I'll have it up in the next couple hours  :D Until then I do have a few questions.<br/><br/>1. Is there radiation fallout from nuclear factories that lost power unexpectedly? I'm not thinking humans transform into zombies from the contamination, just that it could add to the drama if people were becoming sick or dying from radiation poisoning. Fun stuff!<br/><br/>2. What would happen to the International Space Station, or any moon base or Mars rover that might be up there among the stars? Are they still operational for the time being since they are not in the earth's atmosphere? Or can we assume every piece of technology no matter where in the galaxy, shut down?<br/><br/>3. Would it be allowed if later players 'reinvented' primitive technology such as some sort of water or suction powered propulsion device either as a makeshift gun or slingshot or even a vehicle? What about recreating old fashioned light bulbs? The whole Ben Franklin copper wire and all. Just curious what would be allowed.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>1) Shihong put it nicely, yes but not now. He addressed it so I'll move on<br/><br/>2) You could assume that something as far reaching  as this would effect everything or you could assume it's a localized attack and the rover/space station was spared from the attack. It really depends on what you decide happened. I'd say it's safe to assume the change is far reaching though<br/><br/>3) It depends really. How would you go about reinventing them?<br/><br/>The change affects many of the violent aspects of humanity. Even basic black powder will  no longer explode so while yes, you could reinvent electric and even BASIC steam power, you couldn't reinvent guns. There is a supernatural element to this game.
