Human beings are human beings American Indians would do the same things that European colonists did when they came to America, they would clear forests in Europe and build farms. European tribesmen would resent these intruders, and would hunt their buffalo in their pens, and there would be...

What did Europeans worship 2250 years ago? Most Europeans were not monotheistic at that time, they worshipped all sorts of gods and goddesses, including those of the Greeks and Romans. Also none of them would be speaking modern English The only thing these modern Indians would have in common...

Gunpowder wouldn't give the Indians that much of an advantage, much of the success against the Indians had to do with organization of the white settlers plus the US Army, the opponents the Indian colonists would be facing would be organized. In our history, Indians did get their hands on guns...

2250 years later any culture could predominate and new religions could be established. I don't know why it would be insulting to consider the American Indians capable of technological development and modernization, the typical image of an American Indian was one of a warrior with face paint...

I didn't say conquering three continents would be easy. You know what started the slave trade? Malaria, it is an African disease brought to the New World by Europeans, and Europeans and Indians kept dying of it, so that made it uneconomic to use indentured servants south of the Mason-Dixon line...

American Indians are human just like Europeans, they are just as subject to vices as Europeans are. I think if American Indians got more civilized on their own, they would become less nature oriented. On the other hand, the Ancient Egyptians worshipped a lot of animalistic gods and goddesses...

if the American Indians have magic, then the Europeans, Africans and Asians have magic too. Magic would tend to reduce the impact of technological differences as spells would tend to dominate on the battlefield.

This is an idea I picked up from a dream I had last night. Imagine wooden ships crewed by American Indians wearing black hats and frock coats landing on the shores of Europe and Africa in 1250 BC armed with gunpowder muskets and cannons. The Indians don't have horses, so when they see them it is...

Probably the same way you just did. I copy and paste. I find an image of a character sheet on the internet, I copy, and I bring it here and paste it when the text window is set on WYSIWYG.

There are many more things to track now then back with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. An Advanced Dungeons and Dragons character Sheet looks like this: You notice proficiencies/skills/languages are a bit of an after thought A typical character sheet on notebook paper would have the name...

You used to be able to roll up a character on a sheet of notebook paper, now you need dedicated character sheets!

That's one of the reasons they are hard to spell, French words have a lot of extraneous letters that don't help in the pronunciation of the word. I am notorious for misspelling French words that have been adopted by the English language but have kept their troublesome French spelling.

So bulletes are French are they?

Like this, bullet!

Armies don't like to go into dungeons, as they don't like being cannon fodder, and Dungeons provide tremendous opportunity for the defender and enormous cost to the attacker, plus an army isn't quiet. The way a dungeon is laid out with encounters in each room waiting for the players to enter...

Since Drow don't exist, there is no correct way of pronouncing it, as no Drow will ever correct you!

Is a Grey Elf ever young? Why is it grey? Do other elves turn into grey elves when they get old?

Yeah, I must have been rushed, now if I can remember where it came from, it was quite a while ago. You mean the Star Frontiers spaceships right? Here's one http://img06.deviantart.net/9804/i/2015/095/5/8/star_frontiers___explorer_ship_with_lander_ortho_by_jaythurman-d7iv7su.jpg And here's the...

There is the rule that you can't go back to a time when you are already alive, but it turns out that rule was only a suggestion anyway. If you wait long enough, you can send a kid back in a time machine who wasn't born yet to gather information.

True enough, the Gm should never reveal the precise rules of time travel to the players, there are two extremes which don't really work in a role playing game. 1) History can never be changed 2) Whenever history is changed you always create an alternate timeline, even if you do the slightest...
