Re: General Discussion
Current post on science thread reminded me of something (but I didn't want to put this over there since someone might want to discuss science of exsercellular material). Anyway, I was at a few steampunk discussions over last several months and I heard definition of steampunk as retrotech SF based on Victorian science, fashion and lifestyle. Now the definition looks all right to me, but as it turned out, chance decided that I actually got to play cyberpunk as retrotech SF. I actually mean as retrotech SF, rather than actual SF, because the GM explicitly said that we'd be playing cyberpunk as people in the 80s were imagining the future, rather than either as we imagine the future or the way that future is going to be.
Now has anyone done any other retrotech SF, other than steampunk, dieselpunk and cyberpunk?
