Thom Gobbitt<p>Thinking about how much of the information on the environment and economy for my <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> is derived from the various works by Chris Wickham, and wondering if i should just be done with it and call that section the &quot;Wicky&quot; 😉</p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>So far <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://scholar.social/@JubalBarca" class="u-url mention">@<span>JubalBarca</span></a></span> and Crystal -who dropped in briefly- have tried out the character creation, and tested the mechanics:</p><p>They met up at the ferry, crossing the river together to take the northern road into the foothills of the Alps. They&#39;ve sought and found the palisaded settlement of a Langobard freeman called Lanfrit who has welcomed them into his hall.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>The <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/IMC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IMC2023</span></a> test of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> is set up and underway -going nicely so far!- but would love another player or three 😁 </p><p>If you want to join, we&#39;re having a pause and reconvening at ca. 19:00. Still in the Old Bar, in the alcove by the door to the outside area! </p><p>📜🎲✨</p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>The <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> play test is still on for Monday at <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/imc2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>imc2023</span></a> - and I&#39;ve hopefully at least one player already! </p><p>Having tried live recounting a session earlier as a player (see my other thread from earlier) I&#39;m tempted to try it while telling a story too!</p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>The <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> playtest last night went very well, here are my two players - Barbara and Fernando at the end of the session, having figured out the whodunnit 😁</p><p>We had fun (even if Barbara&#39;s dice-rolling is jinxed 😉), and I got some lovely feedback on the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> game mechanism (and my GMing) and motivation to keep writing it up!</p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>I should also be running a <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> playtest in Lleida at the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/IMMLEIDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IMMLEIDA</span></a> on Sunday 25 June.</p><p>We&#39;re (provisionally) planning to meet at Cafe Abat at ca. 16:45, and start character creation from 17:00 <br />(I&#39;ll update here if location changes)</p><p>🎲✨📔🌿</p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>I&#39;m hoping to playtest <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> at <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/IMC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IMC2023</span></a>, Old Bar on Monday 03 July.</p><p>Starting character creation at ca. 17:00. Would love to have some players if you&#39;re in the area, whether familiar with <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> or not!</p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>Presented a thread at the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MAMG23" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MAMG23</span></a> conference on fantasy and apocalypses in games yesterday. My papers on incorporating magic from historical sources into a <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a>, with a passing mention of my <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a>. </p><p>It&#39;s archived here:</p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230608103746/https://twitter.com/booksoflaw/status/1666407154658553857?s=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2023060810</span><span class="invisible">3746/https://twitter.com/booksoflaw/status/1666407154658553857?s=20</span></a></p>
Thom Gobbitt<p>Play tested my <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a> last night with my brother <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://h4.io/@containerbuoy" class="u-url mention">@<span>containerbuoy</span></a></span> and nephew, went very well! The <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> had a bit of a supernatural focus, inspired loosely by the early <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>medieval</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LombardLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LombardLaw</span></a> of Rothari&#39;s on masca and striga (Nos 197-98 &amp; 376), setting our intrepid pair to investigate a mysterious death! I think it went quite well!</p><p>Tested out a d10 adaption for the game engine, that I have to admit worked better than my usual d6 one and was more logical, and intuitive too! Great fun!</p>

Thom Gobbitt<p>Hello! I&#39;m a postdoctoral researcher focusing on the history of early <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>medieval</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>law</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/lawbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lawbooks</span></a>, both in terms of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/codicology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>codicology</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/palaeography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>palaeography</span></a> of the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/manuscripts" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>manuscripts</span></a> as well as <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LegalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LegalHistory</span></a> / <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HistoryofLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HistoryofLaw</span></a>. I’m currently preparing a new project proposal focused on <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/poisoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poisoning</span></a> in the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LegesBarbarorum" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LegesBarbarorum</span></a>.</p><p>I&#39;m also an occasional <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> player (usually as the GM), and am combining my interests by slowly producing a roleplay game based on the early medieval <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Lombard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lombard</span></a> laws, called <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LangobardRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LangobardRPG</span></a>.</p>
