Why Gogas Is Insane

for those LED lamps, they have the switch, but I could also rig it to the same microcontroller that is checking the twitter feed

so if those lights aren't already switched on, it can make them light up for however long

so it checks twitter, if it finds a message, it might wait for 30 seconds, light up the lights

then print it out

then turn them off after

So cool.

Can we have the lights go for a little bit? Just because it's nice to see the colors rotate.

sure, however long we want

we could even do like the first 3 characters of the twitter message is how many seconds we want them to stay on

Prop Profile: Engineering

Here are some of the props for Engineering. All are, I believe, thrift-store finds by Gogas.

First, the coal-bin. We'll fill this with briquettes.

Next,  bellowes. 

A copper basket for kindling.

Finally, for flavor, a hammer and saw, all oldied up.

Haley Can Thrift-Shop, Too

Somewhat. I like the shell lamps. And the cheese tray.

Nemo Decal

Just Glue Some Gears On It And Call It...Electrical?

I was reading back on an old journal post about Sea, and saw I'd mentioned how I wanted it to be authentic Steampunk - that is, to make sure that steam was an integral part of the ship, and have all the props built around steam as a power source.

Then I was told the Nautilus was a nuclear sub. Then Kyle started reading the book again, and realized the ship was actually electrical. Plain ol' boring electrical. Well, not boring for THEM - Arronax marvels that Nemo has found a way to use electricity as a lasting, multi-use power.

So, while there are amazing, never-before-seen items of incredible wonder aboard, they're all run by electricity. That's all well and good, but to spice things up, we decided to write in a plot device that also allowed for the use of power crystals to run some thing on board. This was, we could use some cool LEDs and cultivate a little bit of sci-fi feel to the Nautilus.

I've shown the lamps for Comm Ops before, but Gogas recently outfitted them with LEDs, so here's a little video of them in action.

Hiccup

Please bear with me as I explore the Wonderful World of Co-Authorship Of A Blog. I want the players/STs to be able to either add to my posts, or post on their own - so far, we're still at Gogas just being able to leave comments. I'm pretty much pressing every button to see what happens. But, in the interim - read the comments; Gogas wrote a lot about the more technical aspects of the projects mentioned.
