Legged Tractor Dream

ENGLISH Last night I dreamed I was at the beach with my dog (small dog). I saw a big wave coming, it was a tsunami. One wave flooded the ground. I ran to the train to go home, but the next wave destroyed the train. I dodged the train and got into a tractor, but the tractor was one with two legs. So I could run away from the tidal wave, my dog was in the machine with me. In my drawings, the driver's legs are inside the robot legs. In my dream the machine worked with pedals, as if it were a bicycle. When my right foot went down, the machine took a step with its right leg, when I pushed with my left foot, it took a step with the left leg. NEDERLANDS Vannacht gedroomd dat ik aan het strand was met mijn hond (kleine hond). Ik zag een grote golf afkomen, het was een tsunami. Eén golf overspoelde de grond. Ik rende naar de trein om naar huis te gaan, maar de volgende golf vernietigde de trein. Ik ontweek te trein en kroop in een tractor, de tractor echter één met twee benen. Zo kon ik weg rennen van de vloedgolf, mijn hond zat bij mij in de machine. In mijn tekeningen zitten de benen van de bestuurder in de robot benen. In mijn droom werkte de machine met pedalen, alsof het een fiets van. Als m'n rechtervoet naar beneden ging, zette de machine een stap met zijn rechterpoot, als ik met mn linkervoet duwde, deed het een stap met de linkerpoot.

I still make these custom skull rings. They're a decent weight, customizable detail. The steampunk and dieselpunk designs use sterling silver with brass & copper details, for about R3200. Premium versions can be made using sterling silver with red & yellow gold detail. If your budget permits, I can make the whole thing out of gold. It is also possible to add stones and engraving to the design at an additional cost. Courier services are available within South Africa. - Garth Rogers Custom Jewellery - For inquiries or to commission a piece: Garth@garthrogers.com 0727956626 To see more of my work: www.garthrogers.com . . . . #custom #silver #garthrogers #jewellery #rings #gemstones #gold #bespoke #skulls #steampunk #dieslpunk (at Blairgowrie, Gauteng) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRYpmW7H6if/?utm_medium=tumblr

(MY brain is saying shift Awerhia into a bit of early dieslpunk involving a lot of magitek early on. I cannot stop it help.)

Alternative Tech Routes

Hey, does anyone know of any like. alternative tech routes or something? Like, different ways technology could have gone? Like, other that steampunk/dieslpunk/atompunk, or whatever. Cause it seems kinda boring to just have every world have more or less the same technology, unless they’ve got magic.

What TTRPG(s?) do you think might be good for doing Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra? I'd especially like one that makes stating out benders with the unusual powers (earth benders who can do metal or lavabending, fire benders who can do blue flame or lightningbending, etc.) possible and mechanically distinct from the basic forms. Any level of crunchy is fine as long as it's not too hard to match the tone of the shows. Thanks!

I’m assuming by “mechanically distinct” you mean you don’t want style differences to boil down to “your +1 bonus is a different colour”, which rules out most of the rules-light options - so really, it’s a good thing you’re okay with any level of crunchy!

That said, it really depends on what you’re looking for gameplay-wise. If you’re keen on big set-piece battles, Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition honestly isn’t a bad way to go - it’s basically “D&D does martial arts action movies” anyway, and with a bit of judicious reskinning of class powers you can end up with an enormous variety of elemental martial arts that work very differently in play. Plus, the game balance is tight enough that you don’t have to worry about non-magic-using PCs being made irrelevant in battle by their fireball-chucking peers, which is a. important for your Sokka/Ty Lee/Asami-type PCs, and b. something that very few other games will give you if you’re playing by the book.

If you’re after tactical set-pieces, but you want something that handles them a little more abstractly than D&D4E, you could also take a look at Legends of the Wulin. I’ll level with you: it wouldn’t be my first choice: the core book’s organisation is nearly impenetrable, and characters who don’t use supernatural martial arts are basically irrelevant save as cannon fodder. However, if you can work around both of those shortcomings, its handling of martial arts - both during character creation and in play - is a frankly fascinating piece of game design that very readily lends itself to Avatar’s brand of high fantasy weirdness.

(The other major caveat is that LotW’s current publishers are a pack of crooks who’ve straight-up defrauded several game designers of my acquaintance, so whether you want to put money in their pocket… well, it’s up to you.)

On the other hand, if you’re not keen on lengthy tactical play, that’s a taller order, since there’s far less design space for keeping different styles of magical  punching mechanically distinct. It’s not impossible, though. Feng Shui 2 could be a good starting point, though you’d need to homebrew most of your own archetypes. Anima Prime is another way to go, if you don’t mind having to write up your own skill system (the game’s default one is rather too dieslpunk-centric for Avatar) - plus it’s free, which is always fun.

more dieslpunk designs! this one is a concept for a modified churhcill tank chassis, designed for exploratory use and trailblazing in difficult terrain. I love the concept of the brushbuster blades, but I'm probably going to change the chassis to be less "Carbon copy" and more "inspired by" the churchill tank.

new song, hell yeah

In London, engineering student Matilda Pickering always wears gloves to hide the tattoo she has had since she can remember. She jumps to obey her father’s summons to China, eager to escape her controlling fiance. Shanghaied by pirates on the way, Matilda is swept off her feet by their captain, only to learn that she is a pawn in a deadly game that will change the course of history—again.

I want to read this. Like YESTERDAY. Also, love the title. Fave line: "Shanghaied by pirates on the way..."

Sounds pretty snazzy to me!
