Jeff, I totally agree. I see Jonathan's point but I think that CW is not a
chronological world like ours. "History" in it is not neccessarily like ours.
(This is sort of like people thinking that no life as we know it is possible
on, say, Jupiter. But they don't realize that there could be different forms
of 'life'!)
I don't think that CW will ever evolve out of its "medieval" (sp) times,
because then it wouldn't be Castle anymore! I don't think we can use mass
armies with guns/cannons/etc, but a couple of 'majickal' items are fine with
me - as long as they're rare, very sparse, and they should have (maybe?) some
story behind them (e.g. Tell about a journey to blacksmith and magician,
etc...).
Also the last point is the most important. Any decisions in a duet/trio/etc.
should be completely uninamous (sp?). This is in reference to any magical,
technological, *and* standard military stuff. If one side doesn't agree, you
just don't do it - end of story. (Of course, you can try to convince the other
side, but if they say no, it's no.)
HTH,
Shiri
