[QUOTE="Sigurd, post: 3333529, member: 19412"] I really like what Biggus Geekus did with his setting Murchad's Legacy. In his settings the technology minded dwarves were deeply committed to gunpowder and technology. The problem for them was that arcane magic found a way of coaxing gunpowder to explode on its own. (seemed logical to me as it is so close to going off anyway :) ) As a result his world has 2 first level spells (Detect & Detonate Gunpowder) that work in a radius. The presence of those spells in the world are a real deterrent to storing a lot of the stuff and must slow down development of the technology. So the common man may have heard of gunpowder but the horror stories of it blowing up in the face of those who use it make it _less_ reliable than magic. Sigurd I thought that was a good in game twist. [/QUOTE]
