It's not a coincidence that both use the eagle as their national icon. The parallels between ancient Rome and modern America are the subject of a whole book, really.

Perez Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:44:40 +0000 http://highmoonmedia.com/tgt/?p=185#comment-181 I think some settings have unconsciously included them as de facto elements of civilization, but few I've seen have taken the time to really explore what they mean, what they represent to the world's cultures. I mean, you look at the Forgotten Realms, arguably one of the best detailed settings in RPG, the roads are there, but as far as I know, they've never been explored or detailed much, so though the map shows a roadway between cities and countries, it could be a dirt path wide enough for wagons. True roads, with the impact they had upon the Roman Empire, have been far and few in between in games (which actually makes me glad that you pointed out their existence in Tunnels & Trolls, since I did not know about that). Thanks for dropping by.

Let it be noted that my earliest map for the Empire of Khazan in Tunnels and Trolls did show roads connecting all the major cities of the Empire, and some place I even talked about how magic was needed to construct the road that climbed the great escarpment between Khosht and Khazan.
