Such a fulfilling couple of days in Paris at the London-Paris Romanticism Symposium. What a group of generous scholars. It was a pleasure to meet & laugh with everyone, & listen to incredible papers on Shock and Surprise. Thanks to David Duff & Laurent Folliot for organising a wonderful event!

Literature serves as the basis of so much of our gaming, often sitting quietly in the background as the allegorical base of our play superstructures. Books never left us; we play in their conjured inspirations.

Did you know that Clair Obscur's story was hugely inspired by a French novel? I talked about it on @roguelike.club explaining how everything in that book, from the world building to the page layout, was reminiscent of a roguelike. I also mention how untranslatable it is. youtu.be/6ik6jB2YhZg?...

What tiny grief poem will you write? New piece published today. Have you joined us in The Mortal Portal yet? Come on in and have a rummage around in our back catalogue. We're not for everyone but we're just right for you. open.substack.com/pub/deadgood... >KV

Tiny grief poems

I don't consider myself a poet. And yet grief can be poetic. I found solace in writing a series of haikus about my dad's last days including his death. I invite you to write & share a tiny grief poem.

A wonderful week at the Bodleian digging through Thomas Percy’s Notebooks to confirm a couple of research hunches! But a favourite surprise for me was seeing 18yo Percy’s book catalogue where he had decorated and titled the cover with the 18C version of bubble letters. 10/10, no notes 👌🏼😌

In college I had a history prof walk into class slam a potato down & say "this is the most important entity here. There is not one person on this campus or even in this city whose significance to human history will prove to be anywhere close to that of a potato" & ykw gotta admit he was 100% right
