[QUOTE="Allistar1801, post: 7639995, member: 6977279"] Yeah I get that, but I like giving my games at least a slight bit of grounding in reality. Something about being able to relate a game to our own world or history and thinking about the implications it would have just gets me going. I agree with you that certain things just become completely irrelevant after a certain point. There would never be famine again since druids or other people could double the output of the crops, keep them from decaying, and there would be less area devoted to them. People would live longer since the quality of the food is also probably better, and with magic cutting down on the amount of diseases it would probably have a much larger impact than we could really grasp the scope of in terms of our own history. I still believe that virulent things such as plagues would spread faster than they could cure them, but It would have definitely put a dampener on it. As for the industrialization of magic, I think it would be a bit harder than a magic supermarket, and it would definitely throw a wrench into the non-magic economy, but I'm neither experienced enough nor knowledgeable enough to have a comment on that.
