Re: (old one) Tinker gnome space station

Hi all,

First off, A hope everyone has a marry Christmas and such. And for those
that do not practice Christmas I hope you enjoy the holiday season, events
and Christmas lights. I'm about as religious as a rock but enjoy Christmas.
(I think that God is an imaginary friend for grownups but that's another
discussion)

I just wanted to say that I run a Spelljammer game where the "Human" world
"Shield" was founded by modern day humans stranded there.

To keep it short:  They have mixed what technology works (basically tube
electronics at best and some chemistry) with magic to create a truly nasty
navy that is without peer and enjoys a huge trade surplus as Shield exports
just about anything it can manufacture such as steel, float glass, bikes,
Golems ready to be magiced,  etc.

For those that are interested I have a dense 30 page write up. Please fell
free to use whatever you want as you see fit if you read it.

I have been running my game for years and quite frankly have too many
players, so I guess I'm doing something right :)

As for Mount Nevermind, this is name of the mountain where the gnomes live
in my game and I stole this name from the "Atlas of the Dragon Lance World"
published in 1987.  If that helps anyone?

I can't help with the name of the person who came up with the idea, but I
can say that I can't wait to see what you create. I've had a few things
planned for my game dealing with Tinker Gnomes and stats on a base would be
great. just remember to include hamster pens in the plans when you work it
up. A good place for a stampede or equaly embarassing situation for PCs.

Hey everyone!

I've been doing a little work on something, off and on - something that I
was inspired to start thinking about by something I read here.

It was quite some time ago.... maybe years.... I can't remember the exact
subject nor whether there were any replies to it....

.... it may have been nothing but a joke, but someone here once made a
reference to a gnome space station called "Nevermind V." I've had an inkling
for a comedy-style adventure built around that name, so....

.... to the one who tossed that out long ago.... if you're still on the
List, please identify yourself. If I develop the adventure, I'd very much
like to know who to credit for the original concept, if possible. I thought
the name was a scream, considering where it obviously came from and who it
referred to.

(I've tried searching the List archives, but to no effect; maybe my Search
skills aren't strong enough).

Thanks!

Jim
