Literally Paris:

I love the very idea of the paris catacombs like. yeah sure the real-life city of paris has a straight-up megadungeon sprawling under it. Why not.

I love making a gag character for D&D, forgetting they’re just a gag character, and then take a step back to look at the original ref

It’s so important to remember how fast things change in the real world. How often does the average Joe reference international politics surrounding the war of 1812? When was the last time someone made a voting decision based on The Gunpowder Plot of the 1600s? Sure, nerds like me are very sour about Spanish explorers eating all the dodos, and we have historical tall tales, legends, and figureheads, but nobody in the real world talks about Hammurabi or the Akkadian dynasty the same way poorly written fantasy worlds regard their 5 thousand year old civilizations.

The average person in a fantasy setting shouldn’t know or care about long-dead kings unless someone has gone to great effort to make them care. The intrigue plot of a fantasy country shouldn’t hinge on political turmoil dating back more than a couple hundred years unless literal immortals are forcing everybody to care about their petty shenanigans. The people in the “3000 years ago” flashback shouldn’t be using the same tools as the modern folk unless something has gone *seriously* wrong in-universe.

Anything that took place in another century should be shrouded in mystique, misplaced admiration for simpler times, and information decay; anything that takes place in a different millennium might as well have been on another planet. Anything that happened over 5000 years ago should be prehistory, recorded as either stuffy academic works or horribly mistranslated fairy tales that have lost their original context completely. “Oh those guys were at war with one another in the 9,200s? You realize it’s the 11,000s right? One of those nations doesn’t exist and the other went from a merchant republic to warring city states to a pile of ash to a pseudo-democratic empire that just borrowed the original country’s name. Why would this guy have any beef at all with that guy just because they come from regions that were at war back when giant two-headed wolves were still a problem?”

pro-tip: don't ever use the sentence "thousands of years" in your worldbuilding unless you really know what a thousand years is like
