               Borden Haelven: Very cool.  After all, what is steampunk if there's nothing steam powered?

               Borden, that engine really is Dynamite! I'm not normally much on steampunk, but you guys are getting me interested. I'll be very glad to see whatever anyone can offer; as TAD pointed out, many are too busy to spend much time on this, so all results are that much more appreciated.'B)'

               Just a quick idea on how one might mix magic with steampunk:

A small fire elemental trapped under a source of water by a wizard.  Frustrated elemental just gets hotter, boiling said water to drive a steam engine.  Wizard gets "free" mechanical energy without using a huge windmill or waterwheel.

'Posted I can't believe I've just read this! In this enlightened age such a barbaric act could never be justified, energy crisis not withstanding, the idea of incarcerating another creature (albeit a vicious pyromaniac) in such a cruel manner purely for convenience is appalling.

Ok, fine.  Maybe a small permanent portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire.  More difficult to do initially, and runs the risk of other things coming through to the Prime Material, but less mean to things spellcasters use for cannon fodder all the time.

Wait! Where is the Fire Elemental trapped in a continuous cage of water, changing it to steam to drive the pistons? ':wizard:'

FP!

Don't you start... 'Posted 
It is actually going to use Halflings that have been marinated in 15 Yr old Single Malt for a month. They will be so drunk they won't suffer and due to the alcohol they have absorbed they'll burn for ages with a very clean flame...

               Hey all, I didn't even realize it was the start of the month.  Can the following be emailed to me (at builder@neverwinternights.info) in the next couple of days?  Thanks.

               Sorry, it's the night of the fourth and even the simple thing I was going to submit I have managed to screw up somehow.  It was a chair with...a decal of a cog on it.  I had indicated in another thread I was going to make a portrait for it and send it off, and then I couldn't find it.  And then the next day I still couldn't find it or the texture.  And so on.  I didn't bother saving the max file and must've trashed the files by mistake.

I'm like one of those people who live out of a trash-filled car except the trash-filled car is my override directory.  ':whistle:'

               <writing more notes...>

I, er, Cestus is definitely going to have to add an add-on to this theme. I had, er, he had definite plans.

And I am definitely going to trap an elemental in a boiler for the project <can't be worse than what you did to me>
Don't start, Bother. You agreed of your own free will to be bound so long as I lived. <you weren't a type two immortal then, wizard>
Not my fault you didn't read the fine print. <it was a verbal contract>
Ok, not my fault storm elementals don't hear so good. Probably all that thunder and lightning. <want a taste now, old man? *raven scowl*>
Er, no. Let's make fun of Cestus instead. <hmmm, there's a trick there somewhere. but... sounds like a plan ;->

<...on a scroll already covered with ink>

               Since I now have access to the CCC email account (NWNCCCMakers@gmail.com), how about those stragglers get their Steampunk pieces sent in?
