[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6012298, member: 1465"] I go with D&D traditions. I think that some realism is good, but too much historical realism is pointless unless you want to run a historically accurate campaign, in which case of course it becomes important. But the following two assumptions: - that technology progresses and spreads in the same way that it did on historical earth - that economies work in the same way that they do on historical earth are simply ridiculous in a fantasy settings where magic is everywhere, multiple intelligent races share the world but some of them live 100x times longer and have been around for a much longer time, different worlds on different planes of existence following different rules (even the rules of life & death vary completely) interact, and the Gods keep messing up directly with mortal affairs. And you think that with all this going on, studded leather makes no sense? ;) [/QUOTE]
