[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 3689073, member: 1014"] We don't have firearms because the universe/gods don't let us or the materials aren't there. OK. But .... We have dwarves who can make an adamantite sword cut through volcanoes but they can't muster up the metallurgy to make a decent steam engine railroad. We can build roads, but not dig a trench for canals. We have gods of healing and knowledge, but they never get together to work on germ theory. We have the ability to cut 10,000gp crystals and minerals, but we don't have the optics to make a decent magnifying glass to look at cells. It is more important to a city to magic up a +2 longsword than it is to feed thousands of people. This applies even to lawful good areas. People worship evil gods and commit evil deeds knowing that there exists a literal hell. Anywhere that has so much as a 1st level cleric can get daily confirmation of this. The level of communication between deity and worshiper could only be improved with instant text messaging, yet almost every lawful good church in D&D has at least one person, if not a sub-organization, that operates with malignant motivations.
