Dieselpunk1921 Early Access

Dieselpunk 1921 is an 80-page all-in-one book presenting an alternate history world, where the streets are dominated by towering machines and complicated heroes fight for their liberation.

As the horror of the Great War came to a close, the oppressive darkness of the 20s began to set in. With towering smokestacks and oil stained pipelines, the march of industry has seen workers seek power in a union, while criminal organizations expand their influence in the crumbling shell of imperial war economies. The once-picturesque city of Paris now sits as a fragile husk of its former self, with the terms of the Christmas Armistice transforming the region into a demilitarized zone. In the German empire, cities from Stuttgart to Völkingen are dominated by enormous factories billowing, choking diesel smoke; the air pungent with petrol fumes. Across Europe, automobiles dominate high-class streets towered over by Art Deco buildings.
