Well, I notice that alot of Urban Planescape is technoledgy in the planes.
But what about the effect of the planes on technoledgy?
Im not talking about adding the spell Open/close onto your stapler, I mean tech specifically influenced by the planes.
For example: Are there now entire power plants drawing energy from the elemental planes (fire, lightning, positive material...)
are there computers that use illusions instead of a screen (AKA: magic holograms)
Have rent-a-cops become rent-a-golems?
And ( I have to ask) are there now flying cars? If it works on a carpet...
Hmm... a massive geothermal power plant based on a coolant coil looping through a portal into the elemental plane of fire and through another portal into the elemental plane of water. That'd generate some serious high temperature steam. I thought about the quasielemental plane of steam, but I'm not sure if the temperature or pressure would do the trick. I don't think it would. No, the coolant loop is the way to go.
That'll work, but I think I'm gonna need some guards with rings of greater elemental resistance.
Hmm... I wonder... it's fairly straightforward to convert thermal energy or kinetic energy into electricity. What would it take to convert thermal or kinetic energy into belief? Or vice versa?
