#PennedPossibilities 15 Apr 'How does your SC respond to the quiet'

HayWire likes tranquillity. It allows him to concentrate on the fine detail of his work as a watchmaker, or his hobby as an inventor.

The paradox is that he is trying to use gunpowder or hydrogen or any explosives to invent new munitions.

#Wolfland in 2450AD has 19th century weaponry. Bows, arrows, crossbows, cannons. No rifles, no pistols.

And then cannons. It didn’t matter how strong you were. Or your sword, or your horse! You were no match for cannon balls. What we need now is another paradigm shift. Something like that, just as significant as gunpowder.” “What I need now” says MaxChaos “is something like a long bow, but smaller, and well suited to use on a ship when I’m fighting pirates!” “That’s easy” says HayWire “Genghis Khan solved that problem!

#pennedpossibilities 5 Mar 'confident under pressure'

. . . does The Garrison have any horses with experience of transporting ferocious live animals?
