Well, that sounds fantastic, and depending on the when (because, geography), I'm theoretically interested in hopping over to join in. And will happily talk about medieval studies and TTRPGs, the ongoing process of turning the Lombard laws into a TTRPG and/or run a play test of my #LangobardRPG :)
Oh, that's always fun! I hope you get a chance to play it soon 😊 I find having special dice always adds something extra - the D6 numbered 0-5 are for my #LangobardRPG, used alongside D10s (read as 0-9), to add a bit more colour and depth into the rules without getting too complex and 'crunchy'.
I was idly been thinking about this for my #LangobardRPG, and have just realised that journalling a solo-play version is just drafting a paper on a given law... 🤣🎲 Me: *writing a funding proposal for a postdoc project* oh yeah, this extended character background's coming together nicely!
Having a put-crosses-on-the-to-do-list day: sent: ✨ Book review ✨ Chapter revisions (Lombard inheritance laws) ✨ Thank you email (offprints of codicology chapter) And I've even got half an hour free! I could start the next (pressing) item, but i think I might ponder my #LangobardRPG instead 🎲📜
huh, the Frankish legal term "wargus" uargus" (from the Salic laws on grave re-oepening) being spelled as "uirgoria" really make me want a story at the intersection of outlaws, werewolves, grave robbing... and Astrology ♍🐺🤣 there's a #ttrpg#LangobardRPG anyway 🎲⚖️😉
This is very important! Had a character in my game last week roll a fumble¹ while trying to push a fallen tree off the path into a fast flowing, icy river. Could have made them fall in and freeze - but much better to give a chance for rescue 😊 🌿🎲⚖️✨ ¹ 1st fumble while playtesting #LangobardRPG !
Ha, the historically-themed game I GMd last night included numerous diversions where I pontificated on the source materials... Really must work on integrating that more into the story rather than just lore (law?) dumping 🤣 #LangobardRPG
Just ran an evening playtest of my #LangobardRPG which went nicely: tweaks to the system seem to work well, and the players got enmeshed in the story - so we're hoping to continue tomorrow... When they'll find the victim of the "Striga"/poison and start to investigate in more depth 😊 🎲⚖️🗡️🌿✨🦉
Also, just realised that #LangobardRPG might need another skill adding: oO Deridere [to scorn, mock] but, CW violence against women, ...is inspired from Edictus Rothari, §191, where abducting a betrothed woman places her husband-to-be in a state of turpe [disgrace] or derisiculum [scorn]
