I grok that. I sadly do not often see the initial nomination threads. And when the Poll turns up, it's too late for us laggards. Need to pay more attention! |

The Sword and the Flame has well established and deserved reputation as a "toolbox set of rules". In other words, the basic mechanics are not really "period specific".
