Didn't expect THAT to blow up!
I used steampunk as a shorthand for "magic replacing technology that is anachronistic to a medieval setting"; the airships, lightning rails, Sharn, warforged, artificers, magewrights, etc. It wasn't entirely accurate, but it conveyed the concept of "fantastical technology analogy" in short hand. Its probably closer to early Final Fantasy games, where kingdoms exist alongside giant robots and transforming castles, but it conveyed the idea that we aren't assuming a world of traditional medieval technology.
In short, it was inelegant, but not a slight against the setting.
Eh. I didn't mean it to come off too harsh. I think [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] did a good job of explaining why the "punk " part doesn't apply. My rambling about western kinda stems from what happens if you try to pull the punk out.
