There are several explanations:Otaku-sempai wrote:80 years in the future? Is your campaign set 2 or 3 years before the Quest of Erebor or are you just exaggerating a bit?
1) I said "Young Aragorn" so maybe we are playing before 2947
2) I thrust my great spear with such blinding speed that I actually dilated time in our campaign, and as a result everything now takes about 9% longer than it does for those of you with inferior spear skills.
3) It's "about 8 decades" between the Erebor quest and the end of the Third Age, and for the sake of a tongue-in-cheek post I didn't stop to use my slide rule.
Take your pick. I like #2.
