The Carthaginians kept on attacking and attacking the Romans, until the Romans reached a point where they had enough! This was Republican Rome by the way. I think what made Rome great was that it was a republic, to a certain degree the Roman Republic was acting in service to its people, they had...

It is incomplete, I was just giving you what I had so far. Stating out the cities was a bit tedious so I needed a change of pace, these stats don't represent warriors, I am doing that later. The Commoner is the most numerous character class out there, most of them are farmers or peasants, when...

Spelljammer is fantasy space travel, so I would keep it as an add on to the D&D game, it is Dungeons and Dragons onboard magical flying ships in space, so I would keep the boarding action, and keep all the rules. I would not go in the direction of Starfinder, I would resist the temptation to...

What is wrong with the D&D classes? Aristocrat, Barbarian, Bard,, Commoner, Cleric, Druid, Expert, Fighter, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Paladin, Sorcerer, Warrior, and Wizard? I think those cover the whole gamut?

Unlike the Nazis, the Romans did not kill millions of innocent civilians, to then that would have been a waste of potential labor. The Romans might have enslaved them, or if they behaved themselves they might eventually make them Roman citizens if the conquest went smoothly. Most Roman Emperors...

The Roman Empire was more tolerant of other gods besides their own during their pagan era, than the Christians were, there is that. Rome under the State Religion was a more tolerant society and it was more cosmopolitan than it became when it adopted Christianity as its state religion. Also a...

For about 150,000 years most humans lived just like the Native Americans did before European explorers made contact with them. How many cultures existed during those years that were lost to the sands of time because they had no written language to record their events, all we have is...

Game Designers always like to innovate and introduce new additions of their games. I like add ons to 3.X rather than new editions, if I learn how to play a game, I'd rather buy new game material that goes with it rather than another new and improved version of the Core rules, how about some new...

Part of the problem is native American tribes did not have a written language with which to record their history, so their history went unrecorded. What if there was not a period of colonization and exploration? The only way I think that could have happened is if we stayed in the Dark Ages, and...

Here is the first installment of the encounters tables:

Empires are a vehicle for their Emperors to gain power, mostly the other cultures that were conquered were every bit as tyrannical as the Romans were, its just that they were smaller. The benefit of the Roman empire was that it kept the peace for those living within it. If you replace a bunch of...

I think that was the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was a German Empire with pretensions of being a renewed Roman Empire, that was the First Reich, The Second Reich was the German Empire under the Kaisers, The Third Reich was Hitler's Empire. The Roman Empire was a mixed bag, when...

Why Mexico? A visit to North America by the Vikings is like a visit to the late stone ages, a visit to the Aztecs is kind of like Ancient Egypt, the Aztecs also do human sacrifice, a paladin in the party is not likely to be culturally sensitive towards that.

So how would medieval Europe interact with the native tribes of North America in the time before guns? We have a small sample of that with the Vikings, but what if the players went further south in the Viking longships, they have bows and arrows, swords, and armor, the Native Americans also have...

What happens if you are role playing in Mythic Europe at around 1100 AD and your character manages to procure a Viking Longship and sail across the Atlantic? North America was discovered by Leif Erikson after all, not Columbus. the Viking colony in Vinland didn't last, but then player characters...

It took a while. I was working on this before I started discussing it. I found the map on the internet, buy googling Dungeons and Dragons Map of Europe, and someone made a map. The original map was half the size of this one. I imported it to my paint program, and then I doubled the size, so each...
