Have you, by any chance, read Joss Whedon's run on Runaways? The girl on the right bears a striking resemblance to Karolina Dean.Grey Carter said:

I'd buy this game as long as it wasnt overly preachy like that would be my only reservation about it otherwise why is this not real
I think I'll toss together a card game concept for this, just for fun. The steampunk and the zombie parts are relatively easy to do, but I can't even imagine how to work the feminism in as a gameplay (and not story) angle. How would the game involve feminism if the cast of characters are all female, as the concept art implies?
Actually, I believe their primary tool was the law. The core of feminism is simply allowing women to do what they want. That can range from being the CEO of a company to being a submissive house wife if they want. A type of clothing is only oppressive if it's forced.MatsVS said:
Ha! Best poster-size in a long time. This is the best kind of satire. Ruthlessly barbed but a curiously sweet concept at the same time. I feel so dirty...
Why are all the displayed protagonists women while all the zombies are men? Feminists my ass, the cover imagery can be argued as anti-male. Not to mention that there are thousands of zombies games, including Steampunk ones, that already exist. Also, somebody had to have draw that picture for the Kick-starter page which they know at least one guy with some talent. That said, its still a funny comic.
This comment section reminds me of how sad Kickstarter can be. You never know when a project, even one as awesome as this, might be headed by morons.
It's a good thing I don't have disposable income on me, or I probably would've donated to it already.

What I find hilarious here is the number of people who appear to have taken this seriously.

I'd give Boneshaker about a C, to be honest. I wasn't that smitten with it. When you say she's one of the better steampunk writers, I believe you- what little i've seen looks like absolute dreck. Cherie Priest at least can turn out a cohesive story that isn't just BANGBANG WE GOT AIRSHIPS AND CLOCKWORK GUNS HERE'S ABRAHAM LINCOLNS SEVERED HEAD IN A ROBOT WOO. If I had a problem with her characters it's I feel that there wasn't really a character arc to be had for them - the rebellious youth is SLIGHTLY less rebellious perhaps but we're never really shown any growth on his part, and the protagonists ultimate act of self-actualization and establishment of her own worth as a human beingPedroSteckecilo said:
Occurs before the story even begins and isn't revealed until a recap/flashback at the very end when she shoots her husband. It was sort of a let down that the inventor had actually been dead all along, and the villain was just 'some guy' we'd never met before in this book. The entire story exists as a snapshot inside a larger continuity that goes unexplained and unintroduced because it's central narrative twist depends on that.
Still, I didn't hate it. Also I want a Sonic Cannon.
