This has turned into a "project".
I knew better but oh well...
Anyhoo, gonna open a thread in mods for where this is going in case anyone is actually following any of this.
My loose bowls of consciousness movement stream seems to have washed the roads out.
"Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up."
...
I noticed awhile back that different people "imagine" things in different ways, sometimes quite differently indeed.
I played a whole bunch of AD&D back in the day.
As a result of this I have a notion connected to the term "fireball" of the old MU's fireball, specifically the bit where it was described as a total volume of roughly 33,000 cubic feet or yards.
A fun idea in a dungeon I must say.
I've learned to adjust from that initial "visual" but that's where I start.
More often than not though I find other folks have a different starting point for the idea of a fireball spell be it from another game or a movie or programe.
Now if I'm just swapping damage this usually isn't much of an issue but if I as a GM want to use the 33,000 ft^3 volume for a fireball then I need to go into more detail in describing the spell and its effects than just basic range and damage.
Roads are working alot like fireballs.

If only I had a holocaust cloak...
