Pure Steam rocked GenCon Indy this year. Too indie to afford a proper booth, we roamed the grounds.
Dr. Bertrand Ecklund, recently exiled from Summit City on accusations of ‘unnatural experimentation,’ represented the game.
A team of ghost-busting steampunks provided security.
Steampunk Santa is real, and frequents Indy’s food trucks.
We were able to hook up with some Kickstarter backers to run some playtest sessions.
Wyvacon is Wytheville, VA’s sci-fi convention. Why is it near and dear to us at Pure Steam? Well, it takes place a stone’s throw from Bluefield, the basis for Ullera’s capitol of Summit City. It’s organized by Chris DeHart, one of our artists. And it’s as indie as we are, and we love underdogs. Wyvacon had over 300 attendees. Not bad for a first go!
The 501st were there, as well as some awesome cosplayers. There was even some organized Pathfinder play. All in all it was awesome!
We were on hand at Wyvacon to meet with Appalachian steampunks and sci-fi fans, as well as to promote the game. There were some cosplayers whose characters could have been plucked from Ullera!
First two pics are from Brian Funk, blogger at The Signal.
He made his own costume!
Easy, Aunt Sadie. Save it for the goblins.
A fumigant mask. Gas your foes without inhaling chemicals…probably not OSHA approved.
Our Fumigant with a hostage. She looks way too comfortable with her fate.
