I am nowhere near being outfitted for any kind of steampunk role playing at this time, otherwise I would plunge wholeheartedly into a suggested day of time traveler chaos – I want to be with these people when they act out their ideas! On another forum, the ideas are wickedly fun and funny. For example, one suggested using a smoke machine to set the stage in which one comes running out in whatever period costume one chooses, preferably a futuristic one, and stop someone to ask them in panic “what year is this?!” and then time it so that a second person appears in a similar manner, only he has a piece of paper with the picture of the first person and asks the same…erm…victim: “have you seen this man?”
I think if one were to get a very very large group of these people to act out these very things throughout an entire city, it would be much more effective in freaking everyone out, otherwise, a solitary occurance could land someone in more trouble than they were counting on…or be summarily dismissed. *shrug* Although, I am probably projecting…*I* would be the one dismissed or hauled off somewhere for a psychological check. There are people who have the talent and personality to carry it off with aplomb. I would want to be watching when they did it.
