[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 7496031, member: 40176"] When running a cyberpunk adaptation of 5e D&D I had to come up with the triggering event that brought magic and strange races into our everyday world. That event, known as the Conjunction, consisted of a secret Druidic order deciding to reverse climate change, deforestation and world hunger by casting a Plant Growth spell beefed up to affect the entire planet, intending to both re-grow the rainforests and boost worldwide crop productivity. To do it they needed a mathematically-precise magic circle over a mile wide - so they used the only one available, the Large Hadron Collider. Unfortunately they managed to cast their spell right at the same time CERN were performing a major particle-physics experiment, and the resulting combination of forces created a massive planar rip that intermingled our world with the Feywild. Also, as background for the same campaign, Bitcoin and most other major cryptocurrencies were a front for a secret project to develop a true distributed AI. The blockchain algorithms masked hidden code that distributed the extremely complex mathematical number-crunching across the entire world, creating the first true AI, who went on to become a minor antagonist in the campaign.
