Welcome to the madhouse!
With regard to RPGs, one of these days I ought to post some version my rant about how "Continual Light" totally breaks the basic D&D setting (though they've changed the spell since I first started ranting about it; I'm mildly curious if I'm the reason). Waaaaay too many people (and yes, this does include fantasy authors) overlook or ignore the ramifications of whatever tech (scientific or magical) they introduce to their worlds.
One wonderful example is the late Shadowbane MMORPG. They gave us medieval castles and Star Trek technology. Sure, they called it magic, but when you've got cloaking devices, phasers, and transporters, it's tech, no matter what you call it. And we used it accordingly. The medieval castle model didn't hold up too well, since it was designed to defend against people on foot with pointy things, not the functional equivalent of a stealth A-10 (aka my Channeler) cruising over the walls or a combined-arms force hitting the place from both outside and inside, with the hapless defenders trapped on the walls. They thought "we'll give the players castles, and that will make them act like medieval armies" ... we thought "we've got this tech, what can we do with it?" The answers to that question were the beginning of the end for Shadowbane.
And hey, at least we're all worked up about "octopi" (at least some of us are; it's my preferred plural) and not about you writing a rape/violence/beer fantasy ....
