I suspect the easiest answer to this question is that the precedent was set by the creator of the part game himself E. Gary Gygax in the classic S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks published around 1980 (so if you didn't play then... or worse yet weren't even born!) then you are rightfully confused, to those of us playing back then.... well we see no conflict. It has been done.... well.... before. As a side note Piers Anthony has an excellent book called Battle Circle showing how such cultures may interact.Dear James Jacobs,
Why is Numerian technology in Golarion. I thought that Golarion was supposed to be a FANTASY setting, not a sci fi setting, so why are there robots in a world with elves and dwarvesLet's not forget that there is a precedence for this in various fantasy books. Like the alien in Robert E Howard's Tower of the Elephant.
It's always disheartening to see people have a very close-minded view on what fantasy is supposed to be. It's one of the reasons why I've gotten out of science fiction reading.
But I'm rambling now.
Maybe Dungeons and Dragons has some robots, but at least they have spears and swords, I just can't stand looking at that annihilator robot on the numeria picture in the inner sea world guide, it has lasers and machine guns and everything is sci fi, whereas the warforged in d&d have swords and spears
