Unknown Armies Artifact: Ha'nish's Harrow

DESCRIPTION: A bed of soft wool with leather straps to hold every joint of the body still, over which is suspended a curious apparatus. The apparatus menaces with glass needles, pointed downward at the bed. The whole thing is built in the Bauhaus style, with curved metal rails to suspend the apparatus and lots of cubes growing like geometric tumors from other cubes.

The apparatus includes a slot for punchcards from a Dehomag tabulating machine - a primitive electromechanical computer of the 1920s.

Unknown Armies NPC: Kurta the Androgyne

Everything Kurta knows about transvestism they learned at age 16, in the trenches at Passchendaele. Playing the male role under the bombs and shells of the Englanders, and the female role under their own lecherous unteroffizier - plus his friends when he owed them a favor.

Weimar Berlin has all the blood and sex of the trenches, plus bars and drugs and jazz and fast cars. You can throw a grenade into a crowd of protestors, walk two blocks and sit down for drinks in a bondage club, all without getting your shirt muddy or your shoes wet. The rest of the world calls it the most wicked city on earth. Kurta calls it paradise.
