Doh! Forgot to reply! Metropolis does indeed look roughly like the pictures I posted, at least at the downtown heart of the city. It was a grand experiment from the beginning to build the "City of Tomorrow." And I don't understand the question about Classic. Did Metropolis exist in 1.0. I...

I like MonSoc! Most of the people who subscribe to Beutelism are simple, angry, illiterate hordes in a world where the climax of the Enlightenment ended in genocide, civil wars, a new Caesar and mass murder. They are just desperate for anything. Beutel pretty much stumbled into fame. He's...

It's basically anarchy but based on one man's book. I based it on Victorian stereotypes of "bomb throwing anarchists." I know some anarchists and it's usually deeper than "get rid of all law and government." But Beutel is like "get rid of all law and government." Creating Beutel himself was my...

^Thanks a lot! I love Bioshock Infinite but the rough ideas of WMIT goes back to a story I had to write for a school project when I was about 15 that had a xenophobic, ultra religious, President named Joe Steele. The main inspiration I drew from Bio was the idea of the Patriot Saints. Even Burr...

I pretty much agree with all that, hence why I wanted to redo it. Lol I was like "this could be a VERY interesting universe if nurtured slowly and properly." I know some people don't like "giving excuses" for people's evil actions, but writing up villain origin stories has always been my...

This is EXACTLY why I wanted to reboot WMIT in 2018. I saw my old TL had so much space for petty squabbles and backstabbing between larger than life characters in bizarre situations and said "That's a story I want to tell." Two years later, here we are. Pennington is only a sign of things to...

WOW this is bad. Homo Italicus literally sounds like TTL's scientific Marxism. I would be in bad trouble in the 1800s because I look VERY Italian. Lol

"AND FLOGGINGS SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES, CAPTAIN FARNESWORTH!" *Shoves black gloved finger in chest of "protaganist" and throws tray of coffee and crackers onto floor for no reason* *uncomfortable trembling mocap lips* "AND STOP STARING AT THE SUPPLE AND AMPLE BOSOM OF THAT...

I got it, I got it! In a game you get promised a full campaign playing as a Fundie trooper. "Muahaha," you laugh, rubbing your hands together. "I can't wait to play as a bad guy to learn how even otherwise decent people can be convinced conquest of other peoples is the answer to society's ills...

IF WMIT could ever be an official media thing I am sure I would have to change names. Lincoln could probably stay, as could Custer. But shit like Billy Graham would probably become "Evan Grahame" or shit like that. Oswald would probably loosely look like JFK. They would probably insist that...

RISE OF THE SECOND PROPHET: OF OVERTONS AND ANARCHY The Overton Agency was founded in 1892 by Sherman J. Overton II, scion of a wealthy Delaware family. The family trade was private security, such as at mines throughout Appalachia, factories in New England, banks, and much more. They were...

I don't even wanna imagine how many hours I wasted in SR The Third. lol And I can't remember if it has been in canon yet but there is a Nipponese port called Steeleport which is basically a nod. And my gosh that saluting statue is perfect. It even looks like it has an AFC Sunburst symbol on the...

Yes, there was a bit of steampunk with the airships and all, although in my head I envisioned it a little closer to dieselpunk or a hybrid of the two. They were mentioned several times in the radio show, and this whole time I was actually planning on them being important. Believe it or...

Rally sons of New Canaan Land Sing her glory and strike up the band Fly high the gold, green and red For which our grandfathers bled Hail, hail, New Canaan Land Protected by God's almighty hand, Strong of heart and true to her name Hail, hail, New Canaan Land Sing her glory and strike up the...

^Hendrick will indeed be back soon. With great benefits as well! I hear their 401k is great if you actually make it to retirement. I'm going for less steampunk and more psuedo-dieselpunk/dustbowlpunk for now. Eventually the Union becomes "cyberfunk" or "cassette futurism." I actually have...

Random thought: in the event of an apocalypse, a surviving cadre of paramilitants form a fiefdom where everyone speaks corporatese at all times. "Good afternoon, Bob. I hope your day is systemically and categorically wonderful." "Well, Steve, it has been rather tenuous, as I am attempting to...

I figured this would be a great opportunity to show how the oft-mentioned merc armies actually work. And it's hilarious to think of a modern paramilitary operating like a bunch of Office Space paperpushers. I love tying in all the world building elements into one giant narrative where nothing is...

Joe Steele getting the news of Dick Pennington's Revolt: "What the FUCK, RICHARD." Also, I can't find a good illustration for Pennington. Everybody help me out!

Have to go to work but until then here is the first half! RISE OF THE SECOND PROPHET: OF OVERTONS AND ANARCHY The Overton Agency was founded in 1892 by Sherman J. Overton II, scion of a wealthy Delaware family. The family trade was private security, such as at mines throughout Appalachia...
