Peasant Railgun

I hadn't heard of this until it was called out in a paragraph in the new DND 2024 rules explaining that the game is an abstraction and not a physics textbook.

I think games this are most fun when you play within the bounds of the rules (as written) and not consider them reality simulators (...magic...). Then you can approach the rules as merely constraints in which to optimize solutions to problems.

Of course as games like DnD are also a social affair, it's worth making sure everyone is having fun with something like this, otherwise what's the point?

I never could get into DnD because of the roleplaying. To me games are a set of rules which I view as a puzzle.
