Why do I bother anymore?

We're playing in a fantasy setting. We're all (no exceptions*) playing magi who create and enchant golems or else the golems themselves. The most advanced things in the entire game scientifically are clockwork creatures and steam engines

Perhaps they're magic nanobots.

A wizard did it. With nanobots.

Sorry I couldn't resist *chuckles*, but I know only too painfully well what you mean.

How about someone with a genetic tattoo that can destroy the whole world?*

*Yeah, that really happened to me, and no I never quite recovered from it.

Oooh. . . SAND GOLEMS! Individual grains of sand that are each golems. Or even dust mote golems.

It has possibilities. . .

Ah, wasn't just me whose brain went there, then.

Well, if not nanite size, then small ant/beetle-shaped golems that arrange themselves into rods, cogs and associated clockwork...

[lodo_bear]

Now there's a thought. Tiny magical mechanical bugs seem within the realm of possibility. OP, check us on this: does your world allow for very small and intricate clockwork, such as would be required to make an ant-golem?

[yamikuronue]

It's been established in some RP lines that making miniaturized golems is highly dangerous because the amount of power a normal-sized power source puts out overloads them and makes them likely to explode, and creating new power sources has also lead to explosions. Though if someone wanted to make nano-golems, I suspect they'd just ignore the earlier threads.

Give people an inch...
