Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 850657" data-attributes="member: 2020">IR refers to a thread that occurred on this board more than 2 years ago.  The thread predessumed that the gnomes had started an industrial revolution in parts of Faerun, and that this industrial revolution was just starting to really get going.  And I asked, what would your character do, now that he or she is seeing factories, railroads, and other 19th century items going upon in places like Calimshan, Chondath, Mulhorand, and in isolated places elsewhere?  The question and answers to it - then the counteranswers to the answers, then the counter-counter-answers, and the resulting story (the thread in it's total) was here on RPG General.  IR stands for Industrial Revolution.  The IR thread was the 1st Industrial Revolution thread.  It was not a game, per se.  It was very much like a story, being told as participants wished to tell it, with me loosely arbitrating things when I saw that the answers to my question were forming an actual cohesive story.  As you can see from my posts above, Faerun was altered beyond recognition in that story.    The impetus created by the gnomes and their inventions in Faerun caused a chain reaction which was every bit as life changing and world changing as the real Industrial Revolution of Earth in the 1800s.</blockquote>
