The Riddle of Steel

@dnd

I have an idea for a get-rich-quick scheme: using the Bessemer process to create massive amounts of high-quality steel. However, I'm sure my #DM has not given a single thought to this (because I know her) so I'm worried that this might give God fun #worldbuilding ideas to fuck with our party. How do I tell my group my plan, without having the industrialized slave company I know is on the other side of the map spontaneously develop a similar process?

@GrimSheeper My backstory gives me an excuse. Essentially, my warlock has a pact with the embodiment of the big bang. This pact was made after he spent four years squatting in its library on the astral plane reading all the books it had. The whole point of this character is to inflict science on the setting and see what happens. The dm knows this.

On a side note, I'm starting to think it wants to be incarnated in the mortal world. I'm not sure having the big bang happen again is a good thing.

Fair enough! My compliments on your character's backstory - that sounds fun!

Also, I would think that a second big bang would be morally neutral on a universal scale, but that's not much comfort for the people currently existing...
