Gynodia Obscuria v. 2

Post sightings of gynoids showing up in unlikely places here.

The least likely place of all to find fembots--Unknown Armies, a surreal occult/horror RPG. The Mechanomancers gain magick charges by working on their "babies," which are convuluted machines made from retro materials--nothing common post-1800. By using Significant charges, they can create "human sized machines" that can be in the shape of, say, beautiful women. (They actually give a rule for making a "beautiful" clockwork.) However, to actually make a gynoid or similar device-a-majig, they have to either A) integrate a historically significant piece of machinery into the device or B) burn part of their memory. It's a high price being a spellcaster.

Hey, what do you know, 100 posts.

It's quite interesting, the fact that we actually have certain gynoids known to us that are essentially "Magick Inside". Maybe it's something we should expect in ASFR: we already have clockwork dolls.

And then again, any science taken to its extreme end becomes a form of magic, they say

Oddly enough, Unknown Armies 'bots are called Clockworks due to their grossly outdated materials. See above, though--it's called "magick" (mage-ick) because 1. it works and 2. the price is usually crippling. You could, for instance, "create life" with a Major charge, but that would entail forgetting--say--the woman you love ever existed, and instead make a Stepfordy soulless freak machine. Which, oddly enough, some of our esteemed colleagues would enjoy.

On a non-current-obsession note:

...Okay, more Unknown Armies-erie. Here's a dollmage from the official fansite.

I swear I wasn't trying to sound condesending...

Here's a new one. The typically mind-numbing kid's anime D.I.C.E. has a gynoid in this episode, a cute purple-haired lass-o-tron named Leanne. Humanoid in shape, with a humanlike face and garishly-colored hair. Her hands are fairly human as well. The rest of her is gussied up in a silver bodysuit-shell. Her name is Leanne, or Leahanne, or however you'd spell that.

I'll have to Google this one up...
