I hate this timeline.
A broken man, obsessed with 500 year old Mexican culture.
I hate this timeline.
I hope the nightmare fuel is enough to get Megaman built before 2040.
Bolts of cotton too. Or maybe some jade or obsidian.
Consume nutrients to reproduce.
Then make sure that whatever you do, execute it well.
Oh they’re great characters and well written. I just don’t like them though. I can’t justify my tastes.
I find all the party members insufferable. I change their classes almost immediately for better synergy or I switch them out for the soulless NPC’s Withers has. Ironically, I’ve been D&D 5E Dungeon Master numerous times and I find the party members to be absolutely authentic characters real people would play. Good work Larian, ya made the characters so table top believable that I want to find a new group to play with.
I needed to see this today.
No matter how old I get I still love PB&J.
Trying not to think about life and the future while being mostly isolated.
Oklahoma is going to get wrecked by another tornado that will be so bad that the tornado measuring system will have to be updated, again.
Texas lost the right to secede in The Civil War.
This is a respectable pursuit.
I’m almost 40, can’t I just have a juice box?
European executions could be excessively cruel. Being burned alive, drowned, stoning, crucifixion, being eaten alive by rats escaping hot coals, or being locked in a cage to die from exposure is on the same level as having one’s heart cut out or being shot with arrows. Europeans would impale men on pikes and the Tenochca would rack skulls, apples to oranges but it’s all the same fruit.
I think the nation/tribe that were the Spanish collaborators you’re referring to was Tlaxcala which were the target of habitual Flower Wars for captuered warrior sacrifice. The pleas of Tenochca, the residents of Tenochtitlan, fell on deaf ears to the only other major power in the region the Purépecha Empire.
While Aztecs valued human sacrifice to a great extent it was due to the benefits it’s bestowed in Mixtec-Pueblo culture. It was a source of not only spiritual reverence, but also military and economic superiority. It also had non domestic function as a diplomatic tool to visiting nobles and bounty haulers / tax collectors. Not to mention it served as a form of community entertainment in a similar fashion to European public executions.
As far as saying Europeans tried to slow down to make the Americas a vassal state is a misconception. Disease wiped out an apocalyptic amount of people. Following the fall of Tenochtitlan small pox ravaged the Valley of Mexico and all along the Gulf Coast. This nearly wiped out all infrastructure and Spain tried to subjugate the rest. Hilariously trying to impose a 30% tax written in Spanish and using that as a legal justification for military actions.
You had me going for a second.
Aztecs didn’t value gold all that much. If they put through the effort to smuggle anything it would have been cacao seeds or quetzal feathers.
Campaign editor and a level cap of 20. I just want to run D&D for friends in game.
