RE: Nerd By Northwest #290 – “The New Hire”

I did love the Tinker Gnomes from Dragonlance... Actually, my first exposure to Tinker Gnomes was from the D&D Dragonlance Campaign Sourcebook (1st edition I think). I had never read any of the novels before that, but just fell in love with the write-up of the Gnomes. They had to make all new engineering rules just for them.

Sort:  

Oh yes, Dragonlance Tinker Gnomes were definitely some of the inspiration behind creating Pickles. She may not go into the insane level of complexity that Tinker Gnomes usually do, but she DOES share their inability to separate the dangerous/bad ideas from the productive/good ones...
