Well how long is a piece of string really?

kythkyn.bsky.social•4 days ago

31 feet

Delving Deeper 100'
OSE 50'
Labyrinth Lord 50'
Knave 2e: Not stated
Shadowdark 60'
Cairn 2e 25'

Shadowdark is 60' because it's the equivalent of double near, one of the abstract units of distance it uses!

So what I'm saying is it makes sense in the context of the game.

C'mon OSR authors!! A (Somerset) Rope is an English unit of measurement for drainage and hedging of 20'.

It's right there!

(And a chain is 66' to be inconvenient)

I'm convinced anything shorter than a 100ft in a game is the product of malicious design, esp w/ inventory tracking.

60meters is standard IRL and light enough to sling over ur shoulder.

What would be the point of collecting retroclones if not to sift through them for the tiny differences?
