Basically.  I love the idea, tho, so I forgive him.

Hmm.  Anyone on the list seen Tribe 8 (the rpg, not the band)?  There's a
class in there called Keepers that are basically Junkers (using magic to
fill the gaps in junked tech), might be worth a look.

A pal and I were tossing some Junker ideas back and forth and he has the
idea of "life Junkers"-- Frankenstein types, basically.  

Incidentally, how does "Chock Full of Nuts & Bolts" sound for a
cyborg-manufacturing company?

Don't Templars have some too?

That would probably work just fine, but I like keeping HoE as seperate as
I can from DL, just for the feel...

Or just disallow it outright.  :)
