Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
Silly Mayans. They buried their d6s half way.
ReplyDeleteJust marking encounters.
ReplyDeleteAlso I imagine most ancient military leaders lacking the miniatures that we have today so they had to resort to real people. It's a good thing that we have pewter and plastic now because I don't know how I could convince a few thousand people to go to battle for my casual entertainment.
ReplyDeleteDid they actually allow cameras in the exhibit, or are you being surreptitious?
ReplyDeleteJust no flash photos.
ReplyDeleteit is nice they laid out the encounter numbers. which # is the human sacrifice room? you got to stop them!
ReplyDeleteKeith Hoovestol you assume that the heroes WANT to stop the sacrifice. The good Mayan gods may require them to take place.
ReplyDeleteAdventure idea: protect the ritual room so that the righteous ritual takes place so that the gods aren't angered enough to unleash the monsters on the populus. A sect of freedom fighters tries to stop the ritual thinking they are saving the individuals but neglect the greater good.
ReplyDeleteReverse d&d - I like it!
