Steam powered objects! With a twist!
« on: November 27, 2007, 09:12:00 am »

But there's a twist! There might be a chance that the boiler needed to make the steam will explode, the machine might jam or explode, pipes might burst and boil unlucky dwarves, steam explosions will launch bits an pieces of what exploded and also some shrapnel, steam will boil creatures unlucky enough to get caught in the steam, and if a pipe bursts in a room with a locked door and there's a creature inside the room will turn into a pressure cooker and if the pressure gets high enough the door might get blown open or launched some distance, and if the structure with the burst pipe is outside, a wall or a window might get destroyed.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

The twist is that Steam won't validate your copy of Half-Life 2!
