I need pictres! Pictures of golems, constructs, fantastical robots, and the like. I'd also like to discuss people's oppinions of such things (and other modern/sci fi tropes like AIs, death rays, mad scientists, aliens etc) in fantasy settings. Do you love it? Hate it? Think it's dumb? Feel free to share your opinions

My group plays a 3.5 clone by mongoose that includes retro future tech. Sapient machines are one of the core races. I once made a character based off Big O.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

That's pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't have any on-theme pictures for the thread.
>>50132861
It's usually done really poorly, so I usually don't like it. It's people who can't realise how to explore themes in genre, so they need to take an entire piece from another to do it.
not exactly, but...
>>50132861
I love the concept of technological fantasy settings, but they're done so rarely right that I don't really get much high hopes when I find out a setting is such. Many of the settings I've encountered keep the ideas of magic and science/technology as distinctly separate concepts, but not many play with the idea of magic as being a science that can lead to technology. As >>50133613 posted, one of the very few examples of an exclusively fantastical science leading to technology, the Dwemer of TES are a wonderful example of this concept done right. Pic related, while not technically a machine mechanics-wise, is also an example, the MTG setting has a wide variety of technologically advanced fantasy cultures, with a wide variety of fantasy machines.

Anyone have scifi constructs that aren't just robots?
bump

Sause?
I fucking love Ulduar

This reminds me of that 90s tv series about a cop and his female robot partner that lusted for his meat banana.

Ulduar was probably the best raid they've ever done.

From the way all those cables plug in to it, that laser is less for guiding and more for burning things to death it seems. Punch a motherfucker and burn a hole through him at the same time.

Do we have any artwork of warcraft iron giants?
I can't find any.

You need to be THIS old to get the reference.
Also I need female golems/constructs. Post em.
>>50145543
At least it didn't ask for a tip
>>50132988
This sounds nuts. I need to check it out. What's it called?
>>50134183
I'm not sure people do, by and large. It's hard to do in really memorable way so it's not going to inspire much fanboyism. On the other hand, it's too rooted in folklore and mythology (the golem of Prague, Pinocchio, Pygmalion) for people to justifiably whine about it. Perhaps fittingly, constructs are usually just "devices," there to serve some role within the story but not adding much to it.
That said, I think warforged were one of the best things to come out of 3.X. I especially love the explanations of warforged psychology. It felt really believable, and added to your understanding in a way those descriptions usually didn't
>>50148038
I did not mention the name because it may cause a shit storm. It is called ogl steampunk.
>>50148163
>I did not mention the name because it may cause a shit storm. It is called ogl steampunk.
Thanks! I'll check it out
>>50148038
The reason that most people don't want to dwell on constructs is because their existance alone is enough to seriously threaten the integrity of a setting if one thinks too deeply of it: after all, a Golem is practically a robot, the runes on their bodies circuts which store programming. What's to stop the application of that technology for a myriad of other things?
>>50148382
>What's to stop the application of that technology for a myriad of other things?
I don't know anon, what IS stopping it? Sounds like a great premise for a setting
How's this for a stone golem?
>>50144447
That thing is sexy as hell. I love my constructs with visible pistons and mechanics you can actually see, as opposed to "chunky metal humanoid"
>>50132861
RoB art is incredibly underutilized in these threads honestly.
>fantasy setting with 2 adjacent mountains
>one is a crashed drone-ship, filled with manufactories and robots
>one is a continually growing city of golems and wizards trying to try gain entry to the ship.
>ship detects it is under attack and drastically increases production
>now the wizards are simply trying to contain the robots, since it is too difficult to destroy outright.
>>50144212
So what level of Vicissitude do you need to graft metal bits onto people?
>>50148586
Nothing in that picture is a golem. Stormcast are just steroi- I mean Azyr powered dudes and ladies, reforged in big chunky armor.
