Post- Industrial Dunceons & DRacons by Philip Athans illustrated by by Wayne Reynolds A thousand years ago, disputes between nations were settled on battlefields at the point of a sword or pike. Now those conflicts are settled with automatic rifles and laser-guided smart bombs. The real world didn't stop at plate armor and crossbows, so why should a fantasy setting? What's different about fantasy worlds? Magic, monsters, and gods. These three things didn't stop the invention of the crossbow, so why should they stop the invention of the gun? bring your cempaign worl! nto the spell descnpions alone, How ‘change?

You might opt for a dwarven renaissance during which the stocky folk develop magic al their own, The Greviawk 2000 campaign also introduces two new races: the sivaan and the breed. Both started as the half-elf and half-ore, but it seemed that, over time, halfelF would mix with half-elf and half-ore with half-ore 10 create new races all heir own. Both siivaan and breed characters can be ‘ereated using the basic core rules for half-elves and half-ores, but ther places in the world have changed. No longer are they “changelings” and “hal-breeds,” but distinct cultural entities with their ‘own nations, poltical and economic power, fashions, and industries. The player character races might have changed in other ways, moving farther away from each other rather than closer.

As suc, both halflings and elves might not be available as races for player characters, LUkewise, sentient races generally relegated to non-player or “monster” status might have achieved the potca, ‘economic, or cultural breakthroughs necessary to put them on even footing, ‘with the other races.

The same fs true of communism and socialism in al thelr varieties, There might be a fantasy version of Lenin, Trotsky, or Mao on your word, but there dowsn't have to be.

The worship of Beory has been rather isorganized, but a recent trend might change that. ‘The Church of Beory Rescendant is a nature cult favored, oddly enough, by the rich and idle of the major cities of the U.G.U, Public opinion sees this sect as faddish and shallaw, and many of the traitional followers of Beory ‘actively fight against this urban blasphemy. ‘Though authorities in the U.C.U. have been unable to gather solid evidence, there are more than passing suspi- ‘ions that the Church of Beory Rescendant i, in fact, 2 front for eca-rarroriss from Velene.

Velene remains silent on the issue. Meanwhile, membership in the Church of Beory Rescendant is growing by as much as 60% a year, mostly ‘among the wealthiest 10% of the UCLU. The church wields increasingly considerable influence. ‘The Lodge of the Deep Wood, an ulira-conservative sect ‘of elven Beory-worshipers, holds enormous power in \Velene, Strongly militant, they occasionally send druid agents out of their great forest on missions to protect Oerih, the body of the Oerth Mother.
