Quote:I assume that the fire ball thrower is a wwII style flame thrower, but there's no ref for that AFAIK.

Quote:Much of the rest of those are Star Trek inspired. But some of the machines are mysteries (water machine for ex.)

Quote:I think you missed the fighting machine on your list. I think this one owes somenting to a "Dune" influence. I don't recal ever seeing DA mention Dune though.

Quote: There also seems to be a Dune influence in the DA series in terms of the political roles (academic spy masters, royal swordmasters, Afridhi etc.) but that could come from Ritchie I suppose. I never noticed anything else, tech wise, that seemed like a Dune inspired device.

Aldarron Wrote:Its in a random table in the loch gloomen section of the FFC:
"••• Crystall Ball 9, Teleportation Machine 4, Flying Machine 3, Fighting Machine 10, Water Machine 11, "Special Devices 12 + 2. Ancient Books
and Manuscrips 8 + 5, Stores of Normal Weapons 1, Clothing 6, etc."

Havard Wrote:A fighting machine; combat armor perhaps? Or something more like a tank? I'm getting this even more so with the war machine...

Havard Wrote:Question: the items from your quite are taken from the Gloomey section, whereas the list I was using appears under Bleakwood. Would you read this to be understood as what kind of items appear in each region?

Aldarron Wrote:Tank maybe, but with a computer at the control. Another idea I was thinking was maybe something more like a combat robot with lots of weaponry, perhaps all of the hand to hand variety or a mix with lasers, flame thowers and rocket grenades. Maybe the war machine is a bigger, smarter version.

Quote:Yes and no. Since these lists were prepared at different times I think they can be taken as what Dave imagined when designing the location of some of what you could find in the area. But I don't think Dave would have meant them to be exclusionary. I mean that I don't think he would have objected to someone putting a fighting machine somewhere in Bleakwood.

Havard Wrote:That makes sense. So in theory we could compile a list of all of these items along with those from the sword matrix to make one big list of magic items/tech as a kind of treasure table to be used anywhere in the Blackmoor setting?

Aldarron Wrote:Absolutely. Great idea.
