mildly. (Claudia could be the substance that solves the rotation rate.)

Loved the "Attack on Titan" reference!

20:33 not that it matters, but that photo of Wojtek isn’t real. Look at the mortar operators hats. Those are SS men. Wojtek wouldn’t be anywhere near them.

Alex Rowe more like Alex Rogue

That's great advice!

6K is a BIG deal! Congratulations! Even though there are hose with millions on youtube, this is a big deal, you have to look at your niche. Keep it up!
