A Green van that was once used by a bunch of kids and a dog Okay .. so the last one was a joke, but the other two could easily be adapted for a magic team Tragically, this would be the option I would be most likely to use.

transmetahuman Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Re: Mystic Team Vehicle? An obelisk that is larger on the inside than it is the outside. While it has no obvious doors, one of the sides has a symbol depecting the shape of one. Those who touch it, pass through instantly into the interior. Within, there is a symbol on the floor (be it pentagram, spiral, whatever) with a cyrstal in the center. By concentrating on the crystal, the 'guide' (Pilot) may visualize a location. The others sit around the symbol, and feel an odd sensation of being not, which soon passes. To the outside world, this obelisk has just vanished from the base, and appeared out of nowhere in the new location. Perhaps it materilizes slowly, or in a glow. Perhaps it seems to jut up from the ground as if it has bored its way to the surface (yet it leads no mark or debris). Then the heroes step out of the Obelisk to face whatever danger awaits. ...heh. Maybe it used to have an adaptable glamour on it, to blend in to its surroundings - but now it's stuck in the form of a blue British police call booth...

Dr. Anomaly Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: Mystic Team Vehicle? Someting a bit old-fashioned but "modern" (i.e. technological in form, rather than outright magical) would appeal to my sensibilities, so I'd reccomend you go with something like that: already mentioned have been a dirigible or something similar. You could also go with something along the lines of the car from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (I love that car!) or perhaps something more Victorian/Jules Verne-ish: a really large, enclosed ornithopter or a really Baroque submarine a la the Nautilus -- though make it travel through the ground as if the ground were water! Dive deep enough and you end up in the Underworld! I also like the suggestion of a flying galleon, but then again I was always a big fan of D&D's Spelljammer setting.

transmetahuman Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: Mystic Team Vehicle? Okay, color me zinged Didn't mean to; I thought it was an intentional homage - that I only picked up on because I was already thinking along those lines. Teleporting, dimensionally trancendental "bases combined with a vehicle" is a neat idea. Still, I personally would go for a modern vehicle fully loaded with mystic options, like autopilot animation, unusual movement forms and/or speeds, shapeshifting/disguise (anyone remember the Chan Clan's car/truck/van/boat?), extradimensionally roomy interior, defenses against detection and tracking, and anything else you'd want in *your* car if you were a mage. Hmm. Like the ability to move sideways when parallel parking... little retractable legs maybe? Or the ability to "fold" down to wallet size. George Jetson eat your heart out. I don't think most mages want to draw attention to themselves with dirigibles and such - but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Serpent Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: Mystic Team Vehicle? Magic bedknob. Team piles onto the bed, one person tells the bed where to take them, turns the knob a quarter turn to the right, taps it three times and presto, bed pops them to their destination. (From Bedknobs and Broomsticks) Could also use a similar thing as the stick-shift for an otherwise normal car, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked giving weird descriptions of the interdimensional route it followed to my players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cause capes are for people who want attention. Otherwise, they either wouldn't wear them or would wear cloaks with the hoods up. But capes, those are attention grabbers. That and airplane engines like them. [/silly] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
