    The dwarf is in a hoodie and holding a phone. Why do you think this is medieval fantasy?

    because of the background and helmet, and the elfs clothing.

      Those helmets were never worn outside of ceremonies, and those clothes are more victorian than medieval. And while the background does look olden style, there’s no reason a place can’t still look like that in the modern day.

      There’s more to say this isn’t medieval than to say that it is.

        In D&D, the standard assumption is that elves mature just as fast as humans, but they are culturally treated as children until around hundred or just a bit higher. But I’ve started developing a campaign setting where elves really are the equivalent of kids until that age, and all the implications of that. One of which is that, if humans attended school alongside elven kids, they’re going to lose their reputation of mystique and wisdom— they’re going to be viewed as kinda slow and dimwitted, as the humans graduate through the grades and the elevens get held back a decade or so.

          Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

          Net               X
          ------    =    ------
          Gross            100
          
          
          (GrossX) = (Net × 100)
          
          GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X
          
          Example;
          
          200             X
          ------    =   -------
          250            100
          
          Step A
          200 × 100 = 20000
          
          Now 250X = 20000
          
          Step B
          20000÷250=80
          
          Therefore X=80
          Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.
          

          It’s also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.

                Which kinda makes the math meaningless cause 73 < 100 requires no calculation.

                  it’s a generally accepted assumption in many post-Tolkien fantasy works.

                    if 100 is the age of adulthood then it is equivalent to 18 in human years

                      only if you assume the drinking age is 21 or the equivalent. An assumption that is true for a small percentage of population of the world for a small fraction of human history

                        In the USA probably because it’s their drinking age

                                before the Internet killed my attention span, I used to read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels by a variety of authors. Since then, I’ve watched a lot of anime and read a lot of amateur writing. I don’t have specific sources to cite, but the trope is common enough and recurring enough that I stand by my claim of “generally accepted”.

                                  Which is exactly what the character is doing

                                    Nah, it checks out. I ran the numbers myself and I got 15.33, which is roughly 15. This, of course, assumes the age of adulthood is 21 for humans and 100 for elves, and we don’t really have a reason to doubt those numbers.

                                    Others have doubted the 21 year figure being appropriate for humans but I think the 100 year figure is ridiculous for elves. It’s based on the assumption that age of maturity and total lifespan are always preserved in an exact ratio across different species, when this is demonstrably not the case.

                                      Does it matter? If we used maturity as a measure, I would still be unable to drink.

                                          I’m talking about physical maturity, not emotional maturity (which is greatly influenced by environment).
