Thax has been a member of some part of the Austin Larp community since 1991, swinging couch foam in the front yard. He has played Amtgard, the High Fantasy Society, and Vampire the Masquerade, and has gone on to co-write and publish his own game system. He also enjoys building costumes and props as well as simple electronic gadgets.
"I'm most attracted to the excitement the Victorians had on a future built on science. The promises of steam power and electricity, those were their new alternative fuels! Today I see steampunk as a movement of rebellion against our polluting stagnant world, the wonders of discovery out of reach of regular people. I thrill at the revisiting of technologies ignored or underdeveloped. That's what Steampunk is all about for me."
I don't know about all of that "founding" business. I just wanted to be in a club with people who were excited about DOIN' stuff.
