What I actually want to post about today is another great piece of news I got through my Ætherbox: Our friends in Finland have published their first Steampunk [...]

After feasting my eyes and imagination on Tee’s Steampunk take on Arabian Nights, I now had the pleasure of some Gaslight Fantasy by Pip. At first, I was not too impressed with Magic by Gaslight.
