Simple, the Elves sailed across the Atlantic to discover Europe and they brought Renaissance era technology with them minus gunpowder and guns, these elves also have full plate mail and the full assortment of equipment found in the Player's handbook, the humans being a quick study adopted this...

1100 AD to be precise. Medieval Europe: This is the Dungeons & Dragons Map I plan on using. Each hex is a combination of two or more terrain types for instance there is sand dunes and desert, forested mountains, desert mountains, there are three kinds of forest, pine forests, deciduous forests...

Benefitted from racism? I really can't think of anyone who has benefitted from racism. Racism is always a negative thing. I am done talking about this subject, too many pitfalls and emotion, I'd rather talk about Vikings and medieval Europe, a much safer subject.

I quite agree. Without hard information, we have to substitute our own fiction. In my view there is nothing wrong with the Jungles of Chult. In our own world, Africa is still being explored, we have a complete map, but we are learning new things about it every day, because so much of it was...

I couldn't have said it better myself, the truth is inconvenient for us westerners who are hand wringing over European colonialism.

Funny, I've never heard the Kingdom of Kush mentioned in Social Studies, World civilization class. There was Sumer, there was Babylon, there were the Egyptians and their pyramids, there was Persia, the Ancient Greeks, China, Alexander's Empire, there was the Roman Republic, The Roman Empire, the...

Your right! Civilization was late in coming to Sub-Saharan Africa, there is no getting around that, that means there was not much writing. Most of Africa was unknown to most Europeans in the 11th century, much of it was still being explored as late as the 19th century. Egypt is an African...

No country, with any history to it, is ever 100% innocent. There is some good and bad in all countries.

My opinion based on some Norwegians I have met, is that most wouldn't give a damn and won't waste their energy being offended about inaccurate portrayals of Vikings, because they are not Vikings today. Actually Vikings in my opinion would think those horned helmets would be silly, but would not...

Do you think that there are many Norwegians that would be offended by inaccurate portrayals of the Vikings? Their aren't any actual Vikings that would be offended by getting their history wrong, and if their were, they'd probably just laugh at it. Norway is doing okay for a country its size...

Do Norwegians play Dungeons & Dragons? Well if they do, they'll have to learn English in order to play. Norway has 5.2 million people, would it be worth translating D&D books into Norwegian? What is the most common misperception about Vikings? Vikings never wore these! Your typical Norwegian is...

Lets turn the question around, if you are a group of high level adventurers, why would you waste your time with a low level dungeon. Low level dungeons don't have much treasure in them. If you are a high level adventurer, a 100 gold piece horde does not look like much treasure to you, is it...

Ever see the movie "White Man's Burden"? Makes you think doesn't it?

Does the Forgotten Realms adequately portray all the cultures of Europe? The Red Wizards of Thay don't depict Poland or Russia, Comyr isn't Germany. I suppose Waterdeep would be the equivalent to Paris? What do you think? What if I wanted to transpose the Adventure Storm King's Thunder to a...

D20 Modern is a lot less complicated than Starfinder. What Starfinder does is make optional rules seen in Pathfinder Mandatory and integral to the character creation process. Starfinder is bringing Pathfinder in the direction of 4th Edition D&D I believe. The Game designers just can't help...

More compatible with D&D than Starfinder is with Pathfinder!

The action doesn't last long. Lets suppose we had two groups of players, one group controls evil PCs that act as lieutenants for all the monsters in the Dungeon, and the other group of players controls the heroic party trying to explore and loot the dungeon? the DM just acts as a referee between...

They've also re-released the first four editions of Dungeons and Dragons, so maybe they plan to make all editions of that game available and they also plan to rerelease Star Frontiers, and GammaWorld, and Alternity as well! That is what I'm thinking they plan to do. They can earn extra money by...

Logical consistency makes it seem more real. Lets compare the world of Narnia with the Forgotten Realms. Which is more fantasy?
