Hello Dieselpunk Community! I am making a Dieselpunk TTRPG and I am looking for people to help me test different mechanics and game systems.

If you have any experience with DnD or anything of the sort and like to help out please DM.

I am planning to make this game system modular so that you can use the rules in whatever Dieselpunk themed setting you would like. Making a separate document for Age of Conquest flavorable rules.

Hey all! I made a little video essay on one of my favorite dieslepunk movies, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!

Because they’re useless in combat, but the civilians like ‘em.

I'm building off my last post and also a statement I heard on a youtube video (Dieselpunks are defined by what they consume, not what they create) that as much as I dislike, I can't find myslef disagree. Even browsing r/ImaginaryDieselpunk has been mostly stuff shared by people who saw it, but didn't create it.

And since I've always said that if someone's going to complain, they should be willing to try and fix the problem. So, putting my actions where my words are, I'm looking at trying to start a community of dieselpunk creators and thinkers. I'm thinking an interdisciplinary and cross-media community, since visual art, DIY handmade art, and written works were all a major part of the dieselpunk era and should continue to play an era in that idea.

I've tossed some ideas around, and I'm leaning toward a Discord server, rather than a forum, for ease of use and customability. I tossed a bunch of names around and am leaning toward Dieselpunk Creators of the World (Shoutout to the IWW) to be encompassing of a truly global community across a wide variety of media and to deliberately push back against the prevalence of authoritarian imagery and aesthetics that has sometimes taken over dieselpunk.

Nothing's set in stone, of course, and this is primarily just a rough concept, so if anyone would like to be involved, I'd be glad to have other artists, makers, and thinkers with a passion for both -punk and the styles of the interwar years.

EDIT: The server is live and here's the link.
Dieselpunk Creators of the World

I remember when dieselpunk.org was a thing, and it seemed to be one of the main communities for dieselpunk on the internet. It’s been gone a long time now, so I’m wondering if there’s a replacement. I found the online magazine Never Was, but that’s about it. Even Discord servers seem to be pretty non existent.

It has everything from story to aesthetic

Im from Argentina and Im into dieselpunk since 2012..I notice most references of diesel era are based on USA culture such as swing and jazz music (also blues) or pulp media so I'd like to expand these references based on other countries speacially non-english speakers which are the most 'ignored' into this kind of world

Since I'm from Argentina I could suggest artists such as Alejandro Burdisio and about the music of course tango and milonga would be the ideal (however can't find some electronic artist such as Caravan Palace for tango music -electrotango is a thing anyways-)

As for the rest of latin america Im not sure but something related to latin jazz may be

About Russia I heard some good rock covers of Katyusha for example that would fit nice in the idea

I thought about france too. I haven't much references about it but tango would fit nice such as Argentina (I thought about Edith Piaf but it's a bit posterior)

As for Germany...well, this is kind of difficult for obvious reasons but I inmediately think on those germanized rock covers from Wolfenstein New Order

I would be glad to hear more thank you very much

I am writing a dieselpunk book, what books can I read that are considered diesel?
