My goal is to teach this class to enough game dev students, and eventually that means when the games industry talks about history and worldbuilding it won’t be stuff like “in the Fourth Era, the Company of Lords laid waste to the Fractured Lands…” etc

Going over my slides for my 'history as world-building and narrative design' lecture, that includes this picture I saw on twitter as a representation of historiography. Honestly, still a perfect slide.

A PowerPoint slide. It has the title “What even is ‘history’?” With the bullet points:
-NOT just a list of old things that happened
-Written, created, constantly shifting thing
-Despite what people say history *should* be re-written

A Simpsons screenshot which has become a meme, of men cheering on two chimps in a fight. The men, and both chimps are labelled “historians”
