TLs provide an easy shorthand when X culture is TL1 agriculture, transportation, TL2 medicine, TL0 power and metallurgy, and so on.

But, having said that, the conceit behind Banestorm was brilliant, and I loved how they dealt with a wide variety of cultures there, so there's plenty of gaming goodness even if I never wanted to run the Banestorm campaign or anything. And yes, the TL concept is a good way to encapsulate how cultures differ from one another in everything from actual technology to level of development of the bureaucracy and so on (though I might instead use the term "TSL" for "Tech-Social Level" with a tip of the hat to none other than TSR in a couple of Sci-Fi books they produced many, many years ago). |

Well, since the disappearance of the Mnoren, Cidri could become the new Yrth.

Heh. Maybe THAT'S the secret of the Mnoren! Really they're just a bunch of teenagers sitting around a table and using the box-lid drop tables from their most recent RPG Kickstarter reward to "design" a game world... ;-) |

But did they dump a bunch of stuff on a planet, or did they build the planet? Perhaps Notch Mnoren's algorithm wasn't quite perfect and there was too much random noise in the biome generation suite. Sadly, they didn't have the budget for Cidri 2.0 (or perhaps that's where the Mnoren are now, and Cidri 1.0 has been abandoned because they have a better toy) |
