Springheel 4683 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Yeah, that's exactly the kind of steambot that would fit in our setting.

STiFU 774 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Maybe you can also get some inspiration of the movie "Wild Wild West" with Will Smith. The movie itself is really bad, but it features a lot of steampunk elements. Anyway, I guess you all know that movie already... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crispy 8 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Yeah, that's exactly the kind of steambot that would fit in our setting. You have to admit it would be hilarious.

Springheel 4683 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Imagine an old weird professor riding a small spiderlike robot. From the TDM wiki about the Inventor's Guild: A mechanical carriage that walks on spider-like legs was unveiled at one trade fair. Although onlookers were fascinated by the device, it was slower than a horse and too large for most city streets, so no order for one was ever placed....

Crispy 8 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Er... no, it's not. Ordinary Daleks are not powered by steam. They're biological creatures that live inside (and depend upon) a metal casing. You need to watch more Doctor Who. Quote My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe.

Vadrosaul 1 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Apparently I do, but I'm not inclined to. Visually they've always looked steampunkish to me, and I've not cared to delve into the mythos of Doctor Who to learn the fine details. Quote Loose BOWELS are the first sign of THE CHOLERA MORBUS!

Crispy 8 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Fair enough. It is something that's demonstrated in the first season of the new Doctor Who, so it's not exactly obscure knowledge, but obviously you do need to actually watch the show to see that.
