Any Lacepunk here?
« on: July 04, 2011, 03:34:53 PM »
I was looking through a recent purchase of a number of Dr Who Micro Universe figures, and my eyes lit upon the clockwork fops. I began to imagine a use in such, but certains not enough to spin an entire game.

Anyone doing Lacepunk? (Please, let's not argue about the use of the term; if you know what I mean, substitute your own.)

Have you considered the mechanical dandies?

do you have a picture or a link to them?
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Have you seen the thread Ben Franklins War? I think this goes in your direction.

I've been working on an idea for Star Wars Baroque:

Those are very impressive.

Sorry, all, I rather lost track of this thread. Bad, beast, BAD BAD BAD!

Here's one image of a clockwork fellow:


There seems to be two, one in blue and one in black.

The Ben Franklin's War is AWESOME! How could I have missed that?!?!

Bad, beast, BAD BAD BAD! *ahem*

Baron, it shall take me awhile to get my head around that concept. SW Baroque...

Congratulations! Takes a bit to stun me! ;->=

Edit: Before someone pops up, yes, saw the SW Steampunk. Most impressive!

Thanks, all!

Doug

Lacepunk can even include "Space 1745"

Now,if interplanetary travel is too much for you, you well set such adventures on the newly discovered continent of Mu in the Pacific ocean.

To prevent any cataclysmic 'butterfly effect' of 'advanced' technologies (skyships, specially) spreading out of it, just suppose that a geostationary hole in the ozone layer happens to allow aether winds to reach the ground there and there only: 'lightwood' receives its anti-g capacity from them. Actually, it's the constant bombardment of the soil by aether winds for millions of years which transmuted selenium into cavorium (the salts of which form cavorite): the 'Lighwood bush' accumulates cavorium in its cell walls just like other plants accumulate selenium or silicium ;)
