(Please excuse my horrible Latin)
Those crazy Romans, I tell you. We use to think they were all noble and serious, and then we find things like this d20. I think Julius Caesar got killed because Brutus didn’t like it when his mage character attacked the darkness and got turned to stone by Medusa.
Y’see, all that stabbing was because daggers do 1d4 damage, and Caesar probably had over a hundred hit points – if he’s got that many followers, he’s at least a 12th level fighter, and you know they get 1d10 hp plus a con bonus per level…
I especially like this bit:
"Several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known from the Roman period. Modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used. "
Who knew the open gaming license was retroactive a couple thousand years?
It’s for the ancient Roman game of “Phylacae Draconesque”!
My God! There are time-traveling D&D players! All those bad sci-fi/fantasy movies were really documentaries!
Puts Timeline in a whole new light.
Peace.
so did the Fundies of the Roman era get put to the lions for demonising Caesar’s role-playing?
Chish-boom
