Re: [HoE] Even More confusion on Junkers

[Olympiad1@aol.com]

Just to add to the confusion that we know as Junkers ---

    Do you feel that the Junkers invent items in a similar manner to the DL
Mad Scientists?  (i.e.  Mad Scientist wants to create a Gatling Shotgun ----
he comes up with a blueprint, makes the necessary rolls and draws, and low and
behold he can create Gatling Shotguns as needed <assuming of course the
Marshall lets him have access to the equipment neccessary to create more than
one --- and he makes the necessary rolls again.  Junker decides he wants to
create an Automatic Hand-held morter thrower --- he comes up with a theory,
picks the powers that create the item, makes the necessary rolls and draws,
and low and behold he can create Hand-held mortor throwers as needed).  

  Or do you see each Junker item as basically unique -- while the theory and
the powers may be the same,  they can't mass produce their items as they never
know what equipment they can scrounge to make the parts.  I could easily see
that Junkers never have more than one of an item (although I'd never make that
a rule -- more of a guideline) On the other hand, if a Junker came up with a
really effective piece of equipment, I can see that they would try to scrabble
the pieces together to make another one, but at least in my game --- each one
of those would look a little different from each other.....

Did any of that make any sense or did I just ramble on with no real point at
all?
