Hi all. I posted this yesterday in the Homebrew section and got no response. Maybe I'll get some ideas here...
I am busy constructing a Homebrew Pauthfinder world for Campaign use as well as the writing of Fiction.
I am looking for a catchy label similar to Steampunk, Stormpunk, Sword and Sorcery, etc.
It's basically a world where the Alchemists have bypassed the discovery of gunpowder and worked with electromagnetism. They have also discovered radioactive elements. There have even been small nuclear explosions due to the use of vorpal swords that, on extremely rare occasions, have split atoms.
Alchemists and wizards have spells that contain/use/channel radioactivity for various offensive reasons as well.
Radpunk? Atom punk?
Swords and Atoms? Atoms and Sorcery?
I need help with that kind of label.
This is a link to my blog, which has an extremely limited amount of info right now, though, more that here.

Science and Sorcery?
Prongs and Wands?
Beakers and Balors?
Nuke fantasy
Eldritch Explosion
Hmmm. Nuke Fantasy has a ring to it. But so does Science and Sorcery.
Gamma Punk?
Leave out the word punk unless the game is going to have a punk ethic and feel to it.
+1 for Manaburn
Acid and Arms?
Atomic Arcana?
something Atomica?
Whoa! Atomic Arcana! That's awesome.
A guy that visited the blog mentioned Blitz Fantasy, due the reliance on Lightning and Electromagnetism. But, I think Atomic Arcana might be it.
I forgot about the world's vorpal sword angle, which has the weapons being used as last resort weapons because they are so sharp, they can cut the fabric between dimensions. And every time one is used, there is an extremely small chance they will split an atom.
Atomic Arcana or maybe Atoms & Arcana?
Either way, thanks guys!
Whoa! Atomic Arcana! That's awesome.

Finally a campaign in which I can cast GlobalThermoNuclearAtomicHellstorm.
