@bretdevereaux.bsky.social I am immensely curious about your TTRPG campaign setting, especially in light of your worldbuilding resource list and posts about coinage, etc… perhaps consider it for a post sometime?

"Historical" TTRPGs will be like "our wizards are based on authentic medieval Western European beliefs about how magic worked", and I'll be like "are they really, or are they a bunch of 1970s Neopagan 'ancient witch cult' stuff in a funny hat", and the game will be like "those are the same thing".

Even in STEM disciplines, few students graduate knowing the vital foundational knowledge the degree is supposed to impart.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social Is there a good English translation of Cicero’s “De Legibus” available online? I am trying to read up on the philosophical basis for natural law.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social You've covered farming, textiles, and ironworking... how were buildings and infrastructure built in classical antiquity? To what extent were engineering and architecture different professions? Was most construction undertaken by the state or by wealthy individuals?
