Reply | Forward Message #2102 of 3903 |
Ok this thread might seem odd or strange but bear with me. I was
wandering if there has been story, books, or games that the
background have used both steampunk and biotechnogy for it's world or
society? Think orgainc technological material and internal workings
but still have the stumpunk feel. For some reason have I read or seen
this somewhere before. Any thoughts or suggestions?
