How do you feel about the use of guns in this setting?

We know how to make them and they're useful, mainline production.
- 4 (33.3%)
They seem out of place and run rather counter to a fantasy setting, avoid them.

Get outta here, nerd, nobody finds guns that interesting.
- 1 (8.3%)
Go ahead and have the NPCs make em, but not worth player input.
- 1 (8.3%)
Support, but they shouldn't be the standard weapons.

THe VEry F*cking Definition of  KELVIN in PHYSICS books is 'ALL MOLECULES HAVE STOPPED MOVING'! You trust Google? Google has the simplified version. What do you trust more: PHYSICS BOOKS or GOOGLE?

Sorry about that

Relevant article.

In effect, while a negative energy state is not achieved, a technical negative temperature is, and this produces interesting effects. I imagine if Fish wanted to create a thaumotechnical device to do something similar on a useful scale, he could. I'd say that's a matter of considerable time to figure out, even assuming Patham knowns about this area of physics.

IIRC, if you were to increase something to infinite kelvin (also impossible) it would be the same as if at negative kelvin. Or something like that, all I can remember is that if you go far enough in either direction you end up where you started because it's a loop or something. Going to go read the article now.

EDIT: Yep, that's a fairly accurate description. Oh, and since we were talking about nukes, we could make fairly small ones and just use catapults/trebuchets or something.

The issue with that is that A: Fairly small ones are much more difficult than big, simple ones, and B: A catapult or trebuchet doesn't have nearly the range to be safe with a big, simple nuke. You could totally use a really big trebuchet to throw a nuke, but it'd land maybe a kilometer away, if that, and then kill you.

I'm sure it wouldn't take you very long, in the grand scheme of things, to develop some kind of delivery method, and you're already considering flying machines.
