The Ballad of Maddog Quinn

Reblog via Soft SciFi isBrill

Wanted and on the run, an infamous outlaw is pursued across the steam-powered dystopia of The State by a posse of relentless lawmen. In this desolate land of dust, rust and blood, there’s not many problems that a fast horse and a gun can’t solve, but things aren’t always what they seem on the wild wasteland frontier.

From time to time, as I find them, I will try to share splendid steampunk images here. These were half-inched (legally) from Wikipedia.

Mediaeval-Style Christmas Revels and Yuletide Markets And Evening Shenanigans 2023

Posted on | by Matt | Leave a Comment on Mediaeval-Style Christmas Revels and Yuletide Markets And Evening Shenanigans 2023

These images were previously shared by me on my blog.

The event – Mediaeval-Style Christmas Revels and Yuletide Markets And Evening Shenanigans – is something I recommend that all time-travellers drop in on. It was organised by the Steampunks of Gloucestershire.

Tea duelling

Yes, tea duelling is a thing. First, you need to put the kettle on and get the biscuits.

Yule log relay race

I ended up being the scorekeeper for the relay race. This was a fun event and produced one of my favourite ever action shots that I have taken. Racers required balance, speed, and dexterity to complete all the tasks and hand off for the second lap.
