[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3933378, member: 19675"] I've got a campaign W.I.P. that involves a postapocalyptic setting in a fantasy realm. I was wondering what RW modern materials might survive the collapse of civilization due to a vast meteor shower that might get reworked into masterwork arms & armor, and what kind of characteristics they might have. I'm thinking that some of the super ceramics like zircon carbide (and others that have a Mohs hardness above 10) would be extremely valuable, but might only survive in small shards- suitable for making a serrated edge of a weapon (like obsidian shards or a shark's teeth), but not being able to be made into a whole weapon. Man-made synthetic corundum and diamond might screw with the economics of the world...and may even have different values as magical components. Certain titanium alloys might also survive, but might only be able to be reworked in a magical forge since a regular smith's forge couldn't hit the temperatures neccessary to re-melt the stuff. And there is a lot of stuff out there- what about plastics? Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
