[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7240665, member: 996"] That question occurred to me eons ago, back in the 80s. What if D&D eleves (at the time, they could live like 1000 years), had been part of history? You'd have elven veterans of the American Revolution still alive - not even all that old. Magic and science would cross-pollinate - really, like they already tended to do in D&D, with scientific reference peppering spell descriptions - scientists would discover a new element, wizards would figure out how to conjure it. Things like that. 'Modern' weapons would get enchanted, which would extend their useful life. Watch out for that Colt Peacemaker of Speed. Another idea I had was to drop different races into different hisorical civilizations. What if the Romans had been Dwarves, what if the western hemisphere was inhabited by elves (those white ships had been going somewhere!). That kinda thing. Ultimately it's a little creepy, though.
