![]() ![]() He wants to design a pair of shock gloves to use when his lightning cannon fails him. Extra cards make getting the hand easier but also make it more likely for manitous to strike.Ģ) For each point invested in Design, the player lowers the TN of the Construction roll by 1.ģ) The player may divide the construction time by the number of points invested in Construction.Įxample: The Lightning Kid, the famous 'Gunslinger of Reason', wants to design a new device. These points can be used in three ways.ġ) For each point invested in Research, the player can draw an extra card during he blueprint phase to help achieve the hand needed. Quirks do the same to devices, making research, design, and construction easier while giving the device a little flair.Ī device can have up to 10 points of Quirks. Much as Hindrances act to give characters extra points as well as color to the character by showing some of his flaws. To fix this problem, a Scientist may want to incorporate Design Quirks into the blueprint of the device. While hucksters learn more hexes while becoming more powerful at old ones and gunslingers rise from the grave with powers from Hell itself, a Scientist may find herself stuck with the same old flame-thrower. Players playing these geniuses may be happy with the gadgets in the main rules and Smith and Robards but they will eventually want to design their own devices, foiled by being unable to draw the necessary cards. ![]() However, new scientists may have trouble creating blueprints that can push those boundaries of science to entertaining (and perhaps deadly) levels. These creations bend the laws of science but generally don't break them. Or, for that matter, how far we have to go."Ī Mad Scientist's chief weaponry against the horrors of the Weird West is the device inspired by demons and powered by ghost rock. Spencer's Tick Repellent, or even the Lightning Kid's lightning thrower and not be awed at how far we have come in such a short span of time. I can not look on Dr.Hellstromme's automated men, Dr. We are artists of reason, expressing our love through the creative and wonderful devices powered by ghost rock and genius. Julius Pendelton's Seminar of The New Science, Boston, Massachusetts, March 1877: "To many purveyors of our craft, Science is not merely the study and application of the formulae and reasoning we hold dear. ![]() Special thanks to Paul Lalumondier and Everett Proctor Design Quirks originally written by Robert Weiland ![]()
