Says Mr. Goode “I opened Goode Inventions about two years ago. It all started when I got the idea to do a Steampunk version of the common Facelight. In this case it's a kind of coal-fired furnace that points at your face. That's the sort of thing I do, twisting modern ideas into Victorian items for (hopefully) humorous effect. Mainly, I'm just trying to entertain people, though I sell some practical items like vehicles, too.”
“I'm happy to be across from the Town Hall because I really depend on foot traffic for business. No one goes searching for a face hugger or Robot Lackey; they have to happen upon something and decide that they just *have* to have it. I've kept my prices low in the hopes that people won't hesitate to indulge themselves.” (His prices really are more than reasonable. Even the most parsimonious of us will find something fun we can’t live without!)
As for the re-location from the waterfront, he says “Another reason I moved to this new location was to get sufficient primmage to support my upstairs
bookshop. I've made coffee-table books from images of old collectable cigarette cards (kind of a precursor to baseball cards, but with a wide variety of topics). A readable book isn't practical, but a picture book works very well!”
“Finally, everyone is invited to visit my home region of Caledon Burroughs. I've filled it with sights to astound and entertain, including the Museum of Unnatural History, laboratories in the sky and under the sea, a space station, and a Mars Landing simulation…all of it suitably Victorian, of course, and almost nothing that can hurt you…much.”
Also highly recommended: the Personal Dirigicycle and the Force Field (with sparky, sizzly effects!). I'll also be trailing my Robot Lackey next time I visit a Science Fiction themed sim.
