Yes. 😄

This beat is, this beat is, this beat is...

Ha! I might allow that, and only ban black powder. 🤔

I'm usually fine with Medieval plus some anachronisms, even more likely if they are purely magical. I love the idea of a wandslinger, but mundane firearms are a no go. I don't have an issue with Eberron's Lightning Rail, but the Concordant Express' dumb little smoke stack fills me nerd rage. ;)

I'm in Nashville now, but I'm originally from the hollers of East Tennessee.

That's the convention were I'm from now, but my granddad's generation called it dope, e.g. "I'd like a dope and a moonpie".

These came to my area in '82, sold by a restaurant called Petro's. So everyone in my home region calls it a petro.

If you use the list from Unearthed Arcana, it was hard not to run into a "giant"...

Your wizard wants to summon a creature? Here's a bespoke stat-block. Your ranger wants a companion creature? Here's a bespoke stat-block. Your druid wants to turn into a creature? Here's a monster stat-block you can kludge into a pseudo-template.

I think the thought was that it was the successor to the AD&D line, and since the the need to contrast it to the by then moribund D&D (BECMI/Cyclopedia) line no longer existed, they dropped the Advanced adjective.

I always liked how Brigid of the Celts was patron of both Hearth and Forge.

I said schtick, not trick! I'd link the clip, but I don't think Eric's grandmother would approve. ;)

The one good argument I heard for this is that artists would check secular sources on what a phylactery should look like and would get references to tefillin, so instead of an amulet they'd draw them as little leather boxes with straps.

When they revisit the Artificer, I hope they shift away from the pseudo-steampunk stuff and more toward object oriented casting being their core identity. This is where rune magic should sit, and animistic fetish crafting, or incarnum style objects made of pure magic.

Between the conjurations and the example art, they seem to be leaning in to a stage magician like schtick for the Illusionist.

I had similar thoughts along these lines. Digging in to the adventures of some of the old non-TSR gaming magazines. The rights issues may be a bit tangled in some cases though.
