And yes, the piece of equipment is the masterwork item you got to start with. It can be Thrust's father's pistol, but Erac owns it currently -- maybe he found it in the Dungeon, maybe he acquired it to settle a debt.

Ohhhh, that's good.

I never thought of it before, but I hope my unusual schedule doesn't cause me to lag behind. I am not a morning person. :p

Edit: I took a few liberties with Teun. I haven't found much information on her, and I seem to recall one of the guides saying embellishment was expected, and it fit what my perception of such a deity would be like, so... :p

The Game Mechanics' Arcane Quarter supplement is delayed while they find a new cartographer, but it was going to be my choice for a Vock Row sourcebook. (When it finally comes out, I'll still use it that way.)

In the meantime, they have a gallery of illustrations up from the book and it nicely captures the feel of Vock Row for this game.

(And if any quality freelancer cartographers are reading this, give them a call!)
 

I might as well field this now, short story concerning the heavy mace.

I named this character before I understood the naming conventions for dwarves. I ended up rationalizing that the Techpriest was a nickname acquired while working in Ptolus. And that the dwarven nickname Steamhammer was derived from his mechanical mace.

I thought that maybe it would be fun to use the craft skill to mod the thing instead of replace it as you would normally replace equipment (which I admit I have no I idea how often that happens). At the very least I will just take upgrades and pretend they are the same device.

Edit: Oh right, and another question. Are you going to be shifting alignments as we go? I've made a character that idolizes the order found in the machine world, and I don't want his alignment shifting to chaotic just because I make him eccentric. Or just because I am eccentric rather. :p

For example: [sblock=I'm crazy] I was toying with the idea of accusing Cicero of being the 4 armed rat. I don't know what else to ask him, and it made me laugh. [/sblock]

Not unless you do something more extreme than have a personality quirk. Alignment manifests itself in multiple ways. Now, if all of his behavior is eccentric, we're going to have to talk. ;)
