For example the name eludes me but one of my favorite horror stories is an old one about a man who falls in love with an automaton woman he mistakes for a real person. I could see someone labeling it steam punk. It is personal preference for me, and the overlap is par too the issue. It is really more that 90s to 2000s steampunk aesthetic I don't like. If we are just talking the use of technology like in the movie Frankenstein. I am fine with that. But when you have characters with all kinds of gadgets and baubles strapped to their body, and their clothing has that steam punk look, it just isn't form. So it isn't a rejection of Jules Verne or something. I wouldn't describe lamordia as steam punk to me. See it as straddling the line between the novel Frankenstein and the universal incarnations of the book. In the black box it is pretty vague but not what I would call steam punk. By DoD I believe it is labeled a renaissance domain. Still I tend to see it more like the classic frankenstein movies in that respect. And there are, I will grant, flashes of steam punk aesthetic over its history in the line.Here is the description of the people of Lamordia from the black box for instance.

And by the end of TSR era it seemed to be a more sophisticated place</blockquote>
