One player in my group just always thinks the craziest things and they often aren't supported by the rules. It's not a bad thing and sometimes you can't help but say no simply because it doesn't make sense. And sometimes the ideas are like "no, that's stupid" but you don't actually say that. The DM in one of my groups actually goes along with him a lot more than anyone else. He learned the "Yes, but..." stance, like "Okay, that can work, BUT it's going to be difficult or may not come out quite like you expect". He learned that after this one Shadowrun game we played. It was a prewritten and dealt with us traveling the world. Two of us had spent money and modded our vehicles, so we were trying everything we could do to find a a sort of cargo plane to transport our vehicles with us. Everything we did failed and not because of rolls or anything, but because he simply said no because the adventure recommended against it. That happened so long ago and it occasionally is brought up again, but he's learned from his mistake.I sometimes miss that innocence, that lack of knowledge about things. Oh, to be able to view the world with new eyes and experience everything for the first time again.I'm guessing a lot of the preconceived notion is based on what you grew up with. For me, one of the biggest things I grew up with were Final Fantasy 2 and 3, which had a nice mixture of fantasy and tech. It had magic, but it also had tech like airships, a giant mecha, tanks, machines, robots... So to me, adding things like firearms and machines are nothing. And really, the difference between robots/mechs and golems/clockwork (standard dnd creatures) is mainly on how you present it.</blockquote>
