Is LoEG considered "Steampunk"? Maybe even a toned down version of it? Seeing as both LoEG and Steampunk are both pretty nerdy, this seemed like a good place to ask.

I guess you have to be British, or particularly interested in Victorian pulp literature to know them. Check out William Hope Hodgson - there's no better writer of creepy sea stories and the Croben/Revelstroke comic adaption of "House on the Borderland" has an intro by Alan Moore, of all people.

Norton can travel in time but is stuck within the physical confines of London. BTW, would you like a copy of my book of annotations to the Black Dossier? It's got a long interview with Moore as well as O'Neill's additions to the annotations.
