Construct Mechanus Available Now

Not really . . .

Hi Phil,

I had a question about Construct Mechanus - would I be able to play a sentient flesh golem with the rules?

It's just not that kind of book.

Re: Interesting idea . . .

I like how you're taking completely unrelated things that I've done and starting to build a world setting. Weird stuff.

Now my brain has another idea in it. Damn. Need a new brain soon.

Well, both things are unrelated but could be related. I love the old Dark Space books, the Sheen from Dragon, and other sci-fi but not sci-fi stuff in fantasy settings. Robert E. Howard may not have done Cthulhu like Lovecraft did, but his material, collected in various Baen books like Trails in Darkness and Beyond the Borders, is perfect for that strange fantasy some have always wanted to do.

One thing perhaps that could be added to a Possessors book is their use in say a Modern setting or a Science Fiction setting. Why limit them to fantasy because their 'originator' race started there? You could do all sorts of strange and terrible things with these suckers.
