[QUOTE="Salcor, post: 1865888, member: 6573"] DMScott, I definately agree with you on the ways technology would develop in a magically heavy world. I am a big fan of the Dragonstar universe, and I love the premise that they introduce in it. Basically technology allows mundanes to use the laws of physics, magic allows you to break those laws. Thus faster than light travel is not possible without magic. Although I think they fall a little short on where they should be. In my view, technology allows you to reproduce some things that magic can do (in dragonstar, a missile launcher and a fireball are similar). The difference is technology is heavier, less accurate and generally more limiting, where as a spellcast has superior accuracy and at higher levels, firepower. Another thing for you to look for Aristotle, is try and find Dragon #277. It has an article about advancing the Greyhawk world to a modern setting. Hope this helps. Salcor [/QUOTE]
