Truthfully... I don't regret my choices. Probably because I convince myself that I can get use out of everything I buy. And so far I have. But if there's one system I don't care for, it's FATE. Or maybe anything with a 'Doom' pool other economy mechanic that pits Players vs. GM. Every game...

That's very true. I always love to retell that story of that one time I nut-shot Godzilla in the Savage Rifts game with a single Glitter Boy round. I can't even say it went in one end and out the other. There was nothing left of his nether regions, his tail and about 50mi of forest behind...

Except that in Pulp stories, which Savage World's tries to emulate, the Heroes don't really die. The Bad Guys do, yes, but not the heroes outside of major arcs, that either end the book or are part of the hero team, so it's used for pathos and drama.

A lot of players seem to think Death is just another form of Failure in a game. It's not. It's the end of that particular game for you. If you make a new game piece and put it back on the table, it's still not the same as the old one. That one is not going to 'learn' or level anymore. It's...

We used to have one in my city. Sadly, it closed down a decade or so ago. Internal issues, from what I remember.

My first ever comic was a G.I.Joe one.

I'm here with it. A lot of Fantasy settings don't have the infrastructure to have firearms appear regularly. Warhammer is one of the few who does it.

"It's better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven."

Your conflating prosperity with progression. Not the same thing. HOWEVER, the fact that India had open its borders meant it did have both.

I think the term is more 'Agnosticism', or maybe more 'I don't mess with The Gods, maybe They won't mess with me.' as a sort of retaliatory belief.

Japan did when they went isolationist, as an example.

Here's the rub, even if this is true (Which it is in a lot of D&D settings), the average person is STILL going to worship a god so THEY CAN ENTER TOO! The fact that the rewards for proper worship are known and attainable would make it MORE likely to get followers.

First powered airship in the world: 1852. It took MORE than just 70 years. Humans had been trying to make flying vehicles since the 1400s. As other people pointed out, society changed drastically when the Gonne was first introduced. It became a lot more urbanized for one thing.

There is: Plausibility.

Yes. And a lot of fantasy gaming, especially American stuff, uses Hollywood as a basis for a LOT of it's ideas.
