Quick Shot: COMPOUND FRACTURES We actually call them OPEN fractures. If you give your character a brutal injury with a bone sticking out of their skin, don’t forget that it’s at HIGH risk for infection. You might even kill them off or have them lose a limb. #writing #scriptsky #gamedev #booksky

I baked a pancake in my fireplace, the medieval way! Nice excuse to also show off the trivet blacksmith Klaas Kloosterhuis made for me, and the medieval replica pan made by potter Aebele of Atelier Able. Did I succeed? Sort of... ahem... youtu.be/r6j54DsdzbY?...

You might want to deep read this one. "Why would anyone choose the hard work of deep reading when they can just scroll and skim? "Mindless scrolling...is associated with increased boredom and loneliness. And doomscrolling is related to higher levels of existential anxiety and misanthropy."

Welsh bowmen had such a fearsome reputation long before Agincourt — and also at the hobelars, fast-moving mounted spearmen who fought alongside them in a very effective, very un-knightly style of warfare. from The History Squad www.patreon.com/posts/from-a...

Did you know that authors get paid a small amount for each loan of a book from a public library in the UK? It adds up to a significant supplement to my income. I've just got a message to say Dark Frontier was borrowed over 2,000 times last year! Thank you to all my readers!

Ich habe nun „Vermächtnis der Magier“, Band 2 der High-Fantasy-Saga „Adain Lit“ von E. M. Ascher, beendet. Anfangs ein wenig zäh nimmt das Buch dann doch Fahrt auf und ist bis zum Schluss ein spannender Ritt zwischen Licht und Dunkel. Wer kennt die Reihe? Wer ist auch #TeamWhyen? #GermanBookSky

The cool find of two stater-like gold coins in Switzerland leads today's A Whole Lot of History newsletter! 📰 The coins, based on Philip II of Macedon's, demonstrate the influence of the Hellenistic world on Iron-Age Celtic central Europe, both in terms of coined money and numismatic design 🪙
