When one day he told us the size of the city we were in was more miles across then the state we live in (over 100 miles)  we went bonkers... especially when it had a population of a normal D&D town... later we went into a dungeon and we had just traveled north from this kingdom size city but had not gotten to the mountains... when we came out the mountains were to our east... we came out the same door we went in, and there was no magic... so the guy trying to map (since the DM didn't map the world) started going a bit nuts with 'moving mountains'.  It got worse yet a bit later when we took a boat from the eastern side of the super city less then a day west and somehow managed to make it to another city... when we pointed out we were still WELL inside the size of the city he labeled it he didn't know what to say.  Then came the dinosour... that ran through the gate to the center of town and to the ocean... remember this city was over 100 miles, so how long did it take the dino to do it... 3 rounds. 18 seconds to go 100 miles that is 6ish miles per second...someone figuted that to be about 22,000 miles per hour.  when asked if there was a sonic boom he got mad. now I have had 'nonsense' worlds... I had one with root beer geysers chocolaty trees and oxygen producing elves (they breath in carbon dyoxid and out oxygen the oppisit of humans) and I also casually dropped kryptonians invading into a 3.5 game, so lord know I am not going to falt someone for some bat poop crazy things... but you need to know what your character understands...in ross's game he was making up as he went where cities changed sizes and mountains moved and rivers dried up into desserts over night it wasn't some 'oh this is a clue' there was nothing to figure out... he just had a poop memomry and was making it up. The poor guy trying to map that world I swear aged 5 years in the 3ish months we played</blockquote>
