It's OK if you don't get my point. I may be an unclear communicator, or I may be addressing a field outside your experience. The snark and condesension, however, are unnecessary.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill, to the Prime Minister of Japan (who unfortunately was not actually in a position to tell the Imperial Army what to do), December 1941: Are you aware the US can out-produce Japan in steel and oil and other essential wartime resources by 10-to-1 ? We know the...

For sale or rent: One Wizard visage, comes with pair of glasses (to signify book-learning) and fashion-forward moustache (instead of seen-it-everywhere beard).

If you venerate Kossuth, XL Elemental of Fire ...

In 1977, I did get the impression that the big-engined speedster was a diplomatic vessel with special protections / privileges (maybe "personal" property that comes with the Senate seat), which Leia was trying to stretch the rules to get away with pulling a fast one.

An Arab cartographer (I do not know his name) heard that "The Nile flows down to the sea" so that is how he oriented his map. North is at the bottom.

That sounds like an opportunity to visit some sages who know about rituals and incantations (and geology) and such things. You probably will have to write your own "spell". Unless you want to walk into Mordor, sneak into the Barad-Dur, and steal Sauron's version out from under his very nose ...

IIRC the Star Trek episode was called "Miri". Or maybe that was the leader girl on the planet's name. A disease kills adults and makes teen / adolescence last for decades ... then you mature into adulthood and it kills you too.

As far back in time as Holy Grail is supposed to happen, if you invent a Silly Walk you can BE the first Minister.

If your character cannot afford a horse or even coconuts, can you still travel using Silly Walks?

Adventurers League figured out in short order how to mix-and-match the component parts of a Background. There is even a thread on optimising the choices to get extra GP. If customised backgrounds are to be the norm, create two dozen that each express a common RPG character, and attach the AL...

Lake Ontario is too big to see the other shore. (Except maybe from atop the Needle?) So it 'feels' like a seaCoast.
