I suppose Buffalo Bill (William F. Cody) is the person who ties everyone in the title together, so I listed him first. I believe all of these people qualify for an entry in the…Continue

OK, so not exactly steampunk, but I've had good results getting answers from other steampunks in the areas of cryptography, botany, and entomology, so I'm giving this a try. For a good 30+…Continue
Steam Powered Machine list...

I'm trying to think up a list of steam powered machines that people find interesting, impressive, or fun, to see. There's a reason, but telling it might be a spoiler. Anyway, so far I have: …Continue

- About you:
- I am cautious and suspicious by nature. Also terribly lazy. I spend a great deal of time inside my own head. I believe in Truth, Freedom, Justice, and Hope. I sleep a lot, and that lets me dream.
Since 2012 I have managed to type up several stories which take place in a steampunk universe. I suppose that makes me a writer, but I prefer the term "storyteller". I had some of these tales posted on the old steampunk empire site. I'm not certain what to do about them, at this point.

An explanation of face masks, and their ratings.
OK, not very steampunk, but with the current conditions, this may at least be informative for some people. Recently, the city council where I live has made the wearing of face masks in retail establishments mandatory. No definition of what amounts to a 'face mask' was stipulated, so I've been wearing a black bandana so I look like an old west outlaw. Heh. But the whole mask business seems to be a big deal, and I've done a fair amount of research into masks as protection dating…See More

Yet more coincidences relating to the character of Adele Calloway, her name, and fictional family. I'll point out once more that the name "Adele Calloway" simply popped into my head one day, in November of 2012. Just now, I decided to look up the name Calloway. It turns out to be not terribly uncommon in Texas, where Adele is from. There are a number of place names, and business names containing Calloway, and it is also the name of an early community in Texas, which is now a…See More

Steampunk props: #1 - Replica coins and currency
I'm going to try and recreate this series all over again. I like to have "period" (like there's an actual Steampunk period, right?) items around to inspire me, and to "use" if I ever go to any kind of steampunk event. Replica money is as good a place as any to start. (The whole issue of replica money is clouded by the fact that some people (and maybe agencies) think this is the same as counterfeiting. I don't see this as the case, but it limits what's available.) I've scoured…See More

Alright, I've decided to post a CR&A story. This is a short one, but it's one I've wanted to type up for some time, and now that I have, I'd like to let others read it. It's in my script format, and everything in it belongs to me! (Sorry, but I feel I need to say that.) Anyways -

Posted on April 24, 2020 at 9:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
By the standards of movies, and television, one is lead to believe that the most popular card based gambling game in the old west was poker. This is NOT true! It was Faro. (Or Pharo, or Pharaoh.)
Faro is a game of chance played with our "normal" 52 card deck, in what is now called "poker" size. (In the days of the Wild West, they were just as likely to be called a Faro Deck.) Faro requires a "layout" that looks like this:…
