Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

What's the spider's ELO, do you think?

Not a combat encounter, IMHO.

Hot take: TSR fucked up way back, when they statted out "gods", etc.

Cool jacket, and reading the backstory you linked makes it even cooler.
