Useless TW items idea.

Unread post by Blue_Lion »

Some ideas for TW items that are mostly useless.

Muffen button - push it spend ppe get a fresh muffin. For the gaint robot that has every thing.

TW back scratcher. Just 18 PPE to use.

TW glow in the dark underware- for when you need to get dressed in the dark.

TW PSi stalker/dog boy atractor- mages only lets them know where you are.

TW sarcasim detcor-

TW Type-o keyboard- i am using it now :mrgreen:
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.

Master of Type-O and the obvios.

Soon my army oc clones and winged-monkies will rule the world but first, must .......

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

The Japanese have a word for such inventions, 'chindogu', and regard it as an art form to create devices that stop JUST short of being practical...You can find at least one appreciation society and several websites dedicated to t, just by googling 'chindogu'.

TW appliances are a GREAT idea. Not so much for the average adventurer, but considering that most common people have around 3d6 PPE, it's totally plausible to have something like TW microwaves, toasters, drink mixers, and all sorts of crazy stuff that has an activation cost between 1-3 PPE.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go enjoy my TW Coffee Maker. 8)
Norbu the Enchanter: Hello friends! What brings you to my shop today?

Big Joe: We need some things enchanted to take a beating...

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!

Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

I tend to fallow the old school TW idea that only mages and psi can use them. I don't allow making tw items for people that ar not them. So most average people whould not be able to use them.

It's possible to teach someone how to use and charge a TW item when they aren't a magic user, it's just not that common outside of open minded communities like Lazlo and even then, most people don't have enough juice to power anything really spectacular. There's also entity infused TW items that can forcefully take PPE from a person to power themselves, though that might not be the best idea for the TW coffee maker. I mean, it would probably feel like the coffee maker is sucking out ones very soul from pressing the brew button, and then it would launch itself out the roof with a stream of morning brew.

It is realy hard to teach a non mage to use the item by the old rules. Requires starting with them as kids and even then less than half are succesfull so not realy an option most of the time. (think the exact stats on it are in the new west.)

That's why we wire a psychic hamster into the machine. The little bugger senses when I'm going to need a cup o' joe(and will incidentally feed him a tasty food pellet), and he starts running on his little exercise wheel, triggering the TW Coffee Maker.
The downside to this is when the hamster learns to pyschically manipulate me into wanting coffee ALL the time, resulting in me being in a constant caffiene-fueled frenzy, since I can't let a good cuppa go to waste....

No, it's possible to make Techno-Wizard items that anyone can use, it's purely up to the Techno-Wizard whether or not they can only be used by mages and psychics or anyone.

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.

In the new (( Well relativly new)) Rifts script book, one of the opening scenes has TW animated toys for the kids of a small magic community. If Memory serves the girl could get hers to work but the little boy (( not being a mage)) couldn't and he was tweeked.

But that allowes for such things. TW Dolls that walk around and TW action figures that (( I'm guessing)) could fight one another.

They have a TW Washing machine in Dino Swamp. Found it today while looking for something else.

But that allowes for such things. TW Dolls that walk around and TW action figures that (( I'm guessing)) could fight one another.



TW toys are a good thing to train future Mages, teaching kids to harness and focus their P.P.E.



But beware the Happy Entity Fun Ball with ensorcelled/caged Poltergeist...Do NOT use indoors.

Not so much for the average adventurer, but considering that most common people have around 3d6 PPE, it's totally plausible to have something like TW microwaves, toasters, drink mixers, and all sorts of crazy stuff that has an activation cost between 1-3 PPE.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go enjoy my TW Coffee Maker. 8)

You have to be a magic user or psychic to use TW items.


No, it's possible to make Techno-Wizard items that anyone can use, it's purely up to the Techno-Wizard whether or not they can only be used by mages and psychics or anyone.

By rue yes but that contradicts the stated intent of most TW items.
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.

Soon my army oc clones and winged-monkies will rule the world but first, must .......

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.
