Meanwhile, Bob’s Bison Burgers has been trading in Pavis since the early 1980s.
I still get teased about a player claiming bears can’t go backwards and I just incorporated it into the battle. It was a one-shot for new players (and new GM). It was fun. Another player got pissed on to put out a fire. Fun times. “Anything goes” can be fun, don’t overthink it sometimes
You think that bad, wait till you hear about wizards selling spells to America to get guns.
One time another player and who both speak spanish were playing tieflings and decided that tieflings are native to mexico so we’d make jokes about our native foods that no one knows about bc they are “from mexico”. Anytime we spoke infernal in game we’d just speak spanish irl bc the other players couldn’t understand it. Super silly
Can you explain how potatoes led to hotdigs?
At one point when people on Twitter were arguing about the historical accuracy of LGBT+ groups in a DnD setting, I made the argument that anyone who includes potatoes in their setting doesn’t care about historical accuracy anyway. This led to a discussion about what would be missing from a medieval setting and the conclusion that a “historically accurate” DnD setting would have gay people, but not potatoes. This became a running joke.
Fast forward a few months, and during a fair there’s a vendor selling “sausages in a bun, topped with mustard sauce or sauerkraut.” The players caught on to them being hotdogs, and it sparked another discussion about what foods were available in a “historically accurate” setting.
(Which, all those ingredients would have been available to the setting, even of they weren’t eaten in that configuration.)

Why wasn’t your first response to gesture broadly towards ancient Greece? Homosexual relationships were fairly normal and marriage was mainly for having children.
In a strictly medieval Europe setting there’s documented examples of homosexual relationships, but they weren’t normal due to suppression by the catholic church
And on that argument: being queer is normal. Queer happens. Bigotry is what’s specific to a culture.
Sausage (at least forcemeat in casing) dates to Mesopotamia, 3000BCE.
I don’t think the innovative leap to put that sausage in between bread is a world-breaking defiling of historical accuracy, personally.
Humanity has been putting sausages between buns since the beginning of time.
