I assume #ttRPG players here have heard of Alarums & Excursions, the RPG APA which shut down earlier this year?

Well, a bunch of A&Eers set up a successor APA, in PDF form, called Ever & Anon, and you can download the first four issues here, for free:

This is basic but I'm doing a lot of economic history right now for Tides of History and the reason prosperity and growth matter is because they usually make people's lives better: having enough to eat, access to shelter, avoidance of violence and massive stress, that's what economies are for.

Part of my possibly unfortunate fixation on the "medieval" part of "medieval fantasy" means that I would like to see fewer (or no) D&D characters with surnames, and more should have lineage-names ("Ragnal, Erik's Son"), epithets ("Halfdan Worm-Tamer"), or place-names ("Aethel of Badwall").

Anna Landin @annalandin.bsky.social · 20d

By which I mean that Knut Eriksson, Erik Knutsson and Erik Eriksson were fighting Sverker the Elder, Karl Sverkersson and Sverker the Younger (aka Sverker Karlsson).

because why come up with new names when the names you've got can take at least another few generations of wear and tear.
