Welcome, dear Guest!
I must confess that I’m really ashamed about how I failed my promise to finish The Day Urda Sunk quickly, but at the same time I’m quite proud of the reason for which I’ve had such a delay: I’ve become the new admin of Steam Pulp Fantasy, the official Wolsung website! From now on I’ll try to give justice to both of my duties, but I can’t promise that I’ll do it perfectly so right now I’m not able to plan a regular schedule for Steamagination. I’ll surely give it in the next post!
However, what I can do is giving you a summary of Steamagination FB’s Technology Week – a bunch of brand new, technomagical gadgets!
Aircraft carrier top-hat (15 XP)
An elegant but ridiculously heavy cylinder with miniature wyverns inside. Useful in many situations, but better not release them during a party.
Or: protocol golem with hidden combat alghoritms, unfading rose inhabited by a master swordsman’s spirit (helps during combat and discussion, not chases)
Traits: persuasion +3, power Helper x2 (helps during both combat and chases)
Dr Zeitgast’s Temporal Watch-Chain (10 XP)
An armoured chain watch with a chain so long that it can be used as a swung weapon. Especially that it contains a singularity generator that can create a small time warp and thus allow the watch to be used in no time – literally.
Or: self-doubling whip, Mrs Lovecut’s Shardsfield Generator, steam-powered snake in a glove
Traits: swipe, for a token: an extra attack with 2d10 dice pool.
Melousine Pills (10 XP)
Picture by Ewa Lubiarz
Having a singing voice is nearly obligatory in some circles, so ladies without this talent have to carry somebody else’s in their handbag. It’s not always Melusine’s brilliant soprano, but how boring would it be if every Lady sang like her?
Or: Sudden Tenorizator for Extraordinary Gentlemen
Traits: for a token: expression (singing) +5, special action: move somebody to tears with your voice.
Professor Gesundheim’s Energy-Efficient Relocator (10 XP)
A fast and elegant bicycle with a generator that converts movement into mana, allowing its owner not only to get anywhere on time but also to charge his brilliant inventions – or doomsday devices.
Or: Scientists’ Stroller Shoes by doctor Chodozdrovsky
Traits: athletics +3. Once per session renews a technomancer spell or power.
Driver’s license (15 XP)
Not every country on Urda requires drivers to be licensed, but those that do usually have really hard exams that could be passed only by Really Extraordinary Ladies and Gentlemen.
Or: vyvern pilot’s badge, sailing license, The Codex of Careful Steamotocyclist
Traits: drive (choose a vehicle) +3, on a raise: power strike, two raises: mobilization.
Forged driver’s license (15 XP)
Probably you don’t know how to drive anything, but long years of pretending that you do have given you some skills – as well as enmity of many policemen.
Or: rollerblades in high heels, an old-but-trusted steamobile, tank driver’s license (used to drive steamobiles)
Traits: for a token: drive +5, on a raise: daze, two raises: advantage.
