I cast "Baconstorm!"
Agreed. Fantasy gaming is the one area of life in which imperial units don't routinely grate on my nerves... and D&D for instance would be even better if it went all out, with the chains and the hogsheads and such.Ironic the conversions to metric -- I'd think bizarre unit labels might be part of the setting charm. I'm just waiting to purchase an RPG that measures in cubits, furlongs, and leagues.
Or even better, just make it up. "Five feet"? Naw, just call it a "longpace" and be done with it. Then it doen't matter what country you're in, as long as the locals are vaguely man-sized.
