Hey, what’s the deal with The Steampunk Consortium?
In essence, our gatherings are characterized by a sense of camaraderie and enjoyment.
On the days we convene, we don our finest Victorian, Edwardian, or Steampunk attire and engage in conversation and revelry. We even organize picnics and excursions to scenic destinations for dining or embarking on adventures, such as our recent excursion to Decatur, Indiana, where we met at Famous Monsters Pizza and immersed ourselves in a Steampunk experience. Additionally, we participate in events like Steampunk Themed Festivals and Conventions. Festivals, such as the Old Washington Street Festival in Muncie, Indiana, provide an exhilarating and annual favorite. Furthermore, we relish the opportunity to collaborate with other groups to share in the festivities. The avenues for gathering are boundless, and we remain receptive to novel suggestions.
Mission Safe Space
At the Steampunk Consortium, we prioritize creating a safe and inclusive environment where all individuals feel valued and respected. We firmly condemn bigotry, bullying, and intimidation in any form. Our community welcomes everyone regardless of their age, ethnicity, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
To maintain a harmonious atmosphere, we adhere to strict rules against chaos and drama.
If you disagree with someone’s personal views or preferences, it is advisable to refrain from expressing them. We expect all members to exhibit respectful behavior and adhere to appropriate social etiquette. When discussing controversial topics or engaging in behavior that may be considered offensive, it is recommended to politely disengage rather than prolong the interaction.
The Steampunk Consortium aims to immerse ourselves in the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1837-1914), incorporating elements of Diesel-punk, Goth, and Wild West aesthetics in our attire and character portrayals. However, our primary objective is to establish a “Safe Space” where everyone can feel welcome, forge meaningful connections, and receive the support they require.
We sincerely hope that the Steampunk Consortium will become a safe and welcoming haven for all. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement, striving to achieve our goals effectively.
The Polite Society’s conduct guidelines are highly valued during group activities.
Hey, so what’s Steampunk all about?
In the realm of Steampunk, there is no singular definition, akin to asking 100 enthusiasts what Steampunk entails, and receiving 105 distinct responses, all equally valid. However, certain fundamental principles guide our approach, and we often incorporate elements of “Time Travel” into our creations. Consequently, if your character possesses the ability to traverse time, virtually any persona is permissible. Nevertheless, it is advisable to maintain the Victorian, Gothic, or Edwardian aesthetic, incorporating contemporary adaptations.
Modern technological devices exhibit remarkable adaptability. Similar to a conscientious time traveler who seeks to preserve the natural essence of their surroundings, most “modern technology” can be concealed within other objects. For instance, a mobile phone could be concealed within a book cover. However, occasionally, displaying the modern element can significantly distinguish between “reenactment” and “fantasy” interpretations of Steampunk themes. Ultimately, it is the desired experience that determines the level of immersion into the Steampunk world.
Should the intricacies of Steampunk appear perplexing, rest assured that each individual possesses their own unique backstory and presentation guidelines. When we convene, it is the amalgamation of diverse styles and camaraderie that fosters a profound sense of unity and a vibrant cosplay community.

Nevertheless, we encourage you to attend a meeting, participate in an event, or engage in conversations with fellow Steampunk enthusiasts. By observing the characters and immersing yourself in their world, you may inadvertently discover a latent affinity for Steampunk within yourself.
