Failed a spot check - Lemmy.World

As someone who’s been DMing for 30+ years, it’s really interesting to me when people have anachronistic stuff like coffee shops in D&D.
Anachronistic like magic in medieval settings?
Fair point! I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s just interesting to me cause I’m not used to it. I usually run D&D as medieval (like ~1300 AD) European fantasy with magic and a little bit of anachronistic renaissance stuff.
Depends on the magic. Fireball was used in the seventh through fourteenth centuries, so that’s not anachronistic. But if you want to do elemental transmutation, that wasn’t discovered until 1896. You could have it in steampunk.
