Presented by Danaus & Sidonne – Steampunk Lady Scientists

Learn the steampunk art of parasol dueling. It’s Rock, Paper, Scissors with parasols! We’ll follow the Western Territorial Rules where we use small street dueling parasols and things may get a little “Rowdy and Howdy.” No physical contact shall be made in this duel, but a victor shall be declared!


Danaus and Sidonne delight in the advancement of knowledge as steampunk lady scientists. When they’re not busy adventuring in pursuit of scientific inquiry, they enjoy sharing their love of making with others in workshops and panels. They are also the creators of the Western Territorial Variant of Parasol Dueling. While they may get a little Rowdy and Howdy at times, they are always at the ready to act as Deputies to assist in settling matters of honor with their message of dueling for all.
