What if female dwarf, mul and half-giant PCs were as common as the males?

We'd see fewer and apartments would be scarcer.

What if mudsex were coded?

I'd have maxed my skill and be mastercrafting things by now.

What if there were a logical and realistic way to get ice in game?
Yes. Read the thread if you want, or skip to page 7 and be dismissive.

Welcome to Armageddon!  '(mantishead)

What if Armageddon was based on Shadowrun instead of Dark Sun?

I'd be special apping for a cranial bomb for my megacorp courier.

What if Zalanthas had more nighttime hours?

Edited for continuity.

There would be more corpses on the city streets.

What if the shifting sands in the Red Desert revealed the Statue of Liberty, a la Planet of the Apes?

The city-states would war over attempts to disassemble the metal parts of the statue.

What if character handsomeness / ugliness was a coded stat like agility, displayed with every 'look' command on said PC?

All of the (especially fuck me) female PCs would roll it first, and the game would be too much like Harshlands for me to care about it anymore.

What would happen if it really was as hard for the PCs to make money, like it is for the vNPC population?

(Lame question. I just had to make one up to play. :( )

I would order it first.

What if you found a tank on Zalanthas?

Someone would forge a depleted-uranium warsword.

What if silt giants were guarding El Dorado?

It would be a lot easier to find.

What if the Sea of Silt turned out to be created intentionally as a barrier to another, super powerful city-state and this new city-state became open for play but no one in it would know about the Known World on the other side?

I would make sweet, sweet love to every member of staff that desired me to do so.

What if it were suddenly discovered that 1 in ever 100,000 grains of sand was actually a grain of metal?
Yes. Read the thread if you want, or skip to page 7 and be dismissive.

I would be foraging metal a lot.

What would happen if Red Storm East were smashed to nothing by Giants?

Probably not much. Just sayin.

What would happen if humans could be skinned?
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

It would be hard to buy flour in Allanak.

Humans would be skinned. A lot. Also, exciting new mastercraft recipes.

What if Allanak were destroyed a (RL) year or more before the transition to Arm 2?
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

Tektolnes would probably bury Tuluk like he did Steinal.

What would happen if Valasuras came back as a Lich?


What if we all got it horribly wrong?

What if instead of playing the game, Zalanthas was real life? And real life was the game?
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

What is we could play silt horrors?

or any beast.

What if we could play other peoples mounts?
The funny little foreign man

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

My character would be the first to give up their soul and volunteer to become the first of his Death Knights.

What if it was Steinal really was discovered as a massive underground new area to explore?

The staff, in their infinite kindness, would probably populate it with monsters so that no one could stay that long.

What if a new kind of super-sorceror came about that could wallop defilers in the face?

What would happen if Tek and Muk Utep had a baby?

It would likely be very dangerous, being born with insurmountable power and a chip on its shoulder from being an "ass baby."

What if half-elves were punk rock instead of emo/gothic?

We'd see a lot more mohawks and bards geared up in leather with bone studs.

What if the economy was actually balanced?

The Merchant Houses would be screwed.

What if Templars were happier and nicer?

They would sing songs as they pull your limbs off.

What if war beetles could talk?
