Default Re: Real-Life Weirdness

A Canadian startup founded by a doctor has announced their new product, described aptly by this article headline, "Smartphone App Measures Wounds, Tracks Healing", thus demonstrating that the much-maligned hitpoint ablation model of injury works just fine in the real world, not just as a gaming aid. The article doesn't mention which rule systems the tracker app supports, though -- though it has to include D&D, right?

Might be a nice background detail for your higher-tech game. McCoy's saltshaker probably has a camera in the objective end to help with the medical scanning. No doubt some enterprising player will think of some alternative uses for that camera during an adventure.
