Basic Gadget Ideas

Eh, personal teleportation devices are highly unlikely, and, as William mentioned, would make mage/psionic abilities very un-unique. So I'd say it's a no-go with those.

A telepathy interception device sounds kinda fun, but comms are sort of a tech telepathy system, so we'll see about that.

Light refractors would be interesting.. I'll see if that's a possibility.

soundless has it right -- unique concepts! Let's get some original ideas for gadgets

here's a dorky one i'd like to have.

some kind of robot that you can place in a container and have it gather all of one item.

let's say yaru is dumb enough to put all his marbles into his schoolbag, and they get mixed up with everything else.

let's say he wants to get them all out, but doesn't want to pick through it by hand.

instead, what he can do is SET ROBOT TO MARBLE, put it inside his schoolbag, and START ROBOT. it then whirrs around in there a bit, and once he's done he'll have them all in him. yaru can then place the robot in another container, do something like PULL ROBOT, making him pull some lever that dumps them all in that container.

think a targetted DUMP command (ps: we still need that command).

Actually, I like that idea

i'm not sure if nautical helps with rowing but...

it would be cool if there was a gadget someone can attach to a rowboat that makes it a speedboat type thing.

someone who takes way too damn long to row to jareya.

since it's doable with droids, perhaps the ability to hack into cybergear to alter how welli t works.

Psionic ability isn't really magic. But I'm splitting hairs here. Of course, if you're personally opposed to magic, I'd suspect that "occult research" isn't a whole lot better.

But psionic ability is all about using your own latent abilities, or something like that. You're not really drawing on any mystical power other than your own mind.... or something like that. At least, that's how I figure it.

Magic is a fantasy staple. We're not talking about Wicca. And there is no 'Devil' here. There is, however, Yeii. You're playing in an adult sci-fi/fantasy game with genital peircings. Yes, I want tech round about equivalents to what others have because there are those things in other sci-fi settlings AND because a tech isn't a magic user and gets mad minuses to magic. However, I've always found that bringing in your religious views into a roleplay setting where they don't exist can be....troublesome. You seem like a cool guy, Alex, but I think you're looking at this from an anti-new age perspective when this has nothing to so with the magic-is-a-form-of-prayer-only mentality that Wiccans. Magic is fantasy! Magic is Harry Potter and Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings. And there are GOOD gods in the HR pantheons that give out that magic.

Kit, you make a good point. And while my ideals on magic are far less religious, and more practical, that's where the similarities between IRL and IC end. *Ponder* I chose Tech, because I believed that one day, Tech's WOULD be able to do SOME of the stuff that the Magic type world had. Now all of a sudden, I'm being told that there will be a strong reliance on Magical means. On a purely RP note, unless you want more cookie cutter shaped people, reliance on pure magic would kill the tech side. I mean, if we wanted things to be more magical, NERF the swords, until they put a flaming aura on them. And limiting who can warp at all is just like saying "These people are special, and have achieved greater then all others." At least, for me, being able to "Travel" has always been a high level, high power goal item. And here, Even ARTISANS can do it, but NOT techs. And honestly, my biggest gripe was that an ARTISAN was telling us TECH's that we couldn't do what they could. And on our board. It wouldn't bother me so much, except that I don't go ragging them on their boards. And nor am I going to start now. 2 people are not going to make me start disrespecting everyone else.

For starters, not as many people have Telepathy as you think. I've been playing since the day HR opened its doors to players, and only picked it up myself this past winter -- I still get more use out of my comm. I'm not even touching on the sacrificing skill points thing because, boohoo, the point of Haelrahv doesn't lie in the ability to max out every possible avenue you want to be good in.

Secondly, if people are losing this much bowel control over a 5-minute boat trip in land-centralized Beta, then it's only fair to admit that I'm looking forward to the outright panic attacks and massive coronary failure in Live, when we'll be travelling to cities and landmasses stretched across the width of a globe. Who really gives a crap if someone cuts out four and a half minutes out of a trip in Beta? More precisely, if you see no incentive to expand your travelling horizons, what the heck do you care at all? It's certainly easy to sit on one side of a hill and complain about the other side that you've never bothered climbing to.

Lastly, I'd like to think we've all matured beyond the concept of burning eternally in a lake of fire. Do I fear for my mortal soul because I used Armor Aura before hunting Kuchos? I'll take my chances.
