[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7322951"] Yes, that's a fair point. (To which I could counter that there are firearms in the DMG, gnomes making gadgets, and other examples of minor technology, so plasma rifles would only be taking an existing concept further. But I won't.) But you're also...I know there's a formal term for this...mixing up the arguments here. I wasn't responding to "can't I have the Warlord" I was responding to "can't I have a low magic D&D". Not just the inclusion of an element, but (unless I'm misunderstanding the request) but an actual genre shift. Is low magic a smaller shift than high tech? Probably. Not sure that changes the underlying argument. Except that's not what I've been saying. Allow me to quote myself from a few posts back (I'll assume you just missed it, instead of being all snarky): In other words, it's not player behavior at the table that I'm concerned about, it's the narrative implications. Yeah. You know, I really would love to get into the whole exchanging personal insults with you because I enjoy that sort of thing more than I should, but every time I think I'm responding eye-for-an-eye to this kind of stuff I'm the one the forum mods come down on. So I think I'll just report you instead. (Which is new for me...I'll have to actually find the Report This Post button.) [/QUOTE]
