'S fine.- Well, additional raw material can be gotten from the big rocks that fall, and someone can figure out ways to use otherwise unmineable squares... But aside from that, this is a production bid, since, in combination with the elevation rule, it introduces tunnel travel as a new means of grid movement. And a new way to deal with sirens (who, it now occurs to me, would have cubical ZOEs), and a new hazard: the collapsing of the right tunnels could leave a player trapped underground. I'm not saying we can't have non-grid realms...in fact, I still miss my dimships and their prospects for it. But I think it might be better if they were totally disconnected from the grid. Or, alternatively, parallel to it...so that the grid is effectively four-dimensional...:) Glotmorf _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
