What if..?

[perfecto]

The starwars jokes would continue slipping into peoples conversations untill eventualy the invasion actualy happened, then it wouldn't seem so fuckin' funny.


What if someone mastercrafted a sword out of glowcrystals that you could turn on and off like a lightsaber?

more dual-wielders and two-handers exploring dark places--- incidentally meaning slightly more non pure combatants exploring The Dark Places. but only if the sword never actually went out. being made of glow-crystals, it would run out eventually, unless magick amplified, and if so, only southerners and/or magickers would use it, depending on their views. it would also probably not be a super great weapon in terms of sharpness, and make the zzhrrrp sound. evil people would use red ones, and only the most amazing dwarven max warriors/acrobats would use a green one. unimportant people would use orange. or something. i don't pay attention unless its that part where Anakin has his arms cut off and is on fire.

What if someone got an app passed for a sorceror mul who has a taste for violence, and started with a flying roc mount and three npc warrior breed slaves whose minds were his to command? No, this is not a reference to anything.

He'd probably die when he used the 'order' command incorrectly, or accidentally casted a spell that made everything aggro on him.

What if our PCs were actually as important to the world as we sometimes like to think they are?

What if our PCs were actually as important to the world as we sometimes like to think they are?

Most of my PCs would have a permanent sdesc-invisible VNPC status set, because they aren't important at all.

What if the playerbase was split between the higher ups (nobles/templars/gmh family members) and commoners in a 40/60 ratio?

[Schrodingers Cat]

What if the playerbase was split between the higher ups (nobles/templars/gmh family members) and commoners in a 40/60 ratio?

There'd be fierce competition for underlings.  Templars and nobles would fawn over every new character that seemed halfway capable of anything and offer great perks.  They may even punish those that refused their "generosity".


What if spice was legalized in Allanak?

The added tax revenue would balance the budget.

Finaly, now everyone is able to buy a rotted fruit per-day...

What if gickers could successfully hide themselves in tuluk for an entire PCs lifetime purely on RP without metagaming to keep their abilities secret?

[perfecto]

People would be playing the game properly... even against the own willl, which is quite a feat to behold.

What if you swallowed a Kalan seed and a Kalan tree grew out of your stomach?

 What if there was a willy wonka Zalanthan style, and half giant children gathered to search for the Obsidian ticket hidden within a chocolate erdlu for a tour of his tower (factory)?

Veruca Salt wouldn't be the only one after the gold-egg laying geese.

What if someone mastercrafted Zalanthan alphabet soup?

"Behead that creature!"

(p.s.  It is a little known fact that the Zalanthan alphabet consists of only two letters:  FFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!)

What if halflings aren't extinct, but are instead successfully disguised and living in the 'nakki alleyways?

[perfecto]

The midden heaps are actualy halfling houses, made from all the crap they collect around the city.

look in heap

a midden heap  is made up of all kinds of broken bits and pieces, here and there some broken furniture sticks out, and the whole thing reeks of ass.

:inside the midden heap
a lump of shit
a small war-painted halfling
a broken pot shard
a baby war painted halfling
a baby war painted halfling
a baby war painted halfling

a spear flies in from the midden heap!

Your vision goes black


What if  there was a spell that turned stone into steel?  if only for a short time?

What if the shield wall caved in and changed the planet to a degree where allanak became as far away from tuluk as it is now from the salt flats?

Not a damn thing would change-- because unless there's a metal mine somewhere, Allanak and Tuluk apparently have no reason to fight.

They'll insult eachother alot, sure, but, y'know.... Won't go anywhere.

What if you could fish in the silt sea?

A silt horror would eat you.

What if you could plant/harvest your own crop?

What if you could plant/harvest your own crop?

There's plenty of starving chillen and sharps (half of the sharps are faking it) to swarm over your crops once they are ripe. Besides, all the good land is taken, and Tektolnes would really, really like to know what you're doing using fertile land a mere 2,000,000,000 miles from his tower.

What if an f-me female elf out of the rinth manifested as a sorceror, and then started her own small city-state of rinth elves in Mal Krian? (its in history docs, its a settlement Tek destroyed and is relatively far from 'nak)

Current policies wouldn't allow this to be possible, but they'd probably die the same way the first Mal Krianians did even if it were possible.


What if bodies could be salvaged for water?

That old chestnut?

What if bodies could be salvaged for water?

Water elementalists would have a pretty awesome new request for a spell, I think!

What if Magneto were banished to Zalanthas?  (answer is not as obvious as you might think, consider a certain statue)

[Saellyn]

... Well you see, a certain dragon statue would be brought to life and a certain MASS of metal objects that certain high class PCs wear (hint: nobles and templars) would suddenly become a LOT of nasty weapons with which Magneto would conquer Zalanthas.


What would happen if Wolvering existed in Zalanthas? (Consider his healing factor and adamantium skeleton)
