Steampunk is an intersection of technology where the future meets the past, Victorian era inventions clash with dark alternate realities, inventions that are a blend of the modern and anachronistic. A steampunk gameworld consists of old steam-powered technology combined with new electrical devices and machinery, bringing industrial-age technology into the dark age, and skipping the renaissance period.
