I'm down, though "early 20th century" sounds like a slightly harder era to work with - or maybe I just don't know a lot about the early 1900s.Though if I tell you I'm an oil man, well, you'll have to believe me.

Good to have a bit more interest. :)

When I say early 20th century, we're probably talking an era between the wars - perhaps the 1930's or such. That said, I might plump for the mid-fifties. The reason I've gone for this is because I don't feel the macabre really works in modern times - something about the aesthetic just seems off, especially the capacity for huge groups of people to mobilise via Twitter.

I was tempted to put the Dieselpunk label on this, but decided against it for three reasons:
- the actual gothic content of this is closer to Steampunk, really
- people might not know what that label meant and be put off by that
- I didn't want people to go 'omg I'll play an inventor with goggles' because there's always one with Steampunk/Dieselpunk
