[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6952517, member: 6716779"] Over the years I have generally run a low magic to medium level of magic in my games with races mostly being limited to AD&D ones and near humans (Tieflings, Aasimar, Genasi etc). Drow and Orcs are exotic races in my games. In my current games things like 19th century rifles exist but they are mostly treated as magic items as you cannot buy them and they are quite rare. I have also referenced the "Day of a Thousand Suns" and leaning towards a nuclear war in the ancient past. Every now and then I run something like a Spelljammer game. Now I am considering cranking the craziness up to 10 so if you want a flying Aaracokcra Sun Soul Monk with a six shooter or lazer pistol well now might be your chance. Its something I am leaning towards trialling out with a tribute to the Barrier Peaks or even just running expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I have never run that adventure for PCs and have acquired it recently in hardcopy. One of my factions has access to rifles and spelljammrs and I am thinking of something like a moonbase with Void Dragons (Tome of Beasts 5E) lurking around or drawing on the old Sega Phantasy Star books and putting in items like Sunblades. A lost race of "pilots" may have access to short range Spelljammers or a technological equivalent. Throw in Kaiju or Sandworms from Dune on said moon or elements of the old Sega Panzer Dragoon series or the 1980's Book of Wondrous Inventions (tanks, helicopters, ICBMs etc). The goal is to run to level 20 with level 14+ going full gonzo. Anyone statted up Predators in 5E terms? Is this something good to do as a once off? Pick your level of craziness from gunpowder weapons through to Warforged/Gearforged with bright blue hair and lazer guns,a moon base and possible Death Star Trench run on Dragonback. [/QUOTE]
