Thank you for the video. I like going to the events for the music & I did pick an appropriate outfit for it & I did have a great time. Now however it's not my particular style all the time I'm more of a Trad, Victorian, Corp for work however I just feel more comfortable in just a Band T-shirts

Life saver! My friend is doing rpg session in cyberpunk universe and I had no idea about what it is at all.

Quite a bit of Cyberpunk is actually Decopunk, like Blade Runner & Bioshock.

Does anyone have a link to the lemuria game? Im interested!

[EDVgamer]

Can anyone give me information on Mantecosa (7:21). Both youtube and google can't find anything. Perhaps it is known by another name?

Another movie that I think would fit into sail punk is Disney's treasure planet
