About bookrat

Someone once asked, "Why do people post how long they've been playing RPGs? What am I supposed to take away from that?" I thought about it, and decided on a couple of answers:

1) They just want to give an idea of their experience.
2) They believe that because they have been playing for so long, they are right.
3) They want to counter #2.

I've been gaming since 1990. I say this for reasons #1 and #3. Please don't try to pretend that just because you've been playing a long time it means you are better than someone else.

"I don't get why people see D&D or it's derivatives as medieval European.

You have medieval knights (500-1500 AD) wearing renaissance era armor (1400-1700 AD), wielding roman era falcatas (500 BC-500 AD), worshiping Greek gods (800 BC-600 AD), traveling with native American shamans (12,000 years ago - today) who transform into prehistoric dinosaurs (200 million years ago) while wearing the hides of Saharan beasts, who are accompanied by modern Japanese schoolgirls in black pajamas wielding Tokugawa Era Daisho (1600-1800 AD), a mysterious man in a western long coat wielding an 18th century revolver, and an old man wearing robes and a pointed hat who chants mathematical equations to control reality, all together on a journey to kill brain eating space aliens, giant sentient fire-breathing spell-casting reptiles, and a sentient jello."
