I read a good post a while back about how even though your classic d&d world looks like mediaeval Europe, it behaves much more like the wild west. Rephrase this post to “imagine you’re in the saloon and a group of armed cowboys roll in…” and suddenly it all makes sense again!
I’d call the Sword Coast more “Western Europe following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire if that happened a thousand years later than it did and it happened all at once because of magic and also it’s been 1800 years since then but for some reason no one’s centralized power beyond the city state level or improved military or magical technology and THEN an actual real God got killed and everything got fucked until it was decided that was dumb and a mistake let’s pretend it didn’t happen”
i mean it’s not great but it’s not terrible either. it’s a good entry into salsa for folk trying to venture out from bland white people cuisine. back in the early 90s when we couldn’t make our own from homegrown tomatoes we couldn’t really get better salsa where we lived.
dude you know how you have taste memories about really good meals and shit? you just gave me taste PTSD. So thanks and all.

Okay maybe the Wild West metaphor is simpler.
If I recall correctly, which I may not, isn’t that a salsa commercial? Like pace chunky salsa?
(I looked it up: yes it was)
Pace, thick and chunky vomit.
