Project Idea - Travaling Alchments / Tinkers Pack
I probably will never build this...
The travailing adventure's portable alchemy pack and dispensary.
A steam punk backpack with a steam boiler and distillation equipment.
I am thinking it is largely a DnGn (Does nothing, Goes nowhere)
Just prop stuff.
A LED lit silk and fan "flame"
Humidifier for "Steam"
Some moving parts - those spinning balls stabalizers on steam engines.
A air bubbler in tubes.
A decanter spigot for the final product(s).
On the plus side it could double as a portable bar / drink station. ;)
Sort of a steam-o version of my Dr. Feelgood costume. (Portable mad science bar in a over sized medical bag - inspired by "Sleepy Hollow")
Heh it is weird the way these ideas just flood in fully formed...
A ren faire version would be cruder. More wood and cloth, hand blown glass vessels, more crude iron work, etc.
I picture 2 characters attached to it. The older "Alchemist", A portly older man with a beard and glasses. Dressed in the fine garb of a academic / minor noble, livery chain and fancy hat. (the court's official "alchemist and scholar")
And a simple peasant with the pack. Basically a pack mule. A tall spindly youth.
(you can tap into the Laural and Hardy imagery, or the Monty Python Holy Grail, etc.)
No "Wizard" robes or trappings.
"Wizard?!? NO SIR! I am a learned man of Science! Utilizing the principles of the Natural World through the science of Alchemy! There are no supernatural or mystical designs.
What I do is no more supernatural that a water wheel, no more mystical than the making of... of a mutton pie!!!"
