      Why has it taken 40+ years for my brain worms to ask WHY anyone would try to rob a dungeon? (As opposed to the underground lair of an evil sorcerer, a cave occupied by a dragon, a nest of goblins, etc.) Dungeons are prisons! (Yes, I'm looking at YOU, Messrs. Arneson and Gygax.)

      Absolutely. "Dungeons Make No Fucking Sense" is one of those things I'm hitting repeatedly in one of the comics I'm doing at the mo.

      The macroeconomics doesn't make any sense, either. I'm pretty sure @paulkrugman could wax sarcastic at length about the implications of trying to run a kingdom with fiscal policy based on AD&D rules.

      One of the things that hit me recently was how much effort was required to make clothes pre-industry, so the "buy off the peg" attitude transposed to the game from our real lives doesn't work.

      The equivalent of a pair of Levis 501s, circa 1880, would cost the equivalent in today's money of £250-400. (Not because of brand cachet but because of the cost of fabric.) Clothes back then were like automobiles today, in terms of wealth signaling.

      "as Dickens observed, his favourite object for theft was the handkerchief. A simple cotton handkerchief could be resold for six pence, while a silk one might fetch six shillings - enough cash to keep you in hot food for a week. " https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/static/Material-london.jsp …

      Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing protesting that he's a respectable citizen because he owns two pairs of trousers is a joke, but not as much of a joke as it comes off today (it's essentially "I have an apartment" or "I have a car")
