Publisher: Phil NichollsA collection of seven, system-neutral gadgets for planar spies and secret agents.
The Warlock's Journal Contest is a product of the Gamer Lifestyle community. Each month, this roving contest jumps from one member's blog to another. In October 2015 the wandering Warlock's Journal contest returned to my Tales of a GM blog for a fifth visit.
The contests on Tales of a GM focus on the organisation Storm & Shield. This is a group which spans the dimensions, with a hand in every world. Elite, well-funded and highly organised, agents of Storm & Shield can be found almost anywhere, in any environment.
The Contest: Galactic Gadgets
Agents of Storm & Shield Prime are elite operatives, aided by some truly amazing technology. Essential kit includes a weapon of some description, if not several. However, there is more to the being a cosmic special agent than just a powerful blaster. Surveillance devices, micro-drones and disguise equipment can all form part of an agent's essential equipment. Out in the field, there are always obstacles where firepower is not the best solution.
Contestants were invited to describe a galactic gadget, as devised by the engineering geniuses who work for Storm & Shield. Storm & Shield: Galactic Gadgets collects together the seven gadgets submitted to the contest. The winner was determined by an online poll.
