Salt worms would turn into.. grass worms  ???

What if tobacco was easily available as an alternative to spice?

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

PCs would be able to start with holes in their necks and snips cut out of their tongue. tek would have another widely-desired product to ban and cripple his economy with.

what if every magicker in the Known became violently insane and began killing everyone they could?

Renting apartments would become popular again, atleast until the gickers finish killing each other of.

What if any merchant guild could craft a real working wagon without any rp or assistance, besides the 'craft' command.

WAGONTHRALL.

What if silt skimmers were quit-safe?
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.

You'd see this: 
A series of tentacles rises out of the Silt.

Think OH NO!

What if Silt Horrors could be tamed?

Out PCs would have to be a whole lot nicer to the half-elves that tame them.

What if magickers could mastercraft spells?

>east

The jerk-faced 'gicker has arrived from the east, on an immense t-rex.

>giggle madly.

The jerk-faced 'gicker giggles madly.

>cast 'lotsa magick fire-words oh and set my ride on fire, yeah.'

The jerk-faced 'gicker sets an immense t-rex on fire.

An immense t-rex throws you off its back!

An immense t-rex on fire begins eating people.

(It would make lots of room for ridiculous situations, weird deaths, and stuff that just doesn't make sense IG anymore.)

What would happen if spice addiction was coded?

It is.

What if sorcerers each got a coded familiar picked via dice roll from the wild animals they pass during the course of their life? Cool or suck?  ;D

You mean that necromantic tregil that followed me sorceror around all the time wasn't a familiar?

D:

What if there was a subguild_painter with the ability to make paintings everyone could see, in the same way that writing works now? Or in a similar way to scribble (which NO ONE seems to use anymore).

there'd be a lot of zalanthan porn going around.

Travel would be easier for everyone, raiding would be done based on fly rooms, and whirans would be generally annoyed and yell at people to "get off our sky!" at those young whippersnappers.

What if templars had to have proof of a crime before they could kill you?
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

They would have to fall back on doing a lot of crippling and maiming.

What if half-elves had awesome, even-better-than-a-dwarf racial stat modifiers?

Then the Byn would be full of emo warriors.

What if stone was actually something that could be codedly quarried, shaped into building blocks and hauled into cities?
Lunch makes me happy.

Player run taverns -everywhere-.

What if elves were the dominant race instead of humans?

Lots of very tall templars. However, nobody would really care, because they'd all be sharps too. However, the desert elves would cease to consider city elves as elves, making "true elves" still the second (or third?) dominant race.

What if a Gith became an Allanaki templar?

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.

A game I found on another forum, the poster answers the question from the poster above and then posts on of there own. Extra points if you can keep it game related, I'll go first. "How different would the IG world be if muls were able to breed?"

Shit fucking everywhere.

Utep would get slapped for not doing it sooner.

What if the game really never moved to the cloud and this last machine error ruined everything beyond recovery, EVERYTHING?
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

You would have a lot of upset Armers going through withdrawal. Everyone (or many people) would want their characters back. However, Arm/Zalanthas itself would be gone, which would cause massive issues. In fact, it's like that Arm 1 would be abandoned altogether and Arm 2 would get all staff focus. To keep us from going completely insane, they would also ask for many projects to be completed. Arm 2 would suddenly loom up in a matter of months. Everything old would be lost and people would be upset, and many would leave. However, others would be glad that it was finally finished.

What if your current PC was transported into Arm 2 world, and got to meet their descendants?

I'd change all my passwords because someone was obviously sexing me and I don't remember any of it!

Many a young person would have stories to tell of their time working for the Gwoshi Express.

What if the gith started speaking Sirihish?
