[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2433784, member: 19675"] You don't consider Wish to be a way to...alter reality? OK... So, yes, they do. Entropy is the reason why creatures experience hunger. Creatures deplete their energy reserves and must replenish them because they are not perpetual motion machines. The formulation of my defense of Statement 3 is because you challenged the original statment that a "Need for sustinance" was one of the only 4 universal driving forces on culture. There is always a way to explain something like an Aztec near the Black Sea...a shipwreck (followed by extensive travel, voluntary or not) is one way, an organized expedition is another. Perhaps Columbus (or the Vikings, if you prefer) wasn't first, and the true adventurers actually sailed East instead of West... Or Quetzecoatl did it. Consider the speculation about the [URL=http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/conference/qc99/andrewcollins.htm]Cocaine/Tobacco stuffed Mummies[/URL] or the [URL=http://members.ozemail.com.au/~classblu/egypt/article.htm]Egyptian Heiroglyphs in Australia[/URL]. Hoaxes or genuine, they've stimulated new research into who discovered whom and when. What radical limitations are you talking about? LeGuin's Earthsea has several radically different cultures! Roke is dominated by men- indeed, it is a male-only society at the time of the first novel, but Ged must venture into a matriarchal society to complete one of his earlier quests. There are expansionistic, warlike societies, and others that are pastoral and meek. When running from his darker self, Ged meets people who live on great rafts in the sea. There are places where only dragons live... And Earthsea has many islands on the world never more than sketchily described. It did. It also worked for DM, the campaign and the other players. [/QUOTE]
