Dave Malki, who does the awesome Victorian-era webcomic Wondermark, has created a hysterical steampunky genre-fiction generator.

Liam Cooke created an automated version of the chart. Here’s the story synopsis I got:

The Psychopunks
In a metaphorical Outer Rim world, a young milquetoast office drone stumbles across a time-traveling soldier which spurs him into conflict with supernatural monsters, with the help of a tomboyish female mechanic and her welding gear, culminating in a daring rescue preceding a giant explosion.

[Thanks, Jonathan Johns!]

    Jonathan Johns here,

    Just want to give credit to David (http://yenzen.blogspot.com/) who sent this to me.

    He is much more creative, and deserves founders credit for this awesome link!
