RPG a Day 2017 Blog: Day 27 (make up)

Somehow I missed day 27 about essential tools. Well, that one wasnt very appealing to me anyway, so I will delve once more into the alternate questions stack.

Have you learned a skill because of events of a game?

Not necessarily a skill, but I have learned more about ships and sailing due to running 7th Sea than I would have ever done on my own accord. I wont bore any of you with the details that I learned but suffice it to say a long haul ship takes a larger crew to run at full capacity even during modern times than I ever thought, and pirate ships being able to function with a crew so much smaller was even a bigger shock. From 5Es DMG I learned a lot about proper titles and royalty--that again carried over to 7th Sea which has detailed lineages for certain characters and showed connections between the various titles. You could even argue that I learned a simplified version of trade economics and supply and demand. Now, that isnt to say that I wasnt exposed to such things before nor that I am an expert on any of the topics covered in the RPGs, but the fact that my knowledge base increased due to a silly hobby is still impressive.
