               We totally need a Lab coat, if nothing else

I have some ideas brewing. Horrible ideas. Creatures that should not exist and have been brought into existence by the careless actions of someone who should know better

Brain in a jar too. Preferably a few sizes to allow for dragon brain in a jar.

Brain in a jar too. Preferably a few sizes to allow for dragon brain in a jar.

I think something like that is in the CODI placeables hak.

• Mechanical arm/leg parts (viktor from LoL)

• Out of time tech (jetpack, rocket tip, berylium sphere [from The Shadow movie], television, weather balloons, things specific to other bioware games)


• Notes, notes, and more notes (everywhere)


• A million burnt books


• Insane scribblings to place on wall textures


• More scorch marks


• High quality alchemy kit


• Ceiling-high shelves of potions, with tags


• More portals


• Glowing slime (with animloop), or maybe a vat of slime with a torso that occasionally comes out of it


• Boiling body soup, or a cauldron with a tentacle


• Magic mouth communicator


• Table-top communicator (like star wars, with the blue/white hologram display)


• Digital crystal text (with working script to display them as placeables)


• Staff recharging table


• A strapped-down rabid zombie, or otherwise anything from PS:T starting area


• Shipping crates of all kinds, exotic or common, magical or mundane, all opened, all empty and/or damaged


• Rodents in exercise wheels

How about a 2 metre diameter glass eyeball? Being a sphere it should be both easy and eye (couldn't resist) catching. Or racks of different coloured eyeballs like in the picture I linked to in an earlier post?

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_CaveGnome]

               

Mad scientists theme? What about a "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide" set of evil/normal heads and assorted evil/angelic set of potions (love the old flick with Ingrid Bergman and Spencer Tracy).

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Iskadrow]

               

Vivisections, especially of unusual monsters. Abberations (what mad scientist worthy of the title could resist monsters from out of space-time?), trolls (periodically applied flensing spell to a strapped down troll?), etc. pp.

Another gaming example, associated with the WoD but fan-made, would be Genius: The Transgression.

 

And Autochthon of Exalted has qualities of a mad-scientist's invention, a mad scientist and could be argued to be the god of mad scientists in that universe:

"I was once known by many names. Maker, Creator, Madman, Thinker, Smelter, Blacksmith, and Perverse Inventor. But please, even if I no longer am, you may call by the name I once was. I am Autochthon." (I particularly like Gregg Landsman's take on the Perverse Inventor in Mass Effect: Glorious Shotgun Princess)

AD&D Homunculus

 

 

 

Mediæval Homunculus — Paracelsus' conception (pun intended) of a test-tube baby

Talking of mad scientists...

 

 

well it seemed appropriate to me and it is short.

<Edit> And it was made using blender (took 5 months)

AD&D Homunculus

A D&D homunculus model would be great and is long overdue '>

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tarot Redhand]

               

Actually Cestus Dei (aka Rolo) has already done a homunculus floating in a jar for the January 2013 ccc.
