Starting with Gunter Koen's surprise demonstration of the Düsenpack at the Berlin Air Show on June 9, 1941, Goldberg Science is a common type of specialized Talent power that allows the Talent to create devices far beyond the technology of the time. While these devices are filled with whirring gears and seemingly advanced mechanics, the appearances are just window dressing for the true source of the device's power: the Talent's own mind.

  • Starting with Gunter Koen's surprise demonstration of the Düsenpack at the Berlin Air Show on June 9, 1941, Goldberg Science is a common type of specialized Talent power that allows the Talent to create devices far beyond the technology of the time. While these devices are filled with whirring gears and seemingly advanced mechanics, the appearances are just window dressing for the true source of the device's power: the Talent's own mind. The name Goldberg Science comes from the famous illustrator "Rube Goldberg", who drew cartoons in the 1920's depicting the crazy inventions of Professor Lucifer Gorgonzola Butts. Goldberg Science devices only work within line of sight or touch of the creator. After the Talent dies, these devices become useless. The Goldberg Science devices cannot be replicated, even if plans and blueprints are drawn up for the device. Finally, Goldberg Science foci are just as vulnerable to Talent Will contests as any other Talent power.
