[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1955462, member: 2020"] Rikandur, I guarantee you I have not read your template or any of your sblocks. Except for the Rampage of Iuz, I haven't the foggiest notion of what you intend to do on Turn 1. The entire TEC Pact could be planning to alpha-strike my power out of existence on Turn 1, and turn Eclavdra over to Vecna as a present ... and I wouldn't know about it. (looks sad, and more than a little weary) I see people being scared by all the complexity. The IR isn't complex. No rules or lots of rules, IRs still come down to a simple concept: fun. You take a medieval campaign setting, and throw a bomb into it called high technology. Anarchy and change ensues as the presence of technology destabilizes the setting IC, and leads to a chain reaction which can make for a really good story and a lot of fun. That's what it's about. Edena_of_Neith EDIT: Remember the film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World? Well, knowledge of high technology is the IR equivalent of the knowledge of the money buried under the W in that movie. Or as the guy in the Bugs Bunny cartoon once asked: say, what would happen, if you dropped a cat into a dog show? (screeching cat runs away down street: 30 foot high and 50 foot long pile of dogs follows) We should get our own Icon. IR. Yeah. We Irians have earned it. :) [/QUOTE]
