[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 3552874, member: 15538"] Abstractly. I believe the core rulebooks mention that actual coin is rare except for the economic elite. How many PCs are "peasant farmers," and why do they have to become kings? William Wallace was minor gentry (little more than a free farmer with a pedigree) and he became a major military leader. Joan of Arc was, in fact, a farmer's daughter who led the armies of France to victory. Bah! The steel that made plate armor eventually built railroads. There has been [i]nothing[/i] like the metallurgical advances of the Middle Ages until the late 20th century. Alloys, folding, different tempering, the discovery of carbon, silicon, and titanium impurities. I question your view of history. [i]Television? The word is half Greek, half Latin. No good can come of it. C. P. Scott [/i] The idea that the Renaissance differs markedly and distinctly from the so-called Dark Ages is pretty much a myth. There is no date one ends and the other begins, nor any crucial demarcation in belief or culture. Nor is the Renaissance a time of country farmers praising philosophical advancements or cheering on discoveries in the field of astronomy. [/QUOTE]
