There are some breath-taking classical ruins in Libya. I visited Leptis Magna near Al-Khoms once: the site just goes on and on and on. And when you think you've seen it all, you visit the amphitheatre...

If I recall correctly, "Tales From the Floating Vagabond" divided weapons into the categories "Sharp Pointy Thing" and "Long Sharp Pointy Thing", and "Gun", "Big Gun", "Really Big Gun", "Oh My God That's A Big Gun" and "Don't Point That Thing At My Planet". At the other end of the spectrum...

I've been looking forward to more Andor for two years now.

If you're referring to what I think you are, in 3.x it was removing magical traps. By definition they have a DC of higher than 20, and only a rogue could disarm them. I don't recall anything about magical locks.

And hope you roll high for initiative.

My personal pet peeve: elves having a natural proficiency with the longbow. Because when you live in a forest, what you really need is something that can shoot a hundred yards or more? And the longsword, too. In among the branches and the brush, you can't go wrong with three feet of steel to swing.

That brings back memories. Wasn't there a sequel? "Trinity Is Still My Name"?

Also, after Europe's population levels peaked in the early- to mid-1300s, they plummeted for the next fifty years or so and took a long time to recover. If the overpopulation had continued, people would have been more inclined to look for new lands to settle. As it was, no-one needed new lands...

Also, about fishing grounds: rich fishing grounds were a source of vast wealth, and heavily disputed. A fisher fleet stumbling across the Newfoundland coast isn't going to boast about it while various cod wars are going on. (As I recall, one of the facts supporting the idea of English fishermen...

So now we've established the possibility, the question is this: what have the Romans ever done for the Americas?

And there's the possibility that the Voyages of St. Brendan and Mael Duin are based on actual reports of Irish sailors reaching the Caribbean.

I've read that there's credible evidence that English fisherman were visiting the coast of Newfoundland in the 13th or 14th century.

Pah! When I started roleplaying, it was just "Bang! You're dead!" -"No I'm not, I ducked aside!"

Particularly their acid attack.

The son of a lowly estate owner who used his friendship with Cnut to Earl of Wessex, and consolidate his position as England's leading nobleman?

"Haut comme trois pommes". The equivalent in German is "drei Käse hoch" (three cheeses tall), and in Dutch "drie turven hoog" (three peat bricks tall). European legislation seems to have put an end to all these units of measurement.

The BBEG in the Dragonlance novel Weasel's Luck was an illusionist. I always assumed it was based on instructions from higher up to include some of the less common classes.

Didn't AD&D 2E already make the distinction, though? Clerics were generic worshippers, and specialty priests were devoted to a particular deity.

So do we think SpaceX is using the CAH land for storage because they ran out of space...?
