Re: Another 2000 Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG
62. not me but one of my players...
We did a modern people accidently wind up in a fantasy world story. He played a physicist, going towards mage now that he's in a fantasy world, once he got high enough level to use the Fabricate spell... He used Fabricate: Atomic Device, on the big bad guy's castle... He is never allowed to do that again. |

(Hm kind of unfair not to let him do the spell after spending the effort to create it, but I suppose infinite atomic bombs in a society where no one is even close to figuring out nuclear physics would just be boring)
63. I can't turn the entire campaign into a complex plan to gain total control on all production of glass in the world. 64. Screw it glass does not exist at all, instead they will all be replaced with a unbreakable plastic substance. 65. Sand also does not exist anymore. |

I let it go off, but I will never create the conditions where that could come up in another game.

Re: Another 2000 Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG
There aren't that many nuclear physicists that really know the ins and outs of a real world nuke. Theoretical knowledge is no match for engineering practicality. I would make hims sweat out the details, and likely make it not go off or with horribly low yield.

Re: Another 2000 Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG
I admit I was flabberghasted, and yes this guy acvtually took the time to explain how a low grade nuclear bomb (IE:fatman & littleboy not an ICBM) would work, once you get the machine to split the atoms right....

I know the basis of the internal combustion engine. But I sure as heck could not build a car.

Bunnie in a world of humanity is more Cthulu-esque than anything else I can imagine. They exist in a world with incredibly powerful intelligent but completely uncaring creatures that will kill them with nary a thought.
