taking inspiration from exaggerated and lurid histories. Please do so. Just don't use these sources in historical arguments to support your material without
putting in some disclaimer to the effect that you are knowingly using the tabloid press. ( I confess to reading the headlines at the supermarket checkout,
but I never read the inside. Well, hardly ever...)
Please continue with the lurid propaganda, but with appropriate disclaimers (where the player characters can't see them)."
The only problem was, Ian, that you were wrong about the Cathaginians!
The propaganda seems to have been true! And at least the rather P.C.
Denver exhibit that I cited in 1995 as to the Aztecs (a subject I know
much less about) seemed to accept the truth of the legends about Aztec
sacrifice, as well. I think you are dating yourself one wave of
revisionism ago! :)
