[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6289224, member: 92511"] Not to assault the deceased equine, but I don't know what "time most fantasy RPGs" you play in are set...or that you can possibly make such an assertion without having played in "most fantasy RPGs". I, myself, have never played in ny game setting that is supposed to be a mirror of the real world. [I]My[/I] fantasy world has nothing analogous to a "real world time/history" or the technological record thereof. There are metal weapons and armor (in most cultures), there are stone-tipped spears and huts in others, great citadels of stone or enchanted shaped wood, even some of magical crystal, some societies have aqueducts and huge bathhouses built over hot springs, some have outhouses and wells, other (fortunates) have dwarven-engineered flushing toilets and piped hot water (as only dwarves could conceive of such a thing). Some have golems [or other constucts] of bone/stone/wood/flesh or metal, while others continue to rely on [sapient beings and sanctioned] slave labor...and then, naturally, magic that can make pretty much anything anyone could want. Some live on clouds, taming griffons, and others beneath the darkest reaches of the known seas traveling in fantastic magical "whales" [would be the closest "real" thing]...and then there's the UNknown seas to contend with! There is no "real world time" to say no you can't/this doesn't exist...though I do disallow any sort of modern/historic/or sci-fi "gun/firearm". It simply takes me completely OUT of the "fantasy" mindset immediately. So, yeah, the "technology" exists to make leather and hardened/armor leather. No prob. [/QUOTE]
