As I was listening through this, I was hoping that muscle mommy Guildeluec ("carrying the varlet") and twinkette Guillardun didn't dump Eliduc (preferably over the side of a boat) and run off together, but that ending was pretty much perfect 🤭
New episode, finishing Marie de France's "Eliduc"!
-----
It's part two of the drama-filled adventure of Eliduc, the two-timing knight! In the final part of this tale, we discuss how medieval writers poke fun at the chivalric system, and explore how to adapt knighthood - in all its forms- into your D&D campaign.

Reblogging to raise awareness of this cool campaign 🫖🐭
A sample page spread from the GM's Guide in our current kickstarter project, a collection of 50 system-neutral magic items for TTRPGs inspired by medieval literature, marginalia, and archaeology.
Okay, technically this one is inspired by pre-medieval archaeology, but come on. Look at it. You can't be mad at those little mice.
This was inspired by the following item of ancient pottery, currently held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (link here):
And no, I cannot explain how or why I decided that this thing should be used to make helpful mouse-constructs out of wine. But if you want it to do that for you, you can back the kickstarter at the link below -- it runs until the end of June.
