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?

As a DM: Trying to sneak such an idea by me and trying to exploit the world with knowledge that doesn't fit are two surefire ways for you to get that idea blocked completely with no chance to ever use it again.

If you want to introduce that technology to the world, talk to the DM, tell her that you would hate for that idea to be used by the enemy company and work out a way that makes it fun, but not completely game breaking for this to appear.

Seriously, how come people still don't get the number one rule of playing a COOPERATIVE game?
