The Dark Ages Cometh (back)
#Trump and his #arrogant, #ignorant coterie are doing their very best to destroy the things that do make America great - #education, #art, #libraries and #science. It is so feckin #depressing and I can only wish good speed to those who are doing their best to stem the tide and repel the infidels. I really never thought I would ever be making common ground with Universities such as #Yale.

Apologies again for missing a week due to life and busywork, but now we are back to the library...! Moving over to the Mage shelf, we're talking today about sorcerers: the hedge wizards of variable understanding who might cross paths with the fae. Skimming across the choicest relevant bits from three books, join us for a conversation about mortals making (mediocre?) magic.

What do you think of this ...

Most of us has seen this graph. I'm not commenting the accuracy this the graph, just using it as a device for my argument. We are currently within a scientific and societal advancement hole that is being made by capitalism.

Back in time and another game line...! We're delving into the OG Vampire: the Dark Ages (and its Companion) this week, scraping out some interesting fae content for the era—and rather more than most books offer as Changeling connections. It's more vibes than history, but still good for any table looking to go (Dark) Medieval. And no experience of playing bloodsuckers necessary!

You can’t just rebuild that intellectual infrastructure through sheer force of will, certainly not as an individual. The most gifted person in medieval Europe simply could not get as far as a person in the Hellenistic era would have been able to get. Medieval Europeans thought the ancients were better because they were, and it took centuries for them to get to a place where they could seriously think of themselves as surpassing their achievements.
